i've never unfriending any one before, but have had people unfriend me. There's someone who is a good person which i've been friends with for about a year on a site. recently, we had a debate, and it seems they have taken it personal and is ignoring me. i tried repeatedly to reach out to this person, but they ignore me.

i'm not the type of person that needs or wants a lot of friends, but i do value reciprocation in friendship online. this person is a good person who gets along with everyone else on the site. if i just leave it as is and have them has friends; it's seems likely they will ignore me in the future.

what are your experiences with unfriending online friends? thanks

Why not just continue as before, interacting in good faith and friendship with the others. Your unhappy online friend might come around on her own. What do think you would be accomplishing by unfriending her? I can't think of a thing.

You have to give it time before you reach out. Time usually heals all wounds. Don't reach out when a person is still angry. If you would have let it be a good chance they would be back when they realized what they were missing.

thanks siliban. that's exactly what i've been thinking for the past two and half months. it's only now after multiple times of trying to communicate with them that i feel like unfriending them. for once in my life silibran, i want people to know that i'm not afraid to remove friends. what's your experience with managing friends?

so what would you do right now if you were me? let it be as is, and if they do come around that's cool if not then what?

Do you know this person in real life? If not, then I don't understand the dilemma of unfriending a person who is essentially an internet stranger. Unfriend them or don't unfriend them. The outcome will be the same in both scenarios.

Your actions can't make the other person interact with you if they no longer wish to have contact.

well, they'll be still in the group and on the site just off my friends list. but i get that you want me to keep them as a friend as opposed to unfriending them. thanks
