Aibu to delete next door neighbour from my Facebook?

[Stillmonday]

We've been next door neighbours for 5 years and hardly spoke apart from the odd hello etc.

She requested me as a friend on Facebook 4 weeks ago but hasn't liked or commented on anything I've posted. She seems to be one of those that has anyone as friends on her Facebook as she's got around 1000 people on there. I have less than 100 as I usually only have real friends & family on there.

I wish I hadn't accepted her friend request now as we aren't actually friends I feel she's only added me to be nosy and bump her friends list up a bit more 😏

Now I want to delete her. Would it look really rude?!

Your FB you decide who's on it. If she has as many friends as that she probably wont notice. I frequently delete people for a variety of reasons

I delete people too particularly since having my baby as I like to share updates with friends & family. I really don't like the thought of her seeing my photos

If you don’t want to be awkward by deleting her just set it so she can only see your limited profile

Why did you accept her request? You clearly don't like her, odd.

@Stillmonday

Can you not just put her on your 'restricted friends' list?

That way, she cannot see anymore than she would see if she was not on your friends list...

This situation is why I no longer use social networks, not found to be missing out on anything in the 12 years since I left facebook.

People use FB in different ways, some people have everyone they cross paths with on their, some just close friends. Both are fine but it's ok to keep yours more private if you want to. You used to be able to have different levels of friends on FB, I don't know if they still do but when i had lots of work people requesting me I had a "work level" and a "personal level" of friends and stuff about my kids etc wasnt visable to the work people. That might work for you, especially if it would be awkward binning her off FB while still living next door to her.

She's being nosey restrict what she can see.

That's why some people have 2 FB accounts. One "official one" with real name and a few generic posts and the odd photo.

One private one, with a nickname.

It makes your life so much easier!

@Boom45 I don't think there is different levels. I can only find to hide new posts from her but that means trying to remember every time I want to post something

You can have different levels - build lists. Set your profile to post to friends except restricted, and it'll remember for future posts.

You can't have two profiles though, it's against TOS and Facebook will close both down if and when you are reported. Unless you fit some very niche requirements, your profile also has to match your ID.

ID? I've never put any of my real details on Facebook. I wouldn't give them my information.

I really don't like the thought of her seeing my photos

Well in that case delete her

Other option as PP said is next time you post and it asks who's to see the post select Friends except for and add her name. Itll then do that as the default in future. Although if you're doing that surely youd be as well removing her. Shes only a neighbour

YWNB remotely U to delete her. The only surprise is that you added in her the first place given that you have only "real" friend and family on there.

This, however, sounds a touch needy to me:

She requested me as a friend on Facebook 4 weeks ago but hasn't liked or commented on anything I've posted.

It sounds like you want to delete her as she doesn’t like your pictures which is a bit petty

Just stick her on “restricted” then she can see only what you post publicly. Click on her profile, go to “friends” icon - then on friends- then edit friends list - then click restricted. Done.

Put her on restricted access.

To add someone to your Restricted list:
Go to their Profile
Hover over Friends at the top of their profile
Click Add to another list
Click Restricted

Job done
She does not get a message telling her you've done this.

I don’t understand why people friend request you and then don’t interact- what’s the point?
