Facebook becomes increasingly more involved in the workplace<\/a>, we can expect more incidents as the above.<\/p>\nWhy would you unfriend someone?<\/h3>\n
We’ve all been there. We’ve all wondered if it’s worth it, or why we are even bothering.<\/p>\n
I personally unfriend people if they are factoring into my thinking in a negative way, often. It is the simplest way in putting an action to communicate or reconnect with them again.<\/p>\n
Distance from Online Arguments<\/h5>\n
If things get a bit heated in a Facebook Group, and you’re not thinking right with all the emotions, it can be a good idea to distance yourself from the person online. By unfriending it puts considerable communication distance between you, making it harder to connect again. Brash, but sometimes needed.<\/p>\n
Distance from toxic negativity<\/h5>\n
Negativity, constant drama, political views, sexism, racism…<\/p>\n
We all have our boundaries, if it crosses a line\u00a0for you or if the constant drama, unfriend.<\/p>\n
Who are you?<\/h5>\n
Sometimes (usually on their birthday) someone appears that you have no idea who they are or what the connection is. This isn’t a numbers game, it’s a value game. Unfriend.<\/p>\n
Why wouldn’t you unfriend someone?<\/h3>\nFamily Politics<\/h4>\n
Unfortunately\u00a0sometimes a family member brings you to the unfriending zone, however, you also have to sit across the table from them at Christmas over Turkey.<\/p>\n
Too Much Drama<\/h4>\n
There may be a lot of ambiguous attention seeking status updates, however maybe the best option is reach out and ask what the problem is.<\/p>\n

Ignorance is bliss – The unfollow option<\/h3>\n
At the end of the day, sometimes the easiest option is the unfollow. That way, you’ll remain friends but will not see their posts.<\/p>\n
Your Facebook feed should be an enjoyable place, a place you want to return to get valuable information and be entertained. Keep it that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
