I unfriended someone on Facebook today. Its a reiki practitioner I have done business with but don't anymore because I felt harmed by her on more than one occasion. She didn't harm me on purpose, but she was not very respectful (or professional in what she said) in terms of "hearing me" when I spoke up about how I felt about the way she spoke to me, what she said to me that hurt me when i was on the table. It seemed like she got defensive and blamed it on me. She also has this attitude like she knows more or better, because she is a "healer." It's patronizing and condescending. I think she is just not the right person for me to do business with. I wasn't sure whether to unfriend her or not. I don't want to cause her harm (she likes some of my posts and she will probably notice that I unfriended her at some point). But I am upset with this person still, I think, for causing me harm and making me feel unsafe in a supposedly safe environment.

I don't know if I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill? I just don't want this person to feel slighted or hurt that I unfriended them. I have known her for a while. A few years. And I have always gotten weird vibes from her, and I have always felt like I bent over backwards to be nice and understanding about that. But I think it's ok to not be understanding anymore. I think it's ok to set a boundary, say goodbye. It just feels weird and uncomfortable to me for some reason. I didn't tell her why I unfriended her. I don't really want to either. I already told her how I felt (in the moment), and she wasn't receptive.

Well don`t feel too bad about it, I mean its your face book after all and it is totally up to you to control who can see and comment your stuff.

I already unfriended pretty close family members because they were getting on my nerves.

If she confrontes you about it just say you were never really talking.

Usually my rule of thumb is, if your not friends in real life, why would you be on facebook
Thanks for this!

I don't use Facebook anymore, but it should be a membership requirement that everyone unfriend at least one "reiki practitioner" each year. They'll all be able to heal themselves.
Thanks for this!

Feeling bad about it ? Hell no ! She was not professional.
