Maybe it is but I've never got upset like this when I've been deleted by people in the circle there wasn't any need for the barrage of abuse from her

The day when Facebook replaced real life as the place people interact with friends etc was a sad day indeed. 'deleting' someone is not, nor ever should be of any relevance or note but somehow it is and I despair for those who actually care about such trivial things.

* Note, whilst I actively avoid Facebook, I appreciate others needing it to keep in touch with relatives etc, my issue is the behaviours it drives people to exhibit such as the OP and friend.
The idea that a medium of communication has replaced real life always amuses me.

You don't use it, well done. But do you use a phone to talk to your friends? Did that replace real life for people when phones were invented?

Do me a favour.

Clearly, A nerve has been hit. My phone replicates real life insomuch as I talk to my contacts just as I would if in person, if anything it's more personable as I can speak to many more people at any given time rather than forming a list of people I want to catch up with whilst I travel from one to another.

Facebook communicationn isn't the problem, but 'likes' and deleting people have no reflection on reality or real relationships but unfortunately a whole raft of people see them as being an essential part of managing friendships. I would venture that it drives unhappiness was insecurity based on people concerning themselves with such trivial matters constantly.

I can see many others referencing the ridiculousness of the situation as described by the OP which gives me a little faith in humanity!

Completely agree with you. It's a weird passive and also aggressive way of managing and indeed manipulating relationships but from a rather detached position.
Incredibly common among angsty teens, not so much mature adults..

No nerve has been hit, just offering an opinion which you seem to be out of touch with. That's okay, not everyone has to understand everything.

You said Facebook had replaced real life, I was commenting that this isnt't the case and the fact that you actively avoid the platform suggests you're poorly placed to over an educated or informed opinion on the matter.

When a friend I'd known for many years (well before FB) suddenly accused me of all kinds of nonsense on FB and wouldn't explain why, I just "unfriended" him. I didn't explain why, as it would have been obvious. He's now living in Australia so I don't see him socially in any case.
