I just lost a friend... Because of my stupid macho ego. I deleted said posts. It wasn't worth... | Friends with People Totally Different from Me

Oh please 🙄 her loss post what you like. Anyone who deletes you / stops being your friend over a post was never a friend

This happened to me once it was very disappointing but eye opening

I didn't see what happened but I had a few people block me because I posted my guns before 🤷 it is what it is. Not everyone can see past a disagreement I suppose

No. You were blocked by someone who was unaccepting of differences of opinions and beliefs. That isn’t a friend, that’s an acquaintance.

Friends don’t censor each other.

I do not know what happened, but from what i have observed of you, i am assuming it might be related to your lifestyle, maybe about bearing arms. If i am wrong i apologise.

She threw away a friendship because of that, then i would say let it go. You have every right to live your life the way you want, as long as no one is hurt.

Also she has to realize, she cannot mold everyone to her liking. That is selfish, if not narcissistic.

I am sorry if these words hurt you. I tell it as i see it.

I admire how you've handled this and I'm sorry you're hurting. Give her some time, maybe she'll reach out once emotions have settled down 💜

I looked at the comments first to gather ideas as to what happened. Politics? She LOST YOU, buddy. Your content is your own to post, so she had the choice to be an adult and scroll on by. I never make political posts, but sometimes make my opinions known elsewhere. If only you could've seen my inbox full of nasty hate filled vulgarity from leftist friends before the blocks came after the "so called" incitement at the Capitol. 😳
The party of acceptance wasn't so accepting, and you know what... they WEREN'T FRIENDS. To hell with those types on either side.... 🗑️

She blocked you over that gun post?

I appreciate your care, regret, sensitivity, and desire. We will always have differences, and we have choices in how we decide to deal with differences. I can't say where one should just say no, I can't deal with it anymore, or where *they* should accept, but politics can bring out ugly sides that way and even if we do have differences politically, I think you know I barely bring up, it's for me because I respect you as a friend.

It may be your friendship came to a natural end together, and that's difficult. My heart is out to you. ❤️

I remember your gun post and wasn't that impressed either but never once thought of deleting or blocking you
You are to nice for that ❤️

With respect, seems to me like an odd notion of "friend".

In my mind, at least, when they find differences, friends discuss things, tolerate things, even argue about things. They don't block people.

No more political comments from me. No more Right/Left stirring the pot. I value friendships more than that. I'm just gonna 🤗❤️🙏😇 and say, God Bless.

Yeah but was it worth deleting posts is she coming back to you, is she still your friend???

LunarOrbit · 61-69, M

Sorry bud. You seem to be a good guy. Hope she sees it as well

Sometimes you got to be like Elsa and just let it go.

Did ya whisper “montana”

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

Reading the comments, you have a right to post what you want
If the person lost someone to gun violence, perhaps that could be a reason?
Personally, just posting gun pics seems like an odd reason to block.
When my friends post stuff that I don't agree with I just scroll on by. Some expections for extreme behavior.

You have to be who you are, my friend. 🤗 It’s hard right now for some to love around all the polarization, but we have to be our authentic selves and try wherever we can. ❤️
