Defriended!

You start your laptop.

Sign onto Facebook.

Update your status. Look at different profiles. Check up on your friends, family, etc. Waste an hour or two chatting...and staring at random pictures.

Then...bam!! You notice that you're no longer friends with someone who means a lot to you.

And, just like that, the questions begin. Why did they decide to do that? When did this happen? Couldn't they have said something first, or at least communicated their reason for this action?

We've all been there at some point. And if you don't think you have, guess again. Check your friend count. I guarantee it's lower than it was a month ago.

I've done this before, years ago, for two reasons: because someone greatly offended me, and to avoid having to see an ex girlfriend's status update all of the time.

To be real, it helped. A lot. But, having it done to me has made me think about it now. What do you think? Have you done this before and why?
