Dilemma! Awkward unfriending with mutual friends

man up

just do it. if they ask, tell them why. if anyone else asks, they're paying way too much attention to the lives of others on the interwebs.

I like this response. Until I get the nerve to do it myself I "hide" their comments. Do they know? I just hate someone always correcting MY OPINION. That is why it is an opinion - and everyone gets one. Granted some people probably DO actually know everything and often way more than I do, but I still have a right to my opinion!

Yes, it is awkward, but it will go away after a while. Hide them until then.

I only keep people around that are supportive and I can support...I cherish each one of my friends!!! I am gonna sleep on it...and act tomorrow!

Sounds like a good plan. What is the point of having so many friends that you wouldn't notice if you were unfriended by someone? For me, I like to get to know my friends and encourage them and learn a little about them. It is hard to follow and encourage someone if you don't even take the time to learn a little bit about them and their goals. Seems pointless to have friends on here if you really wouldn't know if you were defriended or not. Especially by friends that post daily.

^^^ I like it!!

Honestly, He would be gone in an instant if I was you. This isn't high school where you need a bunch of mutual friends and you do not need the added drama/negativity from that particular person. We are all here as a support system. If he thrives on this negativity, maybe he needs to go on another site and down on others. Continue to do what you are doing and if he replies why, just tell him the truth that his negativity is the reason why he got kicked off.

but i like paying attention to you...member i put the dollar in your cup?

Do you kow this person personally??? This is not FB where the people on our friends' list are our friends/family/acquaintances that we personally know........Delete him/her and who cares whether you have mutual friends or not......

For myself, MFP is simply a tool to use to help you lose weight/fat and/or maintain a much healthier lifestyle.....that is the main purpose behind MFP.....the friends on MFP are there to support, encourage and advise if asked for as well as to give you reminders every now and then about taking responsibility and being more accountable......that is all.....if there are those on your friends' list that aren't doing any of this and continuing to bring you down, why keep them around??

Friend deleted...she knew it was her....not sure why so negative towards me....BUT....drama over. I am a strong chick and a lot of woman HATE me.....its ok. DONE!

She's hating on you because she's jealous of your back LOL....nice work!

Awesome! From your original post, it sounded like you knew what you needed/wanted to do. I would have done it also, but depending on the situation I probably would have sent them a message- no hard feelings, but I believe we are having a personality conflict and the best resolution for me is to remove you.
The only reason I say this is because they may not know what an a55 they are being. I am not saying engage in a debate over it, just tell them in a nice way they are being a sh1t might make them conscious of it so you save someone else from being miserable.

Love this!

:ohwell: This kinda upsets me, because I know you. You are very outspoken and very verbal on your status updates, but hey....that is YOU. We are all different. For someone to constantly throw out negative things is pretty wrong on all levels...especially when you are supposed to be *pals* on here. We are ALL on here for the support....and yes, this is not a popularity contest, so SC...I'm assuming you took care of this problem, but don't be upset about it, just do the right thing and move forward.

I will however also add that did you try to talk to this person and tell him/her how upset this was making you first? If the answer is yes and they still do the negative stuff...well....it is best to let them go. (*(*( hugs )*)*) You got this I'm sure.
