She said that the strongest predictor is how close one was at the peak of their friendship when the unfriending happened, and people may be more bothered and saddened if your best friend unfriends you.

We meditate to calm the mind and perceive inner self through spirituality. On the other hand, we also meditate to relieve stress and ease other lifestyle disorders.
Another factor includes being less negatively affected if difficulties were discussed between the friends before the unfriending and if the person unfriended talked about it with others after the unfriending.
The research showed that unfriending happens more often to friends who were once close than to those who are acquaintances.
The researchers say, despite the preponderance of weak ties throughout online social networks, these findings help to place unfriending within the greater context of relationship dissolution.
The study was published in the 2014 47th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences.
