So someone sent me a message on facebook. The message was sent to me and 3 other people. This person who sent the message has me on their restricted list (long story--they are retaliating against me). Anyway, I can only see my responses and the message sender's responses, but NOT the responses of the other 3 people on the message. The chat light is on next to the group message so I know the other 3 people are responding to the message, but I can't see what they are saying. Is this because the person who sent the message has me on restricted? Or is there a way to send a group message to people but hide one person so they can't see the whole thread? I think this person is playing games with me.

I think you need to spend less time on FB.


Its a website... A website.

Yet it's actually impacting your daily life, and in a negative way at that.


Stop obsessing about online interactions and attempt to live your actual life, offline.


Seriously, spend some time offline, it will do you the world of good.

Leave the group chat. If you leave it, you won't be updated as to what's going on.

Did you post, IN the group chat, that you can only see person X's replies?

I honestly have no idea what sort of glitch is going on, but person X can't hide person ABC's messages from you.

You may be right......I may be crazy. As the great Billy Joel once sang. Thanks for the reality check.

Thanks for your reply! It may be some sort of glitch. I researched extensively on many tech sites trying to come up with an explanation for why I can't read the other people's replies on the group message. I did not find any explanations. It could also be some sort of BCC feature on the new Facebook Messenger. But I could not even find that as a reason. So yes, it may just be some sort of glitch and my mind is making it out to be something far different. I really need to do better things with my time.

Simply block the names of the people you are having problems with. You'll never see them again and they won't be able to see you. Problem solved. If FB is causing you drama, perhaps you don't need to be on FB.

I limited my news feed so I don't see everyone's posts. Some people depress me or piss me off or are religious, etc.

I am not on
Facebook but don't judge those who are as I spend too much time on
The internet myself but most if not all your posts are about drama on
Social media. Do you have as much conflict and drama in
Real life as on Facebook? It seems excessive and bothersome to you.maybe take a break

Taking a break from facebook sounds like a great solution.
