Learn English: meaning of unfriending English lesson

Well! After ages, I’m back and got 37 freinship requests. That makes me feel good. 

I’m kind of aggreeing with Rafael! I’ve unfriended some of friends from my list whom I’ve not talked with them for a several years. I belive this highly depends on people’s attitudes to friendship and social networking. Also, I’ve not realized yet whether I’ve been unfriended or not. If yes, I just move on. 

but in Englishbaby, things are different. I got lots of lovely friends and enjoyed communicating them. 

I dont like to unfriend people in social network unless they misbehave or disobey the rules and regulation . 

Hmmm🤔

I unfriend many people in social networks so others have the same right.

No problem😏

Sometimes we dont feel good to have some as our friends in our private online pages so we unfriend them and it dosent mean we are not friends in real world.

It is very difficult for me to unfriend people in real life. Unfriending people on a social networking site means no problem for me. When someone unfriend me in real life, it is not easy don’t taking it personally. I understand that people often grow apart, but I think, it is important to fight for a real friendship. And if there are any problems, they’ll should be discussed. Many people don’t do that. They think friends are replaceable.

Unfriending is the hardest part of a person’s life.Research says that unfriending hurts more than a divorce.I’d like to hear your opinions about unfriending.

It’s hard sometimes when we be apart with anyone we like on facebook or twitter and pother social media. I personally have not been unfriended. Not a big deal maybe.

I think I´ve never been unfriended. But I have already unfriended people. Once, I unfriended one of my best friends because we had a little discussion. It was very childish, now I can see this. He made a campaign for me add him again, it was very cute. This is the only unfriended case I regret. I have removed a lot of people from my facebook that I didnt know, or didnt talk to. And I feel really great about it. Now I only have real friends on my fb.

Unfortunately being friends on Facebook or other social networks doesn’t mean that we’re actually friends. It’s very common to add acquaintances or people we’ve just met. So I agree with Rafael. It’s better to being efficient with friend lists and mantain only people that are really important for me.

@ EVAfrommexico

I agree with you if it is talked of penpals who you don’t know in real life. It should be no problem for us if someone who we really don’t know unfriends us. But what should we do with playmates, classmates, former neighbors etc.? We might be friends and even the best friends a long time ago but now we maybe just annoy one another.

I think such persons don’t unfriend me because it seems to them impolite or unfriendly. I do the same :)

I agree social networking can be removed easily from our actual life. 

As for me, webs are only lo learn and get good info as much as it can be possible (idiosyncrasies, ideologies, ideas, culture, languages, history, maths, music, geography and more)

@ Reader, now that you’ve read this lesson, are you going to do it more often? )

In real life a person who has nothing in common with other person just quit meeting him/her or speaking to him/her. So unfriending is usual practice in the Internet age.

Unfriending? I seldom did it before.

@ Seiyf_khawas

Why are you going to do such a thing? :-) I mean deleting an account.

I suppose sometimes a person may be not in the mood for communicating with friends but…

If the question arise: my previous account was cancelled because it was connected to Facebook page and I don’t want to use Facebook any more.

Ok, definetly, to unfriend is a very negative thing. Mostly it’s because of our differences. It’s understandable, we’re from different countries, we’re of different ages, we have different background. So it’s common if we don’t see eye to eye and some comments seems annoying ,but isn’t it the best way to improve our social and relationship skills in this kind of differences. Let’s stop for a second and rather then to unfriend , find some fascinating characters which are indoubtly unique and precious.

to delete an account is same with unfriending ??

if yes, ı did it many times…

and ı will do it again..suddenly…without saying anything ,goodbye to friends..

Oh, how could I miss such an interesting lesson? I agree with Rafael.

I’m still going to unfriend some persons but I think it’s impolite :(

There are my former neighbors and classmates in my list of friends. We have nothing in common and some of their posts seem to me irritating. I haven’t talked to them in ages. So I just don’t follow them.

Well.I think  if I have two real friends it’s better of have a lot that never can’t help you but about social network its different I like have a lot because you can cemenucat with and transfer with them your opinions

Hi everyone. Thank for the lesson. I’m the one who is removing ppl from friend’s list. I don’t do it every month but from time to time i realize that my ‘friends’ aren’t involve in my social life. Of course, being inet friend doesn’t mean you should “like” my every photo and comment my sentences. But i need to ‘heear something’ from my friends from time to time. Actually i do something to my friends: write, like, support them and if i know a person in real life i communicate.

In my opinion it’s better to have 10-50 friends and know about their life than having 100-500 and every time try to find out who is he/she.

Once I talked to a boy, who was trying to add me, he had about 400 friends. I asked if he knew at least 50% of them. He answered he didn’t know even 30%. Is it normal?

Thank you dear Shoba, I am glad you found it interesting.
