To ask why mine was the only birthday greeting not “ liked”?

[tigercub50]

This is on Facebook. I have friends on there who I don’t see much of in real life or who are acquaintances - this particular person has a son in DD’s class so I have known her for 4 years & very occasionally socialised but I wouldn’t say we are friends as such. Her DD’s birthday was the other day & I put a greeting on her timeline. Noticed later that every one had been liked by her except mine. Now there are 2 more & they are both liked. I know it’s a bit silly & is more than likely an oversight but it’s bothering me. Will she think it’s odd if I message her to ask about it? I was tempted to remove the greeting but that’s petty.

I hope you're both 12

Unless this is something that happens regularly in your "communications" with her, I would chalk it up to an oversight.

Even if it does happen regularly, I still wouldn't PM her. I'd just stop "liking" her spiel.

It's easy to miss those birthday greetings if someone has received a stream of them. I wouldn't read anything into that at all - they may have not even seen your greeting.

My hope for our world dies a little every time I read stuff like this. 🙄

You are waaaaaay overthinking this OP. Let it go.

Maybe she didn't recognise your name? You say you're not really friends in real life..? You know her son as he's in your daughter's class but do you actually know her daughter at all? She might have thought it odd that you commented?
I'm sure you were just being friendly though.

My hope for our world dies a little every time I read stuff like this.

My hope for our world dies..
It's concerning how a lot of a whole generation's self worth and mood is largely based on Likes in a virtual world.

Oh for fuck sake; you're not actually friends in real life?? She probably doesn't even know who you are
Why are you on Facebook wishing randoms Happy Birthday, and being devastated when they don't notice you?

That has happened to me twice lately, and I have assumed they didn't spot it, so, later in the evening, I posted again. ''Hope you had a lovely birthday.' (Coz I didn't know if they had seen my post and didn't want them to think I had not messaged them a birthday greeting...)

Response.... 'yay thanks tippz it's been fab!'

Just post again, 'I hope your DD had a good birthday.'

Your friend may be stewing coz she thinks you haven't wished her DD a happy birthday LOL. Just remember, some people get 50-100+ birthday messages, (on FB) and it is easy to overlook one or two.

Oh and I agree with the posters saying do not message her to say 'why did you not like my post?!'

Just say 'hope your DD had a fab day!!!' You could even put (at the end of that message,) - 'hopefully, my birthday greeting for her from yesterday got through!' with a big grin >

Chances are high she didn't spot it, or did spot it and didn't realise she hadn't liked it!

The posters taking the piss out of the OP, and bashing her, are being unfair BTW; some people stress about stuff that YOU wouldn't stress about. That doesn't make you better than them. So quit mocking, and get off your high horse.

She won't have been "stewing" . She really won't.

ILostIt - totally agree with your comment.

I'm currently trying to instil ssense in my 12 year old DDs that

Op it sounds like you would be best off Facebook. I'm sure it is just an oversight. You sound a bit weird to be monitoring likes.

Whoops pressed send by mistake.

Was trying to say that I am trying to make them realise that their self worth has nothing to do with who responds to their comments on social media.

This makes me feel like I'm fighting a losing battle.

I do overthink things in general. And I do probably spend too much time on Facebook.

@iamagreyhoundhearmeroar

IN MY OPINION she won't have been "stewing" She really won't.

Fixed that for you.

With all the respect in the world OP, you need to get hold of a strong grip and keep firmly attached to it.

Exactly what leighaJ has said
Please do not spend any more of your time or energy on this .

Let it go its facebook you shouldn't care that much about it its just a waste of time and effort. Who cares maybe she just missed it maybe she doesn't like you wither way its not worth it

I really can't wait for Facebook to go the way of Myspace. The world will be a better place.

My absolute bitch of a SIL does this. Likes or comments on everyone’s posts except mine. Same with never liking or commenting on my statuses

SO WHAT?!?

I am speechless. I do love FB and spend too much time on it, but some users are on a different level entirely.

Unless she posted a message along the lines of "thank you everyone for the birthday wishes EXCEPT tigercub50", you're overthinking this

@Idontdowindows

I woulden't worry, she might have accidently skipped yours. That has happened to me, and I just PA like my comment so they all look the same .

Had a ‘friend’ who used to do this. It was deliberate. Unfriended her in the end!
