Social Madness / myLot

Hello Mylotters! I'm a social butterfly like everyone else. I'm part of almost every social media. For instance I have Facebook, Twitter, Google+, MySpace, etc... My question to you is do you get offended if someone un-follows you? Do you get very angry when someone doesn't accept your friend request? I don't! To me it's not that serious! But unfortunately some people do take it too seriously. For example, I had this friend on Google+. We were cool and all. The problem was that I was too busy to always like his posts. So one day he left me a message saying that he blocked me and replaced me with someone else. I was like okay and went on with my business. Then one day a mutual friend of ours informed me he send her a private message trying to get her to un-follow me. She said he was very emotional about the whole thing. What do you think about my story? If you were me what would you do?

If you have not offended him, then there is no such reason. People do send such PM to others if they are offended by someone. However that friend told you about his PM, this means she is better for you then him.

Yeah agree, the whole thing was unnecessary! I mean it was all pity. He did send the PM because he was offended. Even though he really had nothing to be offended about. Yes I really appreciate her telling me about the PM. I'm glad she didn't keep me in the dark. Overall I'm glad the whole thing is done and over with.

I don't think it's something that should get us bent out of shape. There's other things that need our attention. There's people that take it personally and it does affect them. We simply can't please everyone.

Hello there! Yes certainly we can't please everyone. I also agree it's nothing to get upset about. People constantly unfriending me on my social medias I don't get upset about it. I move on! Yes there are more important things going on in the world and in my life. I never forget it can be worse and someone else is going through a difficult situation in there life. Thanks so much for your input, Francesca

@Teep11 Hi! Yes for sure we can't please everyone we certainly would go insane trying to do so. Yes definitely the thought that there are bigger issue then me keeps me grounded. Truly put things in perspective for me!

@fransmonlot We certainly can't please everyone. We should drive ourselves mad trying to do so. There's a lot of people who are dealing with bigger issues than we are.

i would be the same as you. it doesn't really bother me. i say its their loss. some just think it is their whole life and maybe it is. some seem to just try and see how many friends they can build up to. i never understood that. unless it is a close family member i usually just don't stress it.
