When you get unfriended?

Do you get upset? Does it bother you if they don't tell you why?

Just wondering, this is kind of came up after I read another topic.

    not particularly, unless i was friends with the person. I delete people all the time if we never talk or if they're annoying.

    I think it's their loss if they unfriend you, unless you've done something to them. Then maybe you need to re-evaluate your behavior or what you say. IJS

    Honestly I have nevet noticed if I have been unfriended. If it was one of my bestest MFP friends though it might bother me, but I am here for me only so I just do what I do and thats all that matters.

    I'll admit it does bother me, but oh well. It's one thing I don't like about the "friend" format and terminology. I much prefer a twitter like thing of following and unfollowing feeds and posts. I never take it personally if I'm "unfollowed," but I do take it personally if I'm "unfriended." It wouldn't work as well for MFP I suppose but in general, yeah.

    You make a good point. I bet if it was following it would be a lot less of an issue, because it just sounds worse "unfriending"..

    Never thought about that before.

    i am guilty of deleting people on here who don't log in for days at a time. I'm here to change my life and become my best me, and to support others who are committed as much as i am! i

    That's funny. I just finished posting a very nice message on my profile letting people know I was deleting some folks monday nite. I post supportive comments everyday and they have never acknowledged my effort or commented on my status. Never a pm. EEH... It's just they're picture on my stuff. So, I feel a little bad for doing it, but, not bad enough to not do it. I hope I don't hurt anyones feelings. That's not my intentions. But I think we just have diffrent expectations.

    If people have unfriended me, I haven't noticed. It would sting a bit, but really, it just means you're not a good fit for that person.

    I can't say i've ever noticed if i've been unfriended. There are a few people i use to be friends with but now am not but i can't remember if I unfriended them or vise versa. Quite frankly I don't care.

    I delete people all the time, People love to add me and then never not once do they comment on anything. Whats the point? as much as i love having a long list of unsupportive friends...(heavy on the sarcasm!)

    I'm the same way, I accept most friend requests. I also initiate friend requests. But if I am the only one making the comments and being supportive and getting nothing in return then I have no problems deleting someone. I hope they dont take it personally, but I want support to buddies! This is a long tough journey, I dont want to talk to a wall the whole time :noway:

    It bothers me. I have that big "WHY?" stuck in my head for little while. I'm supporting my *kitten* off over here. I log in a LOT and I am writing small notes of encouragement to my friends that log exercise/ progresses. I like when I get 18 "good work" comments after a workout...........and so I do the same to others.
    Also, when people reach their goals.........is it 'goodbye suckers'?? I don't know what I'm going to do when I reach my goals....................probably stick around anyway. I'm afflicted.

    I delete people if they don't log in for a few days so I don't think they even notice.

    at first yes, but we all have our own reasons. Especially on this site, Some people are in different stages of weightloss.

    Na- if I get deleted from FB I do, but this is a weight loss website. I am here to lose weight not make friends (even though I have made a few *friends* here.)

    I cry for about 10 minutes and then lament the insanity that is this world before figuring out I really don't care.

    I most likely wouldn't even notice if I was unfriended.
