Ok I know this is pathetic, but when a friend doesn’t like your posts but likes others

[Lardlizard]

I know it’s needy and pathetic, but normally if someone didn’t like my stuff I’d think of maybe they’ve not been on fb etc

But one of my friends hasn't liked any of my stuff for ages
Yet I know she still must like me because she’s always messaging me on what’s app and asking to get together etc

My posts are only very tame like the kids pumpkins etc
And a couple of half term activities

Yet I see her liking and commenting on other people’s posts basically the same sort of posts as mine and I think why do you ignore mine ?
Esp when she comments and likes people’s things of people I know she’s actually not that keen on in real life

I guess there’s a chance she might not see mine
I don’t know how the algorithm works

But I’ve now stopped liking hers too

I'd find it a bit hurtful too

I have something similar. I’m in a close friendship group of three. One of my friends always comments on the others Instagram photos, along the lines of ‘beautiful’ or ‘you look amazing’ but rarely comments on mine.

It feels incredibly petty but it does sting a little.

@Lardlizard

I totally agree it is pathetic

With great big shiny bells on.

Maybe she's muted your posts cuz you post too much

Just read your other replies, how old are you OP? You sound very immature, she doesn't have an obligation to like your stuff because you're friends or because you like hers

@Lsquiggles I think voicing an opinion with a emoji is immature. How old are you and why are you blushing?!

Could she have muted you?

I've muted a friend who's posts bore the crap out of me and she posts so much it clogs up my feed. Constant pics of what her kids are wearing/eating.

I have less than 200 people on FB. I only see posts from about 20 or so (all people I have stalked/ had a nose on their FB in the past 6 months).

I was doing a little 'I wonder what happened to X' the other day and when I clicked on her page there was 6 months worth of posts I'd never seen.

It's quite clear that she's not seeing your posts, but you genuinely are being pathetic and two faced (happy to chat via Whatsapp but unfollow her without discussing it).

I know what you mean. I am starting to hate Facebook. My photos only ever get three likes. The same photo on Instagram got 60 likes!!

Nasty

It's not nastu. It's truth. Op is moaning about people being 2 faced while dsoind the same shit herself. That's pathetic

Facebook is so petty I deleted mine because of people like you OP, with their weird obsessions over who has liked posts or who is talking to who or out and about with whoever. That and the fact that putting pictures of my/my child’s life over the internet seems like a weird thing to do anyway, so I no longer do it.

That may be a bit blunt, I don’t mean to sound rude

Ive already said I’m done with it, so keep wasting time if you want to posting asking questions I’ve already answered

@Gncq

Sorry, as a person who doesn't do Facebook for good reason, your post really reads to me as written by someone mentally damaged by social media.

This!

OP looking for offence everywhere is an exhausting way to live.

@Lardlizard

Only thing I think she can get jealous of is people that are financially comfortable Which I certainly don’t flaunt

I have a friend who likes most of my posts but there is a clear pattern of her not liking specific posts. Any time anything good happens in my life (passing my degree, posting a touristy photo on holiday, moving house, etc) she won't like it.

It's weird though - when we met we were young and we had very different ideas of what we wanted from our lives. We have both since achieved what we'd each hoped for so it can't be jealousy. Meh, who knows?

I have a friend who posts inane stuff constantly., so I've unfollowed her. I just don't want my newsfeed clogged up with shite from the one person tbh, nothing to do with her as a person!

I just mute them. What's good for the goose and all that.

My god grow up. Maybe she thought the other peoples pumpkins were more imaginative than yours? So she liked their and not yours. Are you not allowed to only like things you genuinely like now? You have to like everything your friends put up or you don’t like them???? Christ. Get a life!!!

I couldn’t tell you who has or hasn’t like anything I post. I don’t care. I couldn’t handle being friends with you - oh @Lardlizard has posted again I have to like it ASAP or she’ll get a complex.

I dont know, I actually just had an argument with a “close friend” who always says “he is never on IG”, yet he always likes his homies’s posts (everything from selfies to tacky “inspiration” posts), but he never likes mine. Fine. The other day though I made a post congratulating him and his fiancé on getting engaged, how they are good people, meant for each other. I didnt tag them, and didnt expect him to react it. Yesterday I see he reposted several of his homies’s posts congratulating him, but not mine. That pissed me off. Social media is very much part of a lot of people’s daily lives, and if he cant be bothered to even acknowledge anything I post, even a congratulatory post, TO ME just means he doesnt care, which fine, you don’t care enough to. The signs are on the wall always, we try and make excuses for people (as I did with him for a while), but if you are active on social media, you notice who is engages with your posts, and who is isnt. If a good friend, who first of all lies about “never checking his IG”, cant bother to acknowledge what you post (especially if it’s life accomplishments, goals met etc), but likes other bs posts, then they just dont care, and there is an uneven give and take there.

you judgmental mfers who arent active on social media and think it’s lame, Im sure there are people who you’d be upset at is they dont text you back, or answer/return your calls, or other form of communication.

This is one of the damaging things about social media. The fakery of friendships and pretence that life is wonderful- look at the amazing activities I’m doing with my perfect children…
it gets too much for some people.

One of my fb pals constantly posted stuff about animal abuse and particularly the China dog meat trade, I had to completely unfollow her as it was affecting my mental health seeing all the awful things. She will well be wondering why I don’t like or comment on any of her photos or posts anymore- I don’t see anything now, by choice. Others I find relentlessly try hard and show offy, I unfollow them too.

If she’s meeting up with you in real life then that’s all that matters, stop focusing on the fake reality that is FB.

Noooo yanbu OP its petty when people do this, Most likely you have mildly pissed her off so this is her "revenge"

@MiamiJeweler - why resurrect a 2 year old thread FFS

Haha, just had this situation yesterday and I was googling if I was being a little bitch about it and I found this thread lol. There’s more to the story of course, the IG thing was just what made me just blow up 😂 🫠😒😩
