An old friend of mine i've known since high school dropped of facebook three months ago. I was a little surprised but hey i figured she'd grown tired of the whole thing and moved on. Well this morrning I meet up with my dad for lunch and he starts talking about my life and how he wishes i could find soemone. I let him know that i think the same way but point out most of my female friends are either married or nto otherwise avalible. He then sugests my old friend from high school. I pointed out she'd dropped off facebook and I had no other way of getting in touch. Dad looked puzzled and told me she was still on and showed me on his ipad. She blocked me totaly so I can't even talk to her. I'm still confused as to why. The last thing I did with her was to compliment her on her new haircut, a comment she liked, and wish her good luck on her trip to hati. Next thing I know she's gone.

The only think that I could suggest would be to look up her phone number and try to ask her what you did wrong.

If you blocked you then it sounds like she was not really that interested in being your friend. I don't know...

You sure it was not things you were posting or that she deactivated her old account and made a new one.

Her account is the same one from before.

If I posted something she objected to I have no clue what it could be. I try to stay out of politicis or religion, the only picture any friend of mines ever objected as me holding a gun at the WWII museum that the museum taged me.

Only other advice would be to try to discuss it with her.

that's happened to me before. i was fbing and texting a guy then he suddenly blocked me on both (he has a smartphone so can block my dumb-phone) and refuses to speak to me.

i went thru every single conversation analyzing what i could have said wrong/in the wrong way and there was nothing that was obvious. of course, trying to ask him what i did wrong makes me look creepy, even if what i did before didn't.


conclusion? NTs are weird, crazy weird. crazy insane weird.

How well did you get on with her? Did you talk to her much before she blocked you?

We got on fine, i honestly can only remmeber one time she got mad at me but that was years ago and it was a misunderstanding on her part. I was a friend but since she lived several hours away didn't get to see her often. We talked every now and then.

I had a girl who I went to Jr high and high school with do the same thing. She acted like my friend and one day just removed me. Then I went to re-add her and the followed suit like nothing was wrong.

Next I went to look up her e-mail address only to find that I could not find her.

Little did I also know that she bragged out it to her ex-boyfriend right on his timeline too.

People act weird on Facebook, also like cowards. Someone was even blocked for asking someone why she was removed as a friend only to find herself blocked for even asking.

My old school mates have removed me and one of my old teachers. Someone I know at one of my autism groups who is the leader removed me and I re added him thinking it was some mistake but he didn't accept my friends request. He said he was cleaning off his list when I asked him about it in person.

What was your the girl bragging about summer twilight?

I've had the exact same thing from two people recently, one of whom I was good friends with and hadn't even spoken to before she deleted me. No idea why or what's going on and I hate it. I thought about coming off Facebook to avoid situations like this but the internet is basically my social life :/

That's odd. Some people are just douchebags towards Aspies on Facebook, and their opinions of us tend to change if they don't speak to us in a while. But if you had talked to her recently that's a bit bizarre. Of course some people will also take advantage of the fact we don't always pick up on things when they're a bit off and act friendly to us because somehow that's funny to them. But it doesn't sound like she was doing that.

I think, as a few other people have said, that people on Facebook are just weird. I've had people who were my friends, or at least acquaintances, randomly message me on Facebook to hurl abuse at me. Maybe it makes them feel big or something.

Maybe NTs/normal people can also only handle only so much social input? But there definitely seems to be some fuss to be made when people unfriend you or block you. Apparently I was unfriended but I continued messaging the person, only to get a friend request later again. That is when I realised I was not on the friend list.

I just feel sorry for kids on facebook, because they will say things now and when your employer looks at your profile in the future and see what kind of person you were. Nobody is interested in who you are then in that time frame. :|

She wrote: "Is Summer a facebook friend of your's? I have her blocked on mine." (In paraphrase)

This was right on her on his wall for the whole world to see.

I happened to see it because I have two facebook accounts and I was on the other one and was looking at her ex-boyfriend's wall since he and I used to be friends for a while. That was when I happened to see it.

NT's behave badly towards each other on Facebook too.

Social media has created this idea that you can behave cowardly online and it's ok. It's very annoying.

Lol:

About 10 years ago, I had lived with two roommates up until this time. While I was there, I did several things that they did not approve of which were bad choices.

1. I did not manage my money very well and wrote several bad checks. Many of them were on utility bills. They also knew that I had not money and kept expecting me to write bad checks and then would yell at me for ruining their credit.
2. I also never told them that I had an official out of date diagnosis of PDD NOS back them
3. I was several years younger than they were and was inexperienced of living my own and they did not like it.
4. I did not know how to mow the lawn and they did not teach me.

I tried to befriend one of them on FB and even wrote an apology to her too. Without telling me anything, she just automatically blocked me and that was it.
