Tired of deadbeats on my list!

I get those people who say add me! I'm a great motivator! I add and. Then. Nothing! I go down my list everyday and say something encouraging, even if it's just great job!! I feel like I'm a great motivator, I love to look at the lighter side of life! A little humor goes a long way!

    If I may, I've seen a rash of these threads lately and I have to say it usually doesn't go over too well. Posting a thread publicly calling people you're already friends with "deadbeats" won't garner many new requests, because people don't want to wind up on the wrong end of the next callout thread.

    Relationships take time to cultivate, even online ones. Offer something about who you are on your own feed, add judiciously, and you'll eventually get to know people better. Good luck!

    I wish I had problems like this. What a charmed life to even have something like this on your radar.

    Ugh! You are right! I didn't realize how insensitive and childish this sounds. I have wonderful people on my list that work hard to motivate! I hate that I posted this now...well, it's done now. Any suggestions on how I can delete this one would be greatly appreciated!

    Well, I feel like an *kitten* now. :)

    What do you think you're doing, with all this changing your opinion and admitting it?
    ARE YOU TRYING TO BREAK THE INTERNET?

    Honestly, don't worry about it. People will back off once they read your second post and it will die in the forum abyss.

    Just wanted to say to my lovely friend that I think we all knew that it wouldn't apply to us, but thanks for posting a status to make sure we knew! You are right, you are a great friend to have and are a great motivator! :flowerforyou:

    I'm pleased with your response as well, because with a username like that I assumed you would see her initial post and "EXTERMINATE....EXTERMINATE!"

    I've just never considered people commenting on my exercise and diet all that big of a deal.

    But maybe I'm just crazy.

    Because of MFP and how much people seem to really want that support, I've started commenting to everyone at the gym. I tell everyone I see "nice set!" or "Good form!" - even those across the gym. In fact, it takes me about six hours to run 20 minutes on the treadmill because I'm so buy supporting people.

    On the way home, I shout at joggers "Way to go!"

    Strangely, my real life Friends List count remains at 7. And three of those are cats.

    i like that it took all of 2 hours and 3 posts for you to reconsider your initial stance.
    did something set you off?
