I've been battling with this decision for a long time. This friend tends to ignore me all the time, is judgmental, and is very jealous. I have tried to stay friends with her for a very long time. I have decided to put her on the restricted list on Face Book since that is our only communication right now.
The problem is that I feel bad and I have blocked her to only unblock her in the past. Even if I don't keep her on the restricted list forever, I need to not communicate with her for a long time.
I feel bad though.

a friend should not be jealous but instead be happy if you are happy.. i understand being judgmental sometimes because as a human being we do feel it but it should be avoided because it is a bad trait.. anyways it is normal for you to feel bad about blocking her on face book.. you will soon get over with it..

Thanks. I agree with you as well. My best friend is not like this at all. My best friend is going through a rough time right now, and we are not always able to talk like we used to. I understand why though, and I am not mad at her. Maybe it's partly because I am lonely.
Anyway, I think you are right. A true friend would not treat me this way.

I won't feel guilty restricting close friends who've offended me in facebook. its just that for a time i have declared and decided not to know anything about them, and they too can't know about my statuses and updates so there's really no big deal. =) I hope you'd be fine soon. Have a nice day!

it's not that bad to do something like that. Sometimes we need to prevent ourselves from irritating friend even on social media. May be it's not only you who put her on restricted list.

YOu shouldn't feel bad. Id she has been unfriendkly to you then she does not deserve your friendship.
There are plenty of people who will appreciate your friendship. YOu don't need anyone who is judgmental and jealous. Stick to sincere and open mindedfriendship.
YOu'll be a lot happier.

I believe that if that person is your friend then that person shouldn't be acting like this towards you. Do what you must do and if that doesn't work out then don't communicate with that person for a while and see what happens.

But why did you blocked her? Does she did something wrong with you?
Try to talk to her and tell her what's going on with you. Maybe you should need some time.

I have taken people out of my newsfeed for awhile at times if we seemed to be clashing over something. If someone is really my friend in real life, I'm not going to want to block them entirely.
