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

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

Your friend IS definitely seeing your posts. This is a case of "familiarity breeding contempt". She finds the attention you seek/get on social media, annoying or is jealous.

Some of my closest friends, and my own boyfriend... for some reason their posts never show on my FB feed. I have to search for them, and go directly to their page to see them.
It is annoying, and makes me wonder what else I have missed from other people. But I don't have the time or patience to search for everyone.
It is probably due to some algorithm thing.

Time to ditch the social media.

Or at least she was 3 years ago.

Ur no friend at all..

My partner and best friend never show up on my feed, I have to go find them both.
End result - if I havent stalked them in a month I havent liked anything of theirs in a month.
I talk to my partner every day and my mate at least twice a week.

Facebook means nothing, it's not real life.

To the person saying "grow up" - in a completely childish and so immature it's cringey matter. Children deserve better examples. Cringe, cringe, cringe. Takes no emotional maturity and zero emotional regulation to bark "grow up"....just the worst example.

AttentionDeficitAndScrewed · 05/12/2023 14:36

Maybe she doesn't because she thinks it's banal if she talks about this stuff to you in real life. So for.example I often don't send birthday wishes on group chats if I've spoken to the person on the phone or in person..similarly if someone has mentioned something to me in real.life I probably wouldn't comment again on social media. One of my best friends is on the same school parents group as I am and I don't reply to her messages usually because if I wanted to say something I would do it privately. Maybe your friend only comments on or likes posts of people she doesn't know well.

And I totally ignore dh's messages in any group chats. Never respond to them. It would seem weird.

This is why I'm not on FB or on WhatsApp, and never have been.

Just another eg of how toxic social media is. It causes so much petty offence and upset.

Do you regret blocking them now? I know a lot of people regret taking the jab. My mother thanks me every day for warning her about the side effects.
