    I came out on Facebook +/- 4 years ago, liked an LGBT page, and shared a few of those LGBT stuff. I noticed that I've lost a few Facebook friends. Family stuck around, obviously, but there are a couple of "friends" who unfriended me on Facebook, and possibly blocked me too, as I don't see their posts anymore, and their names aren't in bold when someone mentions them (mutual friends). So one can only assume they've blocked me.

    I'd like to say I don't mind, but that would be a lie. I DO mind. Because those very people are always so happy to see me. But I've moved on, they were never such close friends anyway. It has always been a one-way street, where I always went to THEIR houses, but none of them has ever been to MINE. I slowly broke off more and more contact, and to be honest, I no longer care about them like I used to. I have two true friends, and that's enough for me, because my family is very close, so they provide me with the social interactions.

    For a while now, I've noticed that the people I USED TO call friends, no longer invite me to social gatherings. They no longer talk to me, unless I initiate conversations. Two of them blocked me on WhatsApp too. But you know what? IDGAF anymore, because they've shown me their true colours and I now know where I stand. Yes, I DO mind, but I no longer CARE. They're false and two-faced and I don't need those types of people in my life.

    Somehow, the trash takes itself out. :icon_wink

    I just needed to rant a bit. :tantrum:
     
  2. Nothing lost then? :grin: There's always gonna be some people out there who will care about you more than those ding dongs. :grin:

    You'll find someone new soon, I'm sure of it. (*hug*)

    Probably everyone here has had FB friends block/unfriend us at some point. Yeah, it may disappoint you and even hurt to an extent.
    If you just put it out of your mind (I know that can sometimes be difficult in itself), then it shouldn't bother you too much. My own brother unfriended me literally a month ago just because I didn't hit "like" to some of his posts (that's what I hear anyway). He told one of my sisters, who then told me. When he re-added me, I just deleted him. Childish, yes, but satisfying!

    As for those friends who don't really see you as much, don't just assume that's its your "coming out" that may have caused it. Friends come into our lives and others fade. That's life, I'm afraid.

    Absolutely. Real friends are the ones that stick around through thick and thin. To quote Shakespeare's Macbeth, "False face hides what the false heart doth know." Those people aren't real if they liked you for what they thought you were instead of who you are. Just keep being your awesome self and good people will gravitate to you. :thumbsup:

    The worst is part is when the only LGBT person you've ever known in person your whole life , gets mad at you, and blocks, you.

    I'm referring to something that happened to me.

    "Difficult" is an understatement. I tend to take things very personal, and things like this really gets to me. Even if someone is upset, and I'm not to blame, I feel personally responsible. It's just in my nature to always take the blame upon myself :icon_sad:

    Damn. Your own brother??? Wow (And that's not a good "wow"). I literally laughed out loud when I read that you deleted him after he added you again. Classic! :roflmao: Childish is subjective. In this case, that "subject" is null and void. Bet he didn't see that one coming! :grin:

    Thanks for this. I'm also sure I'll find someone soon (*hug*)

    Aaaw, thank you (*hug*)

    That sure sucks. I'd hate for something like that to happen to me. Sorry you had to go through this. All the best of luck in finding other LGBT persons, who will love you regardless. (*hug*)
