Why add people on FB when you're just going to delete them?

[se999]

I rarely ever send friend requests, it's usually others who send them to me and I just click accept/reject. I've noticed that relatives or some other people would add me, then when I come across their profile a while late, I find out that they've defriended me. I don't post any religious or political posts, so what gives?

I don't really care at all that they have deleted me, I just want to know why?

The only way you'll know that is if you ask them, lol.
But I know what you mean, I have had the same thing happen.

Only the people who defriended you know the answer to that. Sometimes people with a lot of friends just decide they have too many and delete a bunch of people. How they decide who to delete varies.

I have had this. They are just sad people who get some kind of thrill from making friends with people then defriending them, probably because they have few friends in real life and want to experience it, eh.
