Reconnecting with people that you lost contact with decades ago. If you were such good friends, you wouldnt of lost contact. I found it to be a huge waste of time. Not to mention we found out how we were being used by them to make profit. Yanked it like starting a mower! Havent missed it.

OP's original post is one of the reasons why I'm not on Facebook. It hurts like mad knowing you aren't invited to someone's party when you thought you and them were decent friends. Then everyone posts about it, making you feel even more excluded.

I'm so glad I never opened a Facebook account.

I use FaceBook only to access private groups. And I use my middle name, not my first name as my moniker. I do not want most people to see what my interests, hobbies are. I have a few health issues and are part of private groups discussing such. My co-workers, friends and neighbors do not need to see any of this..

I could open a second FaceBook using my full, legal name...but I do not want to see, or hear about people who feel left out or ignored by other members of the women's clubs and organizations of which I am involved.

Typically I know these people due to charity work, or joining the group to do a craft such as beading, or to play bridge. If I am invited to their party and want to go, Great! If they do not extend an invite to me, well...guess what? No invite to my parties then, either.

But I at least have the decorum not to discuss it in their presence...it is a pet peave of mine when women do this...Tacky, Tacky, Tacky.....

But it really troubles me to see supposedly grown, fully mature adult females purposefully hurt their friends and acquaintances by posting this sort of stuff.

Truly Passive-Agressive all the way...
