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.

Maybe you feel that way, but a lot of people are really hurt when it happens...and people do notice when they are defriended.
Everyone looks at FB differently. If I can do something that keeps someone from being hurt or upset, I'll do it, because FB as an entity HAS caused some hurts and upsets. If you were too quick to accept a request and as a result became uncomfortable that Sasha from jr high now knows about your lousy relationship with your mother, I would wager that Sasha is not the one with the problem.
