Totally Hurt By Relative

I was on FB and was going through my friends list to clean it up and I noticed my cousin deleted me as a friend.

I was 100% hurt that she did this. My sister told me that it was probably because my status messages that offended her.

Whenever I put down something on FB, I make it funny or serious, but mostly off-color funny ones. Well, I think they are good. They are just how I am feeling at that given time. I think the one that broke the camel's back was, "My *****aholics Meeting got cancelled, so I will just be hanging out at FB today." Then BOOM, I was deleted. I sent her a message asking why she did that to me and she finally answered me today.

She said my posts were something she just didn't want to see. I think she has a big stick up her *** if what I say offends her. I am only being honest about things.

Normies, I can't stand them! She said she viewed life differently than I do. Of course she does, she doesn't have BP Disorder.

She said it doesn't make us any less of family because she did that, but I tend to disagree because she knows I have BP Disorder, which I don't ever discuss on FB, yet she deletes me.

I am just not going to respond to her message back to me.

I am so hurt and upset about this whole thing. Some people can be such prudes and self-righteous.

I feel your pain I got deleted on Fb by my own sister!!!Just bc she was jumping on the oldest sister about things she has no control over and I told her to stop the situation did not call for all the fighting that she was causing but, you no if she can live with it so can I. Sure it hurts but,I try to push past other peoples stupidity. Hope things go better for you in the future.

In a sense I know how you feel... My SIL deleted me once she knew she was going thru with divorce proceedings, I didn't and still don't get her reasoning behind it. On the other hand, I have a sister that KEEPS making inane comments or expressing her utter dislike for my FB posts (mostly due to what her friends must think of my absurd posts) And this after i made a public announcement to delete and or block me if your constitution is to sensitive for my content. Anyway, i hear ya.

Other people have the right to like/dislike whatever makes them happy, that has nothing to do with you! You know how you have to leave sites or block people because they say and do things that trigger you? Well, what you say/do triggers her is all, don't take it personally and let it get you down, what someone else is doing.

OMG Trippin, my sister tells me all the time that she doesn't like a lot of my posts because her kids can see them.

I told her just 2 days ago that kids aren't supposed to be on FB.

She mentioned me sharing the Remove Homophopics on FB sign that said, "Stop Teen Suicide", and she told me that her 10 yr. old daughter saw that and said it was really sad.

I then told her it was a positive thing to do, and told her that her 10 yr. old daughter has no place being on FB. I told her to block me from them.

I'm tired of being muzzled. And you're absolutely right, FB's not for little kids,so your sister's point is invalid...

Welll .............

I have spend over 2 years in severe pain ( fibromyalgia ) And I posted some stuff on there about being a lab rat and being tossed between my doctor and a few others ... Some days I would just feel so mad I'd post a rant about how sick I was oh the constant pain ..

Soooo my husband thought I shared to much about how I feel .. He felt I should keep my problems to myself ..him and are werent getting along well at the time ..

SO I said Wow I have a Perfect solution .. I deleted him and his 3 sons and any mutual " friends we had ..

My facebook is MY facebook .. I recently went thru and unfriended half the people .. most people wanted to add me yet i never heasr a peep out of them ...

My life is hard enough between the chronic pain and Bipolar .. I dont need any other nonsense

Just my opinon ~

I don't use FB anymore. I'm too impulsive about speaking my mind when I'm in a mood, rant too much when I'm hypomanic, get paranoid about who can see what, get too distracted by stupid stuff, and get caught up in drama way too easily. I was never actually being myself, and the free riding "look but don't touch" strategy defeats the purpose to me.

De-activating my FB account was one of the better decisions I've made for my mental health and stress levels. I have only very rarely regretted it, largely because people no longer announce things in other venues because they assume everyone's on FB, or I don't have their contact info.

But... I do use Twitter a lot. I actually have 3 accounts: anonymous public (crazy tweets!), non-anonymous public (professional), and non-anonymous private (friends only). All too often it's pretty much the extent of my social interaction.

I know how alot of you feel. I have fibromyalgia, BP, and PTSD. My daughter deleted me from her FB and never wants anything to do with me again because she thinks I am "nuts". So I totally deleted my FB account. It was too painful seeing other peoples lives being so happy and productive while mine was falling apart. I also agree that FB is no place for children. You never know who your kids are friending. And anyone can put any pictures and say they are them. (kids pics). Sorry for the rant, but...

Honestly, don't be hurt by this. People are easily offended by silly thing likes this, even bumper stickers. I'm not religious so I get annoyed by people who constantly talk about Jesus and praying etc. I never point it out (I see 8 patient a day) I just try to steer the conversation to other topics. If she doesn't agree or understand your posts that's her choice. I wouldn't be upset, it's just facebook. Maybe explain to her she doesn't have to delete you all together, she can just not suscribe to your posts. I don't want to offend you but your reaction is a little to intense and unreasonable. Especially since she wrote you back and explained why. I hope your not upset by me saying this, because I myself have intense reactions to things sometimes that a person without bipolar would not have. I have asked my bf to point these out so I learn how to better deal with things and not be hurt and upset.

I don't think others lives' are always so perfectly happy. They only post the good stuff and not when they are having a bad day. We are the opposite, we are more likely to post about a bad day and not a good one lol

When I was manic, I posted almost constantly, and probably lost some friends and annoyed and weirded out a lot of people. Your cousin most likely was put off and didn't know what else she could do; however, she simply could have blocked your updates while still remaining your friend. It's an option under the x on a certain comment. Perhaps if you tell her this, she will re-friend you but still maintain control over what her kids can see. And I agree, kids that young shouldn't be on Facebook. But a little understanding can go a long way.

Sheba, if your response was to me, let me explain. She didn't just delete me from FB, she deleted me from her life. If I try to email her just to say I love her, I get mean hateful responses from her. But I know she was still looking at my FB cause she would make comments to her sister about how I was still crazy. So that's why I deleted it. Didn't want my other daughter stuck in the middle. I have actually been told by my therapist that she thinks my "deleted" daughter may have narcissistic tendencies. Who knows. I just know I miss her terribly. But thanks for the reply if it was for me. And thanks for not making it religious as I am not there either.

Guys, I am so over this whole thing. I may even give her a call later on today or tomorrow. She told me that I had her number, so I will give her a call within the next couple of days.

It's only FB, not a big deal.
