If someone unfriended you as opposed to just blocking you on social media, how would you see that action?

Would it be just as bad as blocking if they unfriended rather than just blocking you?

[milkov]

If it's someone close to me, I'd be very confused why they unfriended me but would not do anything about it. I'll think "okay if that's what you want. Got it." And move on

But if it's someone I don't care about who happens to just be my friend in that app and they unfriended me, I won't care nor think.

would you feel its just as bad as being blocked?

[milkov]

No I wouldn't. It would be a totally different thing if I was blocked.

Like if I search that friend then I can see them but not friends with them, I'm like okay I've been unfriended no biggie.

But when I search that friend and I cannot find them because I've been blocked, I'd be like WHAT THE HECK?

[Asker]

ok if they unfriended you but later tried to re-add you and had a good explanation for it would you accept them back as friends and hear them out?

[milkov]

Yeah sure

[jennifer_bloom]

It depends who it is, a minor character I never talk to would not matter but a close connection or romantic lover would hurt. I only ever removed two girls cause my stalkers used their profiles to troll me and they did not have the good sense to reject strangers as friends.

[Asker]

if that person who was a close connection blocked you do you think that would hurt more than being merely unfriended?

[jennifer_bloom]

Being unfriended is less painful

I would probably not even notice, that's how little our relationship meant.

wouldn't matter to me
