Ok so last night i'm on facebook and a friend of mine posts a picture of her new haricut. I write that it "looks nice" and log off and get dinner. Later that night I find she unfriended me. Did I say something wrong? I've been having problems with some of my friends acting odd at similar comment and either deleating them.

It could have been for the comment, it could have been for something else.

I have stopped trying to figure out why people do the things they do. Saves me alot of headache.

For some people, they may have friended you on Facebook, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're okay with you commenting on stuff they post.
Like, it seems awkward if you do it. So, they'll unfriend you, because they don't want you to comment on anything else.
Something like that.
Don't take it personally or anything. Trust me, it's not worth asking them about it either.
Facebook isn't that serious of a place.

Seriously, people are like that? Then what is the point of friending them if you don't want comments. I comment on almost everything and all at once. I don't always check my facebook in real time so I see a lot of stuff. My sister once said she got 8 status notifications from me.

That in and of itself was not wrong. Commenting "looks nice" on a friends photo, in itself, isn't a problem.

Likely, it was something else that caused this.

1. Do you know her well, or are you just a stranger to her?
2. She could be thinking that you were stalking her photo album.
3. Did you do anything to creep her out before, and this was the last straw?

What minervx wrote comes into it more than what I'm about to, but I wonder if your friend had any reason at all to believe you were being sarcastic?

Have you contacted her before? She might only want you as a number on her list of friends, and isn't interested in talking to you. This is a big reason I avoid Facebook. I can't fathom why anyone would want to add you as a friend and not speak to you.

Apart from the above reasons, could she have posted as she didn't like it? It probably is that she doesn't know you that well and didn't feel comfortable with you commenting and didn't really realise you were viewing everything she posted.

You didn't do anything wrong, mate. NTs can be weird sometimes. I'd thought commenting on someone's photo is what people do on Facebook, I mean, it's a social website. If I didn't want people commenting on my photos then I wouldn't have put a photo of me up on Facebook in the first place. People are bound to comment - that's what the little box under the photo what says ''write a comment'' is for. I see little quick comments like that wrote under people's photos all the time. My brother's friend had a photo of her new puppy on Facebook, and somebody put ''so cute'' and that's it. Wasn't a problem.

I can't make heads or tails out of it. Shes been a friend of mine since 1995 and I didn't write any coments to her since the middle of last may. I've decided that If shes so neurotic that something like that would upset her than i'm probably better off without being in regular contact with her. I have better things to do that worry about some touchy NT's overreaction to a compliment. I do wish these things came with a manual.
