? regarding FB

How do you know if someone "unfriended" you? I know that is not a word, but I don't know what else to call it.

I dunno but a while back there was a glitch in Facebook where I had a few friends disappear off of my list and then 2 days later reappear.

I was wondering the same thing. I don't know if they send you a notification because I have turned all mine off since I don't want to grow my garden or find out what cereal I am.

I was recently unfriended by a guy my sister was dating...really if you have a 100+ friends, I don't know why he had to do that.

ETA: I only know because she told me he unfriended her and when I went to look at my friends, he was gone.

You don't get a notification. They just go away. So if you're looking and you can't find them, that could be why.

I don't know either, I guess maybe people keep really good track of the # of friends they have....and notice if it's down.

I've never noticed being unfriended (though several people have just ignored my friend requests...haha)...but I don't think it's something you'd notice right away (especially if you have a LOT of friends), but like if someone you used to be friends with comments on a status of someone you're still friends with or something, and you get that update, it can draw to your attention that you haven't seen any updates, etc by that person in awhile, you know? And then a search of your friends will tell you if they've unfriended you. *sigh.

This.

And then when you to try to click on the link to their profile it's unclickable - which means you've been blocked.

It's sad, really...

In my particular case I noticed because this nestie and I have many friends in common and often comment on the same stuff. Now, when her name appears, it is gray- totally un-clickable. So, she has somehow protected her profile from me seeing her friends, friend requesting her, or sending her a message.

Honestly if we didn't often comment on the same stuff I would never have noticed- I have a lot of fb friends and I'm sure this particular person is not the first one on the planet to "de-friend" me.

Like I said before- to each his own. I KNOW I'm not everyone's cup of tea. Wink

I don't think you get a notification. You just look them up and then click delete friend. I had someone disappear from my list, but it did not send me anything.

This. How I noticed two drop off.

Ditto, you don't get a notification. But if you start seeing those little friend suggestions for someone you thought you were already friends with; that's likely a sign that they de-friended you.

You read my mind! I was wondering this too.
