I belong to a very small FB group. There are six of us in the group and three of them don't always post.
One, in particular has never really liked me and ignores me in the posts. Occasionally she will post a "Heart" but most of the times she doesn't say anything. I sent her baby and children's gifts earlier this year(she lives in America) and she did thank me publicly on the FB group page but then recently sent me a message to say that she had lost my address and had sent all of the "thank-you" notes out to those who gave her gifts to her newborn but not to me because she lost my address.
I am getting the message that she doesn't want me in the group. She contributes to the other ladies posts but not mine.
The other day it was a friend of mine's anniversary of her stillborn baby. I posted on the group page "Thinking of you today".
I noted a few minutes later that she had seen my post(it comes up "seen by ______ _) Then, on my friend's personal FB page she said the same thing ""Thinking of you today". The other ladies commented on my post (in the group) but not her.
She does this often..... I went through a tragedy a few years ago and posted this on the page but she didn't comment but she comments on others.
I am religious and follow a faith strongly but she doesn't and I think this could be a contributing factor..Yet the other girls in the group are religious,, like me. I have tried to support her and encourage her for a long time but it has never been thanked or reciprocated.
I have stopped posting because I got the hint that I was not included in the group. The other ladies are ok but now I keep in touch with them via PM.
Do you think when you are ignored in a FB group by one member it is time to leave?
No, I won't leave if I was ignored by one person. Not everyone gets along. It is not a perfect world.
This may sound harsh but does it really matter she doesn't respond to your posts? The other ladies do and I suspect they would be hurt if you left without an explanation considering the size of the group. Concentrate on the women you have a relationship with and enjoy them.
I think you also need to be a little less sensitive as you may be reading nuances that aren't there. Maybe the woman simply doesn't know what to say to you or she has disagreed with some of your previous posts and doesn't want to cause an argument so she simply doesn't respond.
I think it's easy to take things personally when we're already feeling sensitive, especially on things like social media groups. But in all honesty I wouldn't let the actions of one person ruin something that is special to me. Enjoy your group, take what support you can from it and don't let it worry you.
Thanks..I've known her since 2006. We met on a group for women who were ttc.....(long term infertility)..We both lost babies and we were both ttc at the same time. She went on to have two babies and I was not able to. Me and another lady are the only ones in the group who haven't had children and I sense that we are not welcome because of this. But I do understand the point you are making and thank you for it. I will rejoin. If she doesn't like me, it is her problem.
