Is it normal to delete someone on facebook if you're mad?

90% Normal

I used to be friends with this person, but they were just too toxic. We "mutually" agreed that we needed to be separated and I would like to keep it that way. More than a month after this decision she continues to post Facebook statuses that are clearly about me.

Is it OK if I delete her so I can blow off some steam (maturely) and also as a symbol that I have eliminated her from my life or is it best that I hide her? Is it normal?

    Delete. But not to send a message to her. Delete for your own sake because you don't need someone like this in your life. Move on.

    Sure, if you don't want to talk to her anymore you might as well delete her. I delete people sometimes for some reason or another.

    It reminds me of when in elementary school you would get mad at your friend and say "Your not invited to my birthday anymore"

      Yes, I agree. It seems rather ridiculous but I've been trying my best to act mature about this situation

    Facebook is symbolic. Deleting a friend is like removing toxic people from your life. They can still message you, but what they do isn't part of your world anymore. Bet it felt good, didn't it ;)

    I have had multiple girls get angry at me because of different things.. Mainly over feelings towards each other! I find them adding me back a few months later when they've blown off some steam and results in them feeling & looking pretty stupid. Just hide her from your news feed. Post what you feel and deny its about her if asked.
