[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been FB friends with someone I went to a private K-8 with since literally the beginning of FB itself. We are in our 40s. We hadn’t kept up IRL but we both had daughters around the same time, a little later than average, and they both ended up being only children, so we sort of bonded over that on FB. We have a ton of mutual friends who also went to the K-8, everyone is spread out across the country. Today I was fooling around on FB when I thought about her and how she hasn’t posted lately. You guessed it, she unfriended me. The funny thing is, we still have all the same mutual friends! She didn’t unfriend anyone else from our school. I can’t think of anything I would have done to offend her, our interactions were always benign. Her profile is public so I can see what she’s up to, her DD is adorable as ever, everything else seems the same.

Why in the world would she have unfriended just me? I almost want to ask but that’s weird. “Hey, I know we are essentially strangers who knew each other 30+ years ago and haven’t seen each other in person since then, but why did you unfriend me?” So, if you’ve unfriended in this way, why?[/quote]

I get this. I have a childhood friend/frenemy who BLOCKED me on Facebook. It really threw me for a loop. I have no idea why. I admit I did post a few political things in 2016, but pretty mild stuff. And she didn't block me then. After the election I decided no political stuff at all and kept it to family pics and the like. I thought she quit Facebook in like 2020-2021 because I never saw her post anymore. I figured out she blocked me when her ex-husband died and my best friend mentioned her post.

I was pretty upset for an evening. We weren't necessarily close, but we grew up four houses apart from each other from before kindergarten until HS graduation. We were in the same school, Girl Scout troop, carpooled, and have a wide circle of the same friends. We were part of the same clique in middle school. O got over it, but there was something about the "you're dead to me" block that really stung.[/quote]
