Not my friend anymore

I have noticed a trend, that I am sure I am not the only victim of. Technology makes it easier to be rude. I’m not talking about when people hop on the internet they instantly become internet bullies. I am talking about when people use the internet to do things they should be doing in person.

I am speaking of a few examples of when I have lost friends (So far only female friends) who decided to un friend me and end our real life relationship at the same time. As if doing that action signifies, how in real life ‘we are no longer friends and I don’t want you talking to me.’

I suppose this would be agreeable if I didn’t know these people in person, and we were not friends. (In the case of one woman however I was dating her) Logging on to face book to realize you have one less friend is a strange experience.

For me I always think back to my last interaction with the person and ask myself what I may have done to be shut out in such a rude manner. I try not to stress it, because there really is nothing you can do at that point. (Texts and calls are never returned) So I just write it off as a loss and wonder what happened.

Now that I think about it, its not losing a friend of face book that annoys me, it’s the silence before and after. Sort of misleading. You think everything is all right and then one day you realize you lost someone. Here today gone tomorrow.
