What happened to my friends on facebook?

[Trolly Poly]

Hi. Yesterday i had 405 and now i only have 398. What happened to 7 of my friends? Is there some kind of bug with Facebook? ANyone else noticed this happening?

And no they would not have deleted me lol.
@ing ong. Yea they are all people in know in real life and have met face to face lol. I have 10's of friend requests from random strangers that i don't accept. I don't want any spam or viruses lol. And no there is no competition for the amount of friends etc, i am not a 12 year old girl!

But seriously what is wrong here?

No, there were no bugs the last time I checked. Look up their names to see if they still have an account.

Are all these 405 or 398 really your friends? I'd ask myself how many friends in real life do I have... that is the real deal!
Facebook is not a place to make a contest of "friends" but a place where you can exchange ideas with other people no matter their race, color, religion etc.

this is normal, happens to me all the time
if you like, there's an application on Facebook called: outoflove , or search for (who deleted me)
it will show the people who removed you and the people who disappeared from your friends list

Maybe seven of your Facebook friends de-activated their Facebook accounts and plan to reactivate them later on? Then your friend count number will go back to it's original number when they re-activate their accounts. I have the same problem all the time (well a lot of the time) bu there is usually a reasonable explanation for this occurrance and the good news is you have n't been deleted/blocked by anyone. Hope I helped!
