[quote=Anonymous]I have a longtime friend (20 years) who recently sort of de-friended me on Facebook.  She didn't completely de-friend me, but she is a very active FB user and she used to post stuff several times a week, but then I realized that she hasn't posted anything for a month.  I am 99% sure she is still very active on FB but made lists and put me in the "acquaintance" category.  I noticed that I can no longer see any of her mobile upload photos.  She recently took a fun trip and it was odd to me that she didn't post any photos.  It turns out, of course she posted photos, but I cannot see them.  Should I make her an "acquaintance", too, and block her from seeing my photos and posts?  I don't really want to put any of my FB friends in any sort of category, but, at the same time, if she considers me just an acquaintance who is not worthy of seeing her posts, I don't feel like sharing my posts with her either.  I post stuff frequently, but it is always stuff that I don't mind any of my FB friends seeing.  I post very occasional photos of the kids and a lot of very ordinary, local-oriented stuff, such as a play coming up or about the school auction.  (I live in a small scenic town).  She lives about one hour away and we don't get together that often because we are both busy with work and kids.  However, we are part of a group of friends who do try to get together about 4 times a year for a girls' night out.  I have always been a supportive friend to her during her divorce, etc.  I am a lawyer.  She will call me for legal questions and she will invite me to a Pampered Chef party.  I do sort of feel like a 2nd or 3rd tier friend.  We are on good terms.  However, I know I am not part of her inner-circle.  Still, I feel bad that she doesn't want me to see anything she posts anymore.  I am an ordinary middle aged suburban mother, not some nutty stalker.  I have known her and her family for so long.  I was her roommate, too, long ago, for a short time.  She never posted anything hugely consequential, just ordinary stuff. I like FB to keep up with friends I can't get together with as much as I'd like to...So, do I move her to an "acquaintance", too? [/quote]
