Deleted

If your name is deleted from someones Facebook or Twitter account don't take it personally. However, there is probably a reason behind it. It could be:

-That there is a difference in philosophy about life in general with the person who owns the account and you.

-That some of your posts were too suggestive or had sayings that were very off-color that reflect negatively on the other account owners beliefs.

-That your ideas were considered too radical or your social commentary to far-fetched for others to be associated with.

-That the person behind the posts and the person in life is nowhere as perfect as you appear to be as a poster online.

-That you know half the things you are posting about are based on untruths and others get upset when they read them because they really know the truth about what happened.

-That you used that forum to express your opinion as fact and sought to defend your failures by appearing to be honest and truthful online.

So here's a radical idea for the SN account holder who gets frustrated everyday by the things they see posted by their "friends" on their home page. You have two choices as far as I see it.

-First, you can choose to delete your Facebook account or Twitter account and just stop with this social network stuff entirely.

-Second, you can quit getting upset about what people say or post on your page by hitting the delete button. In the social network game, "Unfriend" is not a bad word if it keeps you from being stressed, defeated, agitated, aggravated, or upset everyday.

Delete is not defeat in the SN game. In fact, it might be the first step to real victory for someone who allows it.
