But what if you are the one being deleted? I was not in the cool group at school; being somewhat of an outsider, you build up a fair degree of resistance to rejection, if you let it affect you, it becomes all consuming. You ask a girl on a date, she says no, you need to move on pretty quick, sooner or later, you will get your first yes, maybe even a second or third. I have been deleted on social media on numerous occasions and I couldn't really care.
The emphasis of many social media articles has been on why you should cull and delete people; however, what does this really say about the person deleting you? As it can only be used as a weapon against you if you care, what statement are they trying to make about themselves? They are expecting you to be hurt and upset, if you are not, then the power returns to you. Should you have been online friends with them in the first place, or friends at all? Let's face it, they have done you a favour.
