If someone did that to me it would probably be because we were already have major issues so wouldn't exactly be a surprise or a disaster. Life is too short to worry about stuff like that.

Ive unfriended people and they have done it to me. No big deal . I once unfriended someone cause he was a blowhard Repbulican. Another one unfriended me cause i didnt call her when she asked. Right and my wife would be ok with that.

couldnt care less. have a nice life

i love when fb idiots publicly announce that they are doing friend deletions. LOL so edgy and cool you must have such a fulfilling life that you feel the need to post that so people that are desperate enough will beg you not to delete them! someone has too much time on their hands.

let me save you the time....ill unfriend you myself

Yes and I do get upset to some extent. My one aunt unfriended me after I told her I would never date a man with kids and a former coworker unfriended me after I talked about the politician who made me lose my one job. My ex boyfriend unfriended me after we broke up. The only person I unfriended was someone who claimed to be a high school classmates (though I didn't recognize the name)and proceeded to post photos of her in skimpy outfits.

Yeah, really. "Today I'm going to go through and unfriend people who don't talk to me. If you see this next status, you're still my friend!" Fantastic! I was really worried you'd delete me. Not.

I used to have a policy of unfriending only if someone started harassing me on my page. I also added most people who requested me because I felt bad denying them and assumed maybe they met me before and I didn't remember. I've sort of changed that, though, especially because most profiles that add me are spam profiles. I have deleted people for saying racist and intolerant things too, even if it wasn't on my page.

It helps that I have 800+ friends (!) so I usually don't notice if I get unfriended. Of course, there are a lot of drawbacks to having that many people on FB. The last person I noticed who unfriended me was my former roommate and I knew she hated me anyway. It wasn't a huge surprise.

doubt I'd notice for the first couple months....I have all these friends an hardly any one talks to me. If I see more than six or seven of them in real life in a year I consider it quite a rare event.

Sometimes I notice my number of friends has decreased. Most of the time I don't give it another thought. If people ask, and I know them, I will friend them. I don't really interact with many of them so I don't generally notice who is missing (and I don't have 100's of friends.)

A couple family members left FB so they disappeared. One person, a friend to my entire family, unfriended me and my kids. I'm still not sure why he did this. It's just weird as he was some one that has known our kids since infancy, been on vacations with us, and worked with my H for many years. That one kind of bothered me, but he also stopped answering emails and phone calls too before that. It's an odd situation.

I usually don't even notice. FB is not important enough for me to watch like a hawk.

It doesn't bother me. Facebook "friending" has very little in common with being a true friend in real life. I'd say the Facebook "friends list" is more of an address book than anything else.

Others may come and go, but the ten or so people I love and am close to in real life would never delete me, and if they ever did, I'd know why. And that's all that matters to me!

Same here. Not everyone from my school or college deserves to be on my Facebook list.
And even if someone un-friends me, I would not even come to know of it, as I access FB once in two months on an average.
