It’s still the middle of winter, but it’s never too soon to start spring cleaning and one easy place to start? Your Facebook friends list. You may feel like you NEED all those hundreds of people to fill out your social media friends, but chances are there are dozens you could delete and not even miss them. Not sure where to start making cuts? These are the ones to unfriend first.
- Anyone from junior high or high school that you don’t actually remember- Social media is great for connecting you with people you lost touch with, but it can also put you in touch with those you don’t remember in the first place. So if you have no memory of that girl from fifth grade, there’s no shame in unfriending her like she never existed, because she kinda didn’t.
- The random person who pops up in every Facebook conversation and is rude to other commenters- It’s clear they’re hurting for human interaction and will say just about anything to get it, but if they make you and everyone else uncomfortable, it’s time to make the cut.
- The practical stranger who stalks your page- She “likes” all your photos and comments on every status update, but you don’t even know her that well. No need to feel awkward about it, just step back and unfriend.
- The person who is really into sharing their racist/homophobic/sexist views- Sure, you could just hide their offensive rants from your timeline, but getting them off your friend list once and for all will feel so much better.
- Your ex’s family members- At some point, your ex’s relatives will unfriend you, so why not beat them to it and save your feelings? It’s time.
- The person you went out on one date with- There’s no good reason the person you met for a beer once and no sparks flew should have that much access to the details of your life and with one little click, they won’t.
