Why would someone unfriend you from one social media platform but not another?

I am so confused. I found out today that someone whom I’ve known for a really long time unfriended me on Facebook but yet is still following me on Instagram and Twitter. What’s the point of that? I’m really tempted to unfollow him from the other sites.

Don’t over think it. Before I deleted my fb completely I unfriended every except family. I don’t think they mean it to be personal. If he Unfriends you on all social media then I might wonder if he is upset with you. But I don’t think he is intentionally trying to hurt you

Maybe they dont use the other accounts. You can always ask why he unfriended you. Sometimes its not about what you have done, but what they are feeling inside.

He unfriended you from one social media because he is likely upset with you. Also, you may consider the way that one social media platform operates when it comes to friending or unfriending.

When it comes to the other social platform, he may have (more or less) subscribed to your account to monitor your activity (not necessarily because he considers you a friend).

I'm really sorry to hear about your predicament. Broken trust is a difficult thing to restore.
Good luck.

I don't know. I wouldn't think to deeply on it...if you did something that he's upset with you about, he should confront you, and not do some passive aggressive social media stuff. If he's not the kind of person you talk to regularly, he might just feel like you've drifted apart.

Another possibility: Do you post a lot on facebook? Maybe he just doesn't like your posts....but hey, there's no accounting for taste, right?

It's extremely difficult to think using someone else's brain. Don't sweat it. Really. There are much bigger things to concern your daily life with.

I had someone do the same to me a couple of years ago. Though more than just unfriending me, they blocked me, shut down their account and then made a new one. Without even a reason why. When I discovered she was still following me on Twitter and Instagram, I did us both a favor and blocked and unblocked her. It forces them to stop following automatically, and you don't have to create extra drama because they might just forget all about you.

Thankfully, she did. Because the feelings were too painful to think she might even try to contact me again. I realized after how very toxic she was to me, so I know now it wasn't any great loss. It was more of a gain. I was sick and tired of walking over eggshells and not knowing when she would snap.

I should have gotten the hint when she felt victimized and threw a tantrum for four months when I needed some space for three weeks after a miscarriage. What kind of friend gets mad at that?!

Thanks everyone for the replies. Come to find out he unfriended me but still has my sister as his friend and another male friend of mine as mutuals. But the way I see it, if he doesn’t want to be friends then it’s his loss. But I just wanted to thank you for replying.
