How To Get Unfriended And Alienate People

You know when you click on someone's profile on Facebook to leave a weird little comment on their wall only to find out that you have been unfriended, ya it's an awesome feeling. But there is generally a reason. A new study gives the 5 reasons you might have been unfriended.

I am not sure I agree with the reasons given, number three being “Inappropriate posts”. The study states that if your mother shouldn’t be hearing it, you shouldn’t be posting it. I don’t know about you but my world is all about inappropriateness. It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.

It also gives “Offline Behaviour” as fourth on the list of activities that will get you unfriended. Apparently one ought to curb annoying real-world behaviour to maintain online relationships. Of course, that’s only if you have real relationships outside of Facebook, a fact that should never be assumed.

“Frequent unimportant posts” comes in at number one on the list of motivations to unfriend someone. This I have to agree with. There are ample platforms already dedicated to that sort of behaviour. Twitter, I’m looking at you.

Check out the other ways NOT to get unfriended.
