Goodybe to you /chop, chop/

So I received an inbox message on FB today. It explained how a group I was part of was deleting people based on their lack of posting/responses "due to the private nature" of the posts in the group. My immediate thought was, "Oh yeah - I haven't seen anything about that group come up in my newsfeed for quite some time". So I clicked on the Group and was immediately sent to my homepage. I tried seeing if it was part of my groups, etc. and found nothing so I'm pretty sure my lack of posting earned me the ol' axe-a-roo.

Honestly, I was a bit upset at first. I have "known" many of these women for years. How could I be axed? And then I thought, "Who really cares?!". And I don't mean to sound prideful or like I am better than anyone. I think it just dawned on me that the internet is not my main source of friendship anymore. I don't need that interaction like I used to. I have made some of my best friends because of the internet, but that particular group obviously wasn't high on my priority list and that being said, my lack of interest made me not very high on the group's priority list. I know I could have myself "reinstated" if I wanted, but I don't think I do. So yeah, go me for not running with my knee jerk reaction. I think I must be growing up. :)

  1. LOL - I love you, really! I was part of the chop/chop and while I, too, was a little bummed at first - you are right, it's not something I "need" as much as I used to.

    Thanks for reminding me!

  2. Hmmm. I wonder if I was chopped from a group I'd forgotten I was a part of? I so suck at keeping up with FB groups. Glad you're taking this ax in stride!!!

  5. I wonder if I got the old choparoo as well? I agree with Julie, I am uncomfortable with how catty it became. I understand wanting a place to vent, but I really dont want to hang out and badmouth other people.
