There is this guy that I added to my Facebook literally over 3 years ago. In those 3 years, we have said maybe 8 words total. All through comments about a tv show...not even direct to each other...more of a talking out loud "I liked this or that about this show" months apart...
Not too long ago I posted a status that I had a bad day, that I'm tired and I can't wait to go to sleep. Nothing major, nothing to get attention, just burnt out from working so much and needed to vent a little (also letting my family know I'm going to sleep and don't bother me lol)...
Anyway, he commented. Which was nice of him. He seemed like a good hearted person who was on and happened to see it.
Then he messaged me and basically said EVERYTHING that I didn't need to hear. I don't know him, he doesn't know me AT ALL. He said, I'll never leave you and I love you. I got upset and straight up told him that I didn't like that, it's wrong to say, and it's wrong to promise people things when you can't predict the future.
THAT was the last thing I needed to hear (part of why I'm so depressed/going to therapy..losing someone).
Then AFTER I made my point VERY clear...he proceeded to end the convo with good night baby. I told him off and told him to give me space.
Today, he's back again after a few days of leaving me alone. Liking everything, commenting, and even messaged me...I ignored it all. I don't want him all over my f'n wall. I want to unfriend him and TELL him why & do it PROPERLY...how???
He knows about me losing someone so we can't say, "he didn't know and just happened to say the wrong things.." HE KNEW...

Maybe he thought he was being supportive since you are going through a bad time.
Politely ask him to stop contacting you "for the time being". You'll let him know as soon as you feel up to having Facebook company. Meanwhile, just delete anything he writes. I understand there are ways to block unwanted people from bugging you.
