This is the age of digital revolution where people spend a considerable amount of their time logged on to Facebook or Twitter accounts. They have become so much particular about their online “image” or personality.
According to a research, men mostly use their social presence to find the better job prospects and networking whereas the women use the social media for creative outlet or gossip, for coupons or promotions and to give or take feedback on some product or issue.
People really do get affected when someone tries to harm their online “image” or when somebody unfriends them on Facebook or stop following them on Twitter. I don’t see any point getting frustrated or annoyed with this act because those people who find you interesting will remain friend or interested in you and who find you boring or “dumb” will unfriend you and move on life. But many people do take this seriously as there is growing urge amongst them to increase the number of friends on the Facebook. On an average, a person interacts with only about 130 to 150 friends on Facebook but an average person has over 400 friends on Facebook. This means that more than half of the friends that you have are either not known to you or are your “passive” friends.
According to a research that is conducted by McKinsey states that one of the top reason that people unfriend is because of offensive comment or some views that have affected their online “image”. Some other points that have come out of research are that people tend to make friends on Facebook based on their profile pics or physical attractiveness. Even today most of the people have those friends who they actually know in their real life. I have seen many families where each member has its own account on social media and interact with each on the social platform.
So if one of those who freaks out if someone unfriends you on the social media then do post some non-depressing and non-offensive comments on the site. One advice that I would like to give to those guys is to get a life and move on in life. You control your Facebook account and not the other way around. This gives me a great reason to have a great laugh at you.
