About year ago, a girl who I was friends with on Facebook deleted me, most probably because I didn't bother to say thank you after she wrote up a happy birthday message on my wall. There were others that wished me a happy birthday on FB as well but I never responded to them either because, well...I thought it was just pointless because nothing would ever happen with them. I wasn't interested in her romantically, but I was abit upset when she deleted me. She was part of the group of people who I took my Graphic Design trade school course with and she reminded of the people who backstabbed me. She didn't stab me, but I didn't see myself going anywhere with her in the friendship so I didn't bother saying thank you.

I think it's because I had not yet gotten over how those backstabbers turned the tables on me so I was still grumpy over it and didn't want to communicate with anyone that reminded me of those times. I actually made new better friends over the year and I'm alot happier. Do most people not want to re-add someone as a friend who they already deleted once? I feel pretty guilty cuz she used the Facebook Friend Recommendation thingy on me to add someone else she knew I got along with (who I still have on FB) and I was just a jerk not replying to her happy birthday message. Do you think she'll even remember why she deleted me a year ago? What do you guys think?

IMO, that's a petty reason to delete someone from Facebook. I'm surprised when people reply to my birthday wishes to them individually I certainly don't expect it Some people have hundreds of friends and get a lot of wishes.

My friends list is on the smaller side. I usually like the wishes and post a "thank you all for the birthday wishes" post towards the end of my birthday

I wouldn't feel guilty about the mutual friend I had a falling out with a friend of mine and we're no longer Facebook friends I had "introduced" her to some of my friends I thought she had common interests with One of those friends is a close friend of mine, I don't know if he's still friends with her He does know about the falling out I didn't even mention it to the other friends of mine I'd introduced her to And I don't care if she's still friends with them as long as she doesn't try to turn them against me

What do you care? You said yourself that she reminded you of the people that backstabbed you, and you didn't see that friendship going anywhere. Most people that delete you will not add you on again. You need to just forget about this and move on.

It's facebook. And she doesn't sound like a real friend. Forget about it already.

You are making an assumption as to the reason she deleted you. You don't really know the reason. Sometimes people delete "friends" because they haven't heard from them in a while. Sometimes they just take themselves off Facebook. There are as many reasons people delete as there are people in the world. Who knows? Who cares?

It's Facebook for crying aloud. Not real life. Just Facebook. Forget about it.

To be honest, you sound like a fairweather friend. You not even wanting to say thank you because you don't see the friendship going anywhere(like sex?). That sounds really rude and inconsiderate. Maybe she deleted you because of that!?
