Do you delete/block people on Facebook who have hurt you?

[Anonymous]

theres always gonna be negative people in your life, you find out things like they lied to you, they said things about you behind your back, or they simply used you and then ignored you treated you like crap, is it justified to delete and block any contact with these people and move on? or are you considered immature for doing so? I think the opposite I think its mature to do that because you have every right to decide who your friends are and who you want to keep in touch with.

consensus says that women delete/block more than men do! interesting

usually if someone hurt me I will give it a few months, just to see if we make up, you know? After that it's time to kind of let them go and keep their life updates out of yours. I think the blocking is a bit harsh but deleting (or unfriending) is fine. It's not immature if it's for a good reason, and it's your own personal right and decision as to who you want to be friends with one Facebook.

whats the difference between blocking and unfriending? how is blocking more harsh?

[brookeelizabeth]

unfriending just means that it goes back to the way it was before you were friends on Facebook, which, depending on your privacy settings is different for each person. blocking means they can't see anything of yours or send you messages or other things that I don't know because I've never blocked someone nor have I ever been blocked. but it's different

i have blocked several people (:P). when you block someone, they cannot even see your profile. even if they type your e-mail, they will find nothing. BUT the same goes to you. you will not be able to see them either. you can unblock them whenever you want :)

[madmisskelly]

If they have that much of a negative impact on me, then yes I block and delete them.

If I am being harassed I block and delete them.

Exes- I delete them.

Family members who I am not speaking to at all, I have deleted them.

I don't need them in my life.

[ALWAYSclassy]

why would it be immature?

i bet the ones who are telling you its immature are the ones who want to keep you around so they can use you further

if someone is bringing you negativity, delete them from Facebook and your life!

[Asker]

yes ma'am! :)

I have never had to black some one from Facebook or delete them for hurting me or saying bad thing to me or just being ass hole,s to me and most of the people on my Facebook are family and some friend and I don,t have that mine friend on they. but i,m all was up to make new friends on hear

[TurbulentDan12]

No I don't. I really don't care if they remain on my friends list. If I don't want to see their status updates I'll remove them from my feed but I do that to annoying people mostly.

[beerY33]

I've deleted a few people who I used to be my friends but we went through a lot of drama. I just didn't want to see their stuff on my newsfeed.

[Asker]

yea! also when they write on mutual friends walls, it hurts to see them talking to them but not caring to fix things with u!

[Nicefuture]

Yes,i do.

Im not good at pretending nor good at lying.

It is that simple,i don't like them anymore,i don't want to talk to them anymore,im not comfortable with seeing them in my page everyday Nor happy about that.

[stevo]

I don't delete people. I deleted my FB, however. Don't want to see, hear or think about any drama going on there. The less I have in my life as a whole, the better.

^ This QA

[stevo]

Yeah. I know.

[Asker]

what about the QA?

[stevo]

Who knows with this guy, lol. He's cool though.

[Asker]

o.O

[Kain6th]

lol. I meant that's what I really mean.

[Bubbleguy68]

yes, you are right! but I don't delete them.. I just act like the don't exist... (:

[Asker]

why keep them around?

[Bubbleguy68]

in my opinion, deleting someone from fb is an easy way to forget them. you should find another way to show them that what they did was not cool, and make them apologize. I want to ask you something. is fb the only place you talk to them? I mean, do you know those people in real life?

[Asker]

YES OF COURSE! LOL we were buds in school

[Bubbleguy68]

then there is no point of deleting them. you may see them again face-to-face in the next two days. anyway, do whatever you think that will help you. I was just here to help :)))

I gave my ex friend the silent treatment right after he mocked me in the hallway. I wanted him to know he had hurt me. But instead he blocks me... so was I being immature because I gave him the silent treatment and cold shoulder, even though it was justified? Was he being mature blocking me without considering how he might have offended me?

[mjmlag]

I have denied peoples friend requests who have annoyed me before, yes.

[Kain6th]

Facebook? What's that?

*acting dumb*

[Asker]
