First of all, I dont understand those that replied to put the op down. Maybe you're trying to help her keep things in perspective? Belittling isn't the best way to do that.

Also, what's with the mentality that there is somehow a duality between events that happen "on the internet" and events that happen "in real life"? The first is just a subset of the second. If StarFish sees her friend taking her down from his "top friends list" as a sign that she is unloved, it is just as valid as if she thought the same thing because of something else he did "in real life".

That said, StarFish, you shouldn't take not being on his list seriously. Rethink how you get your sense of self value. If this upset you, then maybe you get too much of your sense of value from others. It doesnt matter whether or not you were just a ************buddy to him, you are much more to yourself. Respect yourself more than to care how he ranks you as a friend.
