The old FB-

How do you feel when someone de-friends you, even if you don't ever have any direct interaction with them?

I have some "friends" who clearly have excluded me from seeing their posts as they only pop up when a mate has tagged them in a post. They get defriended by me. I think I'm just there to keep there numbers of friends over 300 but I have zero idea why they asked me to be friends on there just to block me seeing their posts - weird, it makes me dislike them in real life.
But there's one mum who does this to me, I repay the favour - she's a tricky one as she's a mutual friend of a large group ( who I regally see I real life as we live all over the place) once my child moves from the school where a mutual friends son also attends I'm unfrieding her. As then no there's no day to day real life awkwardness. If I unfriendly her I will get comments in real life on the school run. But she's not no longer a friend to me on any level in my eyes.
TBH I hate FB for reasons like this. So much weirdness. Just goes to show some people seem to harbour bad feelings for no apparent that otherwise you'd never know about

Iv had several people delete me. These are people from school who weren't really in the same circles, have nothing in common with me yet seemed to add me for nostalgia sake. I randomly had a spate of some of these people add me again. Apparently they had all deleted me and again the nostalgia must have prompted them when I show yo their "people you may know" section.
If I don't want to see people's post I just hide them

I have just deleted a load of people. My reason was because I was about to make a pregnancy announcement and post some photos etc for close friends and family, and didn't really want people who aren't rl friends or that haven't spoken to me for years seeing something so personal.
