I have yet to go anywhere near that place. I've heard mainly bad things about it, rarely any good. If people give me a link and it notes that I'm going to Facebook, I go back and explain to the person that I will not have anything to do with it. I can't even guess how many people have pushed me to join and fussed at me because I wouldn't do it.
It still sounds like a terrible place to me, with murders, assaults, and harassment (physical, emotional, etc.).
Here are Jimmy's 2014 suggested reasons to unfriend Facebook "friends":
You post too much
You spell-check too little
You won’t shut up about: politics, your kids, how you slept last night, how your workout went, what traffic was like, how the weather is, what Frozen character you are
You tag people you claim to love in unflattering photos where they look terrible
Too many photos of your: food, body, vacation, feet, feet on vacation
Your #TBT makes me want to #ThrowupThursday
You ruin every show before we watch it
You ask questions that can be Googled
You’re on so much — how do you still have a job?
We don’t want to play Bejeweled Blitz or Words With Friends
I only delete people who are Inactive and never chat with at all.
Yeah, basically this.
I've had lots of people u friend me, mostly because I guess they've lost contact. A select few have gotten mad at me.
I used to rarely u friend people, but recently I deleted about 15 percent of my friends list because they hadn't spoken, texted, seen, commented or liked anything on my Facebook feed, or communicated with me at all in over three years. If I see them again, they're welcome to add me back.
I will note that people who clean out their friends list do tend to be somewhat narcissistic from my observations (I'm not denying it in myself either though 😀.)
I'm just asking because Facebook doesn't let you know when someone unfriends you. As foe me, I've only been unfriended by people I don't really keep in contact with anyway. I've never asked, but one did tell me he did it because he was making his friends list only family members or close friends. Just out of curiosity, do you ever ask why you were unfriended?
I don't have FB anymore but when I did, I had 2 people ask why I unfriended them. I think if a person unfriends you, then it's best to let it roll off your back and move on.
Confronting the other person to ask why is not going to make you look better.
And if I were the one who got unfriended, I may have raised my eyebrows (if I even noticed at all) but no way would I plead my case or ask why the other party dropped me.
Why make myself look pathetic or hard-up for friendship?

About a year ago, someone did this to me.
In early to mid December, her posts stopped appearing, but when no post appeared on the January 5 anniversary date of her brother's death, I knew she had blocked me from seeing her posts, but did not unfriend me.
What was strange, this old gal sent me a Christmas card image through the Facebook private messaging system to wish me a happy holiday.
I was slow to realize she had blocked me, but once I did realize it, I unfriended and blocked her.
No I don't ask them. If it is someone close to me then I should know the reason. If they are not close then I really don't care. I just had a niece unfriend me and I know exactly why…her loss, lol.

Sir, I've looked a bit at your posting history, you seem a bit like Larry Winget, who calls himself The Pitbull of Personal Development, I admire his viewpoints, and can agree with many of yours!
