I know a guy who owns the worst app ever created. 

It tells him whenever someone unfriends him on Facebook. When a person chooses to leave his world, he gets notified. 

He says that he has it because it's "interesting" to know who drops him, but you can tell it really bothers him.

He spends hours and hours wondering why they did it, and I'm sure he send messages to people to see if he offended them somehow, or to ask what he could have done differently during their virtual friendship. 

This is the worst app in the world for a few reasons: 

=====

1) It's a huge time suck 

The time spent checking the app and going through scenarios in your head as to why you lost a person is time that should have been spent on positive pursuits, like working on your dream. 

2) It's a confidence killer 

Every time you hear the ding! from the app, it's reinforcing in your head that you did something wrong. You'll start to second-guess everything that you do online, since you don't want to risk losing others.

I prefer to have the PayPal app installed on my phone and to hear that beautiful notification than to be notified why someone who lives 3000 miles away and who I'll probably never meet in real life unfriended me on a social media network. 

3) It plays head games with you 

It's a lot like when you get dumped by someone. It's easy to go through scenarios in your head: what could I have done differently? Is there someone else in the picture? Why doesn't she like me??? You can drive yourself nuts worrying about stuff like this. Best to not invite it into your head. 

=====

Look: when you play in the online space, people are going to drop you. Just last night I noticed that an influencer who I've been connected with for a few years on Facebook dropped me. I admit it was a little surprising, since I'm not aware of anything that would have caused him to do that. But I didn't go grab a bowl of ice cream and cry myself to sleep in my pillow. 

People drop others for all sorts of reasons: they hit their maximum number of Facebook friends, they didn't like that you posted your support for a certain politician or shared a pic of your bagel, they have big thumbs and accidentally hit the unfriend button by mistake. Who knows? 

With my former influencer friend, and any others who choose to leave me, I think: "Ah well, his loss" and move on. Ain't nobody got time for that ...

If you'd rather spend your time growing your business instead of worrying about unfriendings, you could be a fit for my next 10 Clients In 90 Days group program ...
