Woman likes every single thing I post on FB

[Siestamama]

This is a bit of a wierd complaint! 🙈 But I have an acquaintance (not friend, we only met through an online social circle) who I accepted a friend request from on Facebook 2 years ago. Anyway long story short, she likes every SINGLE post, picture or comment I put up on my Facebook page and also now on my business page. If she hasn’t been online in a few days she painstakingly goes through all the posts of mine she missed and likes them all and/or adds these comments which are a lot like small talk - meaningless and surface level but trying to be polite? I don’t like anything she posts in contrast as honestly none of it interests me and I feel like we have NOTHING in common. Right at the start of this I mentioned how I wanted to have kids and settle down with my new partner (now husband) and she gave me her unsolicited opinion about how she didn’t think that was a good idea as I’m ‘too much of a free spirit’ (whatever that means 🤨). I told her it wasn’t up to her and I didn’t welcome her unwarranted opinion, ever since then she’s been doing this wierd overcompensating such as liking all my shit on Facebook daily 😂 I stopped being annoyed by her comment two years ago. But it just feels awkward every time I see all her excessive interactions! However, I feel like unfriending her or telling her to stop liking all my posts would be unnecessary and over the top. Anyone had anything similar?? She’s 55 and I think her husband is not in the picture? I’m 38 and married.

I think if you publically upload information be it pictures or messages, you have to expect people whom you aren't close to can easily access it. I know it's annoying but that's the downside of social media.

Is it me I bet it is im a prolific "liker " 😄not for any sinister reason than I like the post . If it is unnerving you just put me them on an aquantance list .

Although in not 55 so...

Just unfriend her if it’s bugging you <shrug>
I get that it can be irritating though, you start to look out for their ‘blue thumb’ after a while, don’t you ? 😂

This is very much a self-inflicted problem.

Set up an audience that excludes her.

I doubt she painstakingly goes through your posts. More the algorithm serves them up to her based on behaviour.

My mum is like this. I can tell she's been online after I've posted something like holiday pictures as all of a sudden I'll have 50 likes 🤣

There are some people who appear in my feed a lot so I automatically end up liking a lot of their posts but it's definitely weird that she likes all of your comments...

I've experienced this with a couple of people over the years (excessive interaction/unsolicited advice) and ended up blocking them both. How likely is it you will ever have to see her? You also have the option of limiting what she can see if you don't want to unfriend or block.

Just hide your posts from her

If you post stuff on social media you can't then complain when people interact with it 😂

If it's annoying you, and she's just an acquaintance, unfriend her

I thought her comment that you were a “free spirit” was odd enough when she doesn’t know you. She is an odd-ball. Either block her or ignore it.

Oh 😂

I think you’re probably right about the algorithm 👍 Facebook being awkward! 😂

Seriously though just put her on a list so she can't see you.

Not sure you've had helpful responses so far OP.. I can understand there is a sense of uncomfortableness when strangers seek you out. Yes, SM is about being 'out there' - but Facebook isn't Twitter/X and there are different levels of intimacy on these platforms..
I would unfriend - it might go against your 'too harsh' instincts but if you're uncomfortable listen to that feeling and act on it..

Go into your profile and tap the three buttons bit on your status update. You can fix your post to be visible to 'everyone except ...'. Add her name. Job done, you don't even have to unfriend her.

I’ve just done this! Didn’t even know about the acquaintance list 👍 thanks

Thankyou - the thing is I do see her occasionally if I meet up with other people for a virtual chat, I don’t want to be mean either or have awkwardness in my group that has good vibes normally. Also she seems lonely/bored without many Facebook friends which is why I think she’s liking everything. But daily is a bit much! 😂 I’ve now put her on the acquaintance list so she won’t get my new posts in her feed. You’re right, I’m considering unfriending..

Put her on a limited profile so she can't see the new things you post. They'll be the end of it!

Same and Facebook has a odd algorithm that sometimes shows days old posts first so I end up looking like a stalker!

OP can you no just adjust you friends list so when you post you post to a specific audience? I do this a lot as my work colleagues do no need to hear all my ramblings about gym
