Everyone takes this Facebook friends thing waaaay too seriously.
I go through my friends list every once in a while and delete anyone a) who I don't talk to in real life, b) who hasn't done so much as even comment on my wall/status updates, and c) whose wall/status updates I don't feel the need to comment on.
Yes, some of those people have been sisters. Yes, some of those people have been family members. Yes, some of those people were my best friends back in high school.
Does that mean that if I ran into one of those people at a formal, or a holiday party, or a reunion that I wouldn't be friendly and/or really excited to see and talk to them? No.
Don't let Facebook run your social life. And try not to take such offense when someone defriends you, especially if you haven't taken the time to communicate with each other outside of a social media site.
