I just deleted 68 friends on facebook...

Post Reply New Topic

I didn't want to see pictures of happy couples anymore in my news feed. It's not their fault, only my own, but it is making me feel worse...

I always delete things from my newsfeed I dont want to see. After all, what is thepoint of going to facebook if it isnt tailored to individual needs? I find it a bit uninteresting anyway, not alot happens on it really. WP is way better.

I understand what you mean, it happens to me when I'm walking on the streets and you see all the couples kissing and grabbing hands and all that stuff. for fcbk I use the hide button frequently, I dislike fcbk but I have to maintain the social relationships with other people.

I know how you feel-in real life I hate seeing to-reminds me I am alone-even when people start talking to me telling me what they and the wife/gf/bf did-oh we did this and we did that etc etc etc-just reminds me I have no body that I can do things with.

Yeah, that's very annoying.

68!?

i have only 12 people on my list... four of them are my children... and one is my dog.

I did the same with a bunch of friends. Got sick of their BS about being so happy and so in love, and seeing pictures of all the trips they take, and their new homes. f**k them for rubbing that s**t in our faces, and being so goddamn ostentatious about it. It's one thing to be happy. Must we broadcast it to the world?

So I say, good for your. f**k 'em!

I'm personally very offended by happy couples, but more so my ex-best friend who rubbed in my face that she won the man I love. The man I love is ALL she has now. She lost me, three of her other friends, and I'm sure also her husband when he returns from wherever he really is. Ugh, it's disgusting to see people rub their relationship in your face. I love that man and she treats him like dirt, yet he loves her? What is this?

So, I did the same thing you did; I deleted the guilty parties.

I understand the frustration, but this was a very anti-social act that won't do good.

My solution was using facebook much less.

If I disintegrated 68 friends on facebook, that would be alienating everyone I know!

The things people do for love (or lack)

You can hide people from your newsfeed, so that you remain friends, but aren't subjected to their postings. I've done this with people who like Facebook games a little too much.

I don't hide people on FB. If I don't like the things you post, I delete you.

Duly noted. Hopefully, I remain on your list.

I don't hide most people. It's just a handy feature for those who have Farmville, CafeWorld, and 12 different pet games that eat up the newsfeed.

You've remained. lol

I do play some of the games, but I don't post much of the stuff on the newsfeed. Even when I do post, I tend to delete them after a few hours.

I don't like them junking up my wall.

If I were to delete everyone based on how much they flirt or their relationship status Id end up with 0 "friends" (since I already have none irl, only facebook "friends")

Sour grapes = hawt.
