People to delete from your life, unfriend day
1. The guy you’ve never responded to but slides
consistently into your DMs every few weeks.
Why is he still a part of your social media
experience at this point? This is the kind of
person who thinks persistence is key, when in all
reality he’s just ignoring obvious social cues.
Unfriending him might send a message that’s
more clear.
2. The friend who posts too many selfies.
This is the kind of person who has to use the
caption “last one, I promise” practically every day.
I could spend hours picking a filter for one photo
on my perfectly curated feed, meanwhile
they’re posting six different face photos an hour
in the same outfit/makeup? Social media suicide.
This Unfriend Day, let it be okay to just be friends
IRL.
3. The friend who argues with you on everything
you post.
This isn’t someone you just generally disagree
with, but someone who goes out of their way to
host an intellectual debate on everything you
share . Sometimes other people will jump into the
conversation, and now you’re sixty comments
deep with people you haven’t physically seen in
three years. You can 100% do without this in your
life.
4. The friend with the big mouth.
It could be the family member who broke the
news of your last relationship to your parents
before you did, or the acquaintance you know is
sending screenshots of your shady statuses to
your ex. Stop giving this person access to your
life if they’re just going to gossip about it. Delete!
5. The friend who always sends you game invites.
It’s just social media etiquette. Sending
something here and there can be okay — although
most people would prefer you not — but if you’re
waking up to someone’s Candy Crush Invites
every day, it’s time to cut it. Make 2016 the year
you stop letting friends push their mediocre
gaming experience on you.
6. The friend who posts some variation of “Like
my status and I’ll rate you on a scale of 1-10.”
The only people who let strangers on the internet
rate them are people who need the self-esteem
boost and you are not one of them. Rate yourself
a perfect 10 and click unfriend.
7. The friend who only posts about how happy
she is with her boyfriend.
There’s a difference between wanting to share the
person you love and wanting to prove something
to the general public. Unfriend the person who
makes you an audience member to their over the
top PDA .
8. The friend who only posts in promotion of
their network marketing company.
This is the online equivalent of the friend who
invites you over and when you show up, it’s an
Herbalife party. You know you’ll never have any
interest in joining and their constant posts just
annoy you, so say goodbye.
