Uh oh. You really CAN see who unfriended you!

Apparently facebook accidentally made it so you can see who unfriended you if you have the new profile.

Yes and it's probably best not to look People have all sorts of reasons for unfriending, and it's too easy to make it personal, when it's not.

[Jengerbread88]

I honestly wouldn't notice if someone unfriended me, unless it was one of my closest friends. I have about 8 people I interact with on a regular basis. Other than that, I mostly just see people in my news feed. I suppose if I stopped seeing them show up, I might notice, but the news feed travels pretty quickly these days, so I really probably wouldn't.

I don't worry about it if someone does, but my mom has a friend who EVERY DAY goes and looks at her friend count. If it changes, she goes through and searches until she finds out who unfriended her. It's almost obsessive! Lol.

I go through and weed out my friends list about every 3-6 months. I just hope that none of those people are going to get upset now if they see me gone. I tend to keep people who I am close with now, or who I may need to get ahold of for school/family/etc. I delete people who I used to have classes/school with, or who I really don't talk to much anymore.

Who I was when I got my facebook in '06, is NOT who I am now. My connections have changed

I probably wouldn't notice and I don't really care to look..I didn't really unfriend anybody, but I made it so I didn't see their posts anymore

LOL except sometimes it is I've removed certain scrapping people (nobody here) for being...how do I put this...pushy, obnoxious, and spamming me with countless posts about joining their particular sites. If they take that personally, I can't help that

[rachaelsscraps]

uh-oh, now I need to think hard if I've unfriended anyone lately! lol. Don't want to insult them (especially since I really don't think I've unfriended anyone for personal reasons if at all...)

That stuff doesn't bother me. If someone unfriends me, they have a reason.

[scrapperjade]

Gosh. Facebook is like High School all over again. Blah!

I'm going to post here as a general comment. I "unfriended" almost all of my online scrap friends a few months ago and it wasn't personal. I simply wasn't active in the community that much anymore (I did it the same month I quit the last of my creative teams) and I didn't see that changing anytime soon. Obviously I still lurk here at SSD a bit , but for the most part I'm not active so it didn't seem to make sense to have 75 friends that I had never met on my fb account. I kept only actual people that I've met and a handful of scrappers that I've gotten to know personally through my past teams.

In regard to other people unfriending - if it was someone from high school I would assume they wanted to catch up but didn't need/desire an ongoing communication. I feel like that about 99% of the people I went to high school with - sure, tell me what you're doing now, but then I'm good - we don't need to chat again for 10 years. I think the only time I've been bothered by someone unfriending was when it was an IRL person - but even so, it was someone I only knew peripherally and I think I annoyed her.

Emmy- I've been culling my list as well...both IRL and online friends...trying to make things more manageable as to not take up my day feeling I have to keep reading what is going on with everyone. I just can't do it all. If anyone's offended, I'm sorry. But it's how I have to work it now.

I think it's normal to trim your f-list from time to time.

There were times when I accepted every request that came in (I'm wiser now) and even with ex-school mates and such, it was interesting to see what they were up to, but if I found out that I didn't have that much in common with them, I either hid them or (after some more time) unfriended them. I don't think I ever made anybody unhappy with it, because the indifference was mutual. I think some people also unfriended me, and I never gave it much thought (which is great considering that my default mood used to be touchy when I was younger).

It's just I think it's unhealthy (especially with younger users who tend to give more importance to such issues) to have the possibility to look who unfriended you - not that I tried. :-)

One option, for those who don't want to go so far as unfriending...Facebook now has a 'Restricted' list...the people on there will only see information that you make public...nothing that is just for Friends only. And they won't be able to see that you have put them on that list either.

Anyone know when my timeline is going to show up? I still can't see it.

It's supposed to roll out to everybody over the next two weeks.
Marla, where in OK are you?

[Leah]

Oh I wanna see! lol

How do I go look?

FYI - I just unfriended a bunch of people that were on my profile strictly for FV/CV, etc. Some were added through the zynga website as neighbors and since I don't play anymore, they're gone.
I did not intend to delete any fellow-scrappers, so if I did (which I don't think I did), please just let me know!

[Paula]

I've been thinking of deleting people on my friends list who I don't know IRL. But, I'm still in the thinking stage on that one. It's nothing personal, it's more to do with making my list manageable.
