Is there any way to prevent others from seeing your Steam status without removing them as a friend? For example: If I want to play Borderlands 2 without letting some friends know, is there any way to hide my status to prevent them from knowing I'm playing it?

Open your friends list and change your status to Offline, and that should be what you need. You can't do it for specific friends, but if you're just trying to play solo that will do the trick.

Click "add non-steam game" then add something like notepad. You can then rename it whatever you want to make it less suspicious. Run it from steam and it will show you as in a non-steam game called whatever you decide to name it. Then run the game you actually want to play and your status will remain in the non-steam "game" you launched first. |

Other than going offline entirely (ie, on your friend's list), no. |

You can set your status to offline after you join the game with someone. So there will be a minute or so window where they will be able to see what you are doing so not really a perfect solution. |
