My friend gets upset because I don't click LIKE on her facebook status.? - Jane - 01-02-2014 03:32 PM
Personally, I feel, we are not obligated to like every item we see from our friends. I have 500 friends on facebook and I don't expect they click every time I post something. Need your opinion please.

Pathetic

Of course not. Obviously this "friend" is not a true friend. She probably only wants friends for their likes.

It's a pretty sad society we live in if we are only satisfied with our friends based on the amount of likes they give us on a social networking site just so that our other friends can see how liked/popular we are. Honestly you really don't need someone like that around you. Stick with genuine friends.

She has low self esteem. Help her by sharing tons of self help stuff to her wall.

She might also have a sort of addiction to getting social feedback in which she needs "likes" to get her fix, and she is just grumpy because she is jonesing and she felt like you were holding back and being all selfish with the "likes".
Some people have a sort of bipolar mentality in which they see the world in polar extremes, and since Facebook doesn't have a dislike button the way Y!A has a thumbs down, they see the lack of a "like" as a "dislike" and may feel offended if they believe someone saw their post and "disliked" it by not "liking" it. It's totally their disorder and you should not feel the need to enable it in any way. They ought to understand if you explain it the way you did with this question.
