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

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.

Open a window, love.

This is a problem that should be confined to 13 year olds... I can't believe people actually actually think about this. I don't wish anyone happy birthday on Facebook.

Probably an oversight

Easier to like the 1-2 new greetings freshly coming in, than the whole block of greetings that she probably mass liked. Especially baring in mind it’s her birthday and she’s most likely busy

You are thinking too much into this

Astrid2 · 06/03/2018 13:01

It wasn't even her birthday it was her daughters. FFS

Sorry but this made me laugh

Paranoia!

Bless you, Tippz, are you 12 too? Grin

bimbobaggins · 06/03/2018 13:35

Tippz yes of course some people stress over what other people wouldn’t. But this is playground stuff, not actually real life problems.

CavoliRiscaldati · 06/03/2018 13:49

I think people who do stress over that stuff really need to get off Facebook and any social media and get a life until they come back on it! (and I have FB opened right now)

LaurieMarlow · 06/03/2018 14:32

What cavoli said. Some people are not emotionally resilient enough for facebook. They'd be better off avoiding it altogether.

Aeroflotgirl · 06/03/2018 14:33

Its a passive aggressive thing, especially if you think they might be deliberate.

LemonysSnicket · 06/03/2018 22:49

Because who fuckin cares? Her screen moved, her friend asked her a question and she scrolled past ... it’s anfuckingblike stop overthinking it.

DalekDalekDalek · 06/03/2018 23:10

This is actually one of the most pathetic things I have ever read! OP WTF? It's a like on Facebook! Woopdi-fucking-do!

MulanRouge · 06/03/2018 23:14

The poor woman probably doesn't even realise she didn't like it.

NellMangel · 06/03/2018 23:21

I'm like you OP and read too much into such things. FB is awful for anyone with low self esteem. I think the advice about leaving Facebook is probably wise, I'm tempted but currently quite lonely so bit reluctant to lose the connection.

Yes aware of what a sad figure I cut by this post! Blush

OMG dont message her youll look unhinged!

Ive done this before on congratulations over my wedding... I didnt notice till a year later (when I was looking back over the post about the wedding on the anniversary) that I had not liked someones comment in the middle of all the comments!! I had honestly not seen it at the time. When you get so many comments at once its hard to keep up and you may miss the alerts... so unless you have time to go back thru them all with a fine tooth comb (which seeing as its on the day of what is presumably an event of some sort you probably wont) occasionally one or two go unnoticed.

I really wouldnt think twice about this. Unless theres loads of other weird stuff making you think this person dislikes you then just write this one off.

Please please dont message her because thats really odd and a bit intense. Id be really freaked out if anyone messaged to ask why I hadnt liked their comment.... I wouldnt think well of them to be honest.

Agreed

This thread is a real eye opener in terms of how some people think, past their teenage years.

I'm trying to imagine what they would say to their own 13 year olds, if they came to them and said, "So and so didn't click like on my birthday message and I'm upset".

I hope they'd tell them not to pay it another thought, but now I'm not so sure.

It's the same with so many MNetters getting offended because someone has had a quick cull of their friend list and dropped them off, having had very little contact with them.

Needy doesn't even describe it.
