"friends" who love drama

Stephb1986_2

Your friend needs to give her head a wobble. How would she like it if this other person who you de friended had done the same to her??

Let her get on with it they all deserve eachother. You need to find some new friends.

I hate facebook I'm on it but I'm in groups for wedding things etc I don't really communicate with people on there. Like I said last night which is rare for me I don't know why it's called facebook it should be called, Moanbook, Bragbook or Twofacebook. That is all that goes on on there! Sick of everyone's dramas all the time!!

You're not being unreasonable at all, seems you are the only sane one amongst your friends!

seriously your friends sound like freakish drama queens, especially your best friend. I would echo what others have said here - forget the lot of them and find nicer mates.

I deleted over 600 people from my facebook just a few months ago.. I don't give a flying hoot who took issue with it.. it is a toy.. same as here.. a place I can communicate with likeminded grown ups (supposedly).. seeing as I rarely see anyone IRL. I upset a whole bunch of people by leaving a couple of groups.. so i deleted everyone from said groups too.. more drama.. My life (and my newsfeed) are now empty of their hysteria.. it is bliss!!

Delete her too and move on.. life is way to short to be hung up on a bit of playgroup foot stamping.

I think calling FB stupid names is ridiculous, same as the childish drama that goes on about it.. it is like any other forum or networking group and even real life groups except you have a greater pool of freaks and wierdos to pick from, some people you like and keep in your life and others you sack off because they are not sane in many cases.. Take what you want from it and leave what you don't.. that said I ended up with my OH from FB so maybe that says it all LMAO!!

She sounds like a complete drama queen. She obviously values the other friendship more highly then yours. I wouldn't bother contacting her (unless you really have to) and that way you can leave other people to deal with her hissy fits By the sounds of it the so called friendship really isn't worth the hassle and has run it's course.

I deactivated my facebook account a few weeks back too! I found it a pathetic place with more trolls than the Moneysavers Arms! I dont miss it one bit. mainly because of childish people like you and your friends.

If you de-friend someone on Facebook you are saying that you don't want to be their friend. You're not just saying that on Facebook, you're saying that full stop.
If you didn't mean to make such a statement (i.e. you meant only on Facebook) then I believe you have got it wrong.
If you did mean to make such a statement (which is fair enough, given that she was out of order to you) then you have got to accept that there would be consequences to that. It does put mutual friends in a difficult position. It could, potentially, split a friendship group down the middle.
I think if this is the case then you need to be talking to your friends and explaining what you have done and why.

But you can't just go on thinking everything would carry on as normal.

you see, thats where, in my opinion, Facebook is all wrong.

I don't have my best friends on facebook, because we've never added each other. We speak to each other in real life. I have old colleagues, some mutual friends etc, but as I rarely post anything on their walls, I don't think anyone would be likely to take mahooosive offence if I deleted them. I doubt I'd even notice of one of them deleted me :rotfl:.


I would think everything in real life was going to carry on as normal if someone deleted me/I deleted them on facebook - even family members. Because, you know, facebook isn't real life. I'm not saying it can't be a reflection of real life for some people, but for others like me, its really really not, and while there are folk all over the world using facebook in various ways, I think its completely pointless falling out with friends over facebook or its contents.

My first thought was it's the sort of saga my 9 yo comes home telling me about (just in the playground, not on facebook)-lol.

But really, you deleted this woman 2 years ago and your friend throws a strop about it at Christmas, which was less than 2 months ago?

I find the easiest way to get rid of people on facebook is to say you only keep people on that you 'interact' with on there and don't 'interact' with people who want shut of.:D

I have facebook, I go on probably once every few month...I have 'friends' whose lives are lived on facebook like some reality soap...everything they do everyday is tagged on facebook....go to playgroup tag...have dinner...tag....go to shops tag...BORING! There is a particular group of friends who I have distanced myself from who are in late 40's/early 50's and live their lives like off sex and the city...seem in direct competition about who can portray they do the most and have the most exciting life than anyone else. One whose husband complained to me he was unhappy because he hardly sees her as shes always out...another who moved a man in to live with her and then cheated on him weekend after....another who after splitting from husband and found out he visited a brothel then paid a male upperclass prostitute to sleep with her then bragged about him staying over and giving her a freebie...yes none of this though made it on facebook!

Facebook in my opinion is for people who still think they are kids or people who want to show how happy they are when really they are unhappy. I don't have the most exciting life...i'm a single working mum but i'm happy and don't feel the need to prove I have some sort of amazing life, better than someone elses on facebook.

Rant over lol...

I think their are people in RL and people on FB who look to take/cause offence. I am not friends with any of those kinds of people in RL so I certainly wouldn't have them on FB. I only have about 60 family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances on FB and I can honestly say I have never seen a cross word or nasty post on my feed.

Life is too short to behave that way online, if you have a problem with someone "virtual" reality is not the medium to deal with it in. Ring them, call round, speak to them, sort it out, and leave the FB strops to silly teenagers.
