Send to a Friend

Do you ever get a little annoyed when someone you don't know very well likes everything you post on Facebook?

I suppose I’m kind of a typical millennial in the fact that I’ve been a Facebook user for years now and over those years I’ve probably acquired a few too many “friends”.

One friend in particular is a middle age guy who attended my alma mater a few years ago as a continuing ed student and we were in the same class and did a group project together. He was nice and genuinely harmless but would sometimes go a little out of his way to tell me how nice I looked on a given day despite being happily married with an adorable daughter.

Anyway, he added me on Facebook and I accepted because I didn’t see the harm in it and also I didn’t want to damage his feelings. He told me he had low self esteem because of his weight and having “nerdy” interests for which he had been teased about for most of his life.

Now for the past three years, this guy has “liked” just about every. single. thing. I have ever posted on Facebook. Every status, video, and photo tagged I can predict that he will acknowledge it within a half hour. I haven’t spoken to him at all since my junior year of college when we worked together that one time. For a while it really annoyed me so I blocked him from seeing my updates and now I’m considering deleting him because personally it gets on my nerves and several of my friends have asked who he is, including my boyfriend one time. :/

How do you guys feel about these kinds of things? Clearly it’s his right to “like” whatever he wants but do these kinds of people ever annoy you?
