super offensive? I think not. I’ve been on both sides, I admit it’s a bit shocking at first when I learned I was unfriended. But then I stop and think about my relationship with this particular person that i hardly see, meet, or even talk to, i feel it’s the perfectly right thing to do. Why “hide” them and live a lie when you can delete them from your list like a real man? after all, it’s just FB. It’s not real life.
to me, we do a lot of things for the sake of appearance which is not good for self-esteem at all. i can guarantee you your life will be better after weeding those so-called friends from your list. or i just don’t care that much about FB anymore. I keep wondering when this passing fad will disappear.

[...] Are any of my Facebook friends sick of reading about my kid? If you are, please just hide me, don’t unfriend me—that’s just rude. Filed Under: Kids/Motherhood Tagged With: [...]

I’m sorry but there is always an occasion for unfriending someone. Trust, when you’re in the situation you know. Not all people come off at face-valure up-front and if you respect your privacy you’ll unfriend.

I unfriended a bunch of people I didn’t know a few months back because frankly, it creeped me out that they were there and I didn’t really know them. It was nothing personal against them but felt more comfortable doing that. Hopefully, nooone’s feelings were too hurt!

I’m with Sherry on this one. I’ve unfriended people, as they have me. Is it really that offending to you, though? I mean, like Sherry said – if it’s someone you talk to regularly, sure I can see why “hide” would be a better option. But if it’s some random person you went to high school with, do you really care? I don’t. Maybe that’s just me…

I totally agree! I use HIDE a lot.

And to address the concerns of above commenters – you can go into your FB privacy settings and set your settings to exclude certain people from seeing what you post.

My neighbor unfriended me. And then called and asked me if my daughter to babysit.
I was SOOOOO tempted to say, “lemme check. I’ll post it on your fb wall if she can do it or not.” HA HA HA

I have unfriended people in the past. Before I knew about the hide feature.

But now I’m wondering…..Emily….have YOU unfriended ME? LOL
