I have removed more than 3/4 of my friends. If you're not longer on my friends list, and you're seeing this somehow and were wondering why you were removed, it may be one of:
* I don't enjoy interacting with you
* I don't remember who you are
* You were from a different time in my life
* I can't remember where we met
* Thinking about you brings me bad memories
* We have nothing in common anymore
* It's awkward, and I'm not going to be the one who initiates correcting that

Being removed does not necessarily mean that I dislike you. More than likely it's just that we drifted apart. If this is upsetting, maybe try contacting me somehow.

This means that if you are still on my friends list that I remember who you are, I remember how we met, and I have enjoyed you as a person to the point that I'd probably be willing to talk again (or that I still talk to you). Feel free to reach out if you want.
