This just happened to me.
I find it to be ridiculous and immature.
The falling-out with my friend had nothing to do with our mutual friend.
But since they are closer, the mutual friend's loyalties will lie with my ex-friend.
I feel like I"m in high school.
I'm 40. lol Too old for this shit.

I would feel that those people are pretty childish & that I should probably not waste any more time on either of them.

Like it's high school drama.

No it is not. They can say why they unfriended that person but should not expect you to do so.

Hey @mom - goddess I don't have social media cuz I really have no friends and this is my only media site I have . I have no mainstream social media.....But if it did happen to me I won't care cuz if it's that e-z 2 unfriend me was they even a friend.?

The person asking someone ELSE to defriend you oversteps and that anyone would defriend based on a suggestion from someone else is definitely not behaving like an autonomous adult. I'd move on...

it depends on what you mean by okay.

it's legal. it's not nice.

did the mutual friend DO it? that's important to know in answering the question.

g

I would think you would need to update what you consider a "friend".

Do not give a hang - I am not defined by social media!

Well....they did you a favor, didn't they? Never waste energy or thought on people who aren't your friends! I'm sorry...hope it didn't hurt!

It depends on if the mutual friend does what he/she is told (unfriends you). If they do, then they were probably not a good friend after all.

I've been unfriended by family, "Christians" and people I've known since childhood. I'm guessing nearly 100% have been about one thing. Donald Trump. That has divided America like no other thing. Don't think it has anything to do with someone liking me or not. They believe his lies, and I don't, and I refuse to not point out every one I can possibly point out. Don't know your personal situation. I just feel like, to each his/her own. Do what you want, and I'll do what I want.

If your mutual friend agrees to that, she can hardly be counted as your friend. I would spend some time looking at the friendship...as maybe it wasn’t build on common interest to begin with. If need be, ask her why she blocked you, without a reason of her own. After that...I would look to make other friendships. The loss, would still hurt, but you will recover in time. To me if a friendship isn’t an enjoyable exchange, it is not doing our life any good (theirs either). Good luck!

If anyone is going to do that, simply by being told to do it by someone else, you're better off without both of them.
I'd be giving both of them a giant middle finger, and not another thought.

it isn't un okay. that said, if it is a friend, they should either ignore or say WTF.

Unless I was in love with them or they signed my paycheck....I would LET IT GO.

It's none of my business why people do what they do on social media.

If it matters then ask the 'someone' why they did it. It if doesn't.....'Let it go, let it go......'
