Well, my ballet instructor has recently posted a message on his page that he was going to make his FB page more private so will be removing some friends, don't take it personally, etc.
Today I noticed that he had unfriended me. I am not really his close friend so it was fine - until out of curiosity I checked his profile and saw that he kept on most of our class, including those who I know for a fact are not close to him either.
Now, this is not a personal thing as he is gay, but I just can't help feeling very upset. It took me a long time catching up with the level of his class so I guess I sort of got used to being not good enough. :( He knew I had been struggling, but he accepted me in the class and was always very encouraging, we go a few years back, and the irony is, I have always thought he was the best dancer ever and admired him wholeheartedly (again, purely professional). I realise this may sound childish but this de-friending feels like a betrayal of my good feelings.
I am staying on with the class as I enjoy it but feel hurt to the extent that even begrudge writing him a Christmas card now.
