Childish deletions

Noogynoogs · April 2014

Has anyone had friends on here that have deleted you for no reason?

surfinbird_1981 · April 2014

No idea :laugh: probably.

Sinisterly · April 2014

Don't know, probs lol

EddieHaskell97 · April 2014

Yes, and then I hacked a drone, and "deleted" them.

runforestrun35 · April 2014

Yup, their loss!

HunterKiller_deleted · April 2014

yes. Mostly for stupid misunderstandings

moya_rargh · April 2014

Yes. I'm prone to bouts of depression and I understand that they might need the most tip-top and supportive of friends, so that's their choice.

I've only ever deleted one person after stating that the only people who seemed to find me attractive (another area of my life, nothing to do with MFP) were 250-300lbs and I got an agitated response from someone who was angered by my update, stating that "I'm 260 and I'm HELLA cute" even though she expected a man to be 6ft plus and jacked. The ongoing double standard led to me having to delete them. Ho hum.

Probably. Do I care or remember who they were: Nope.

Timelordlady85 · April 2014

not sure, but I don't keep inactive people on my friends list though.

jennifries227 · April 2014

Undoubtedly. But whatever. The only person I ever deleted was someone who I felt was childish and seemed to have difficulty understanding how to eat even after 2 years of logging... I decided she wasn't conductive to my weight loss and was just annoying me, so I deleted her. I didn't bother telling her, and she never asked, so whatever again.

Yeap. I guess they did not appreciate i did not click on the ''like'' button or congratulated them everytime they ate under or at their calorie goal. That's not my job as a friend here. They are supposed to know why they are here, and these reasons should be a reward by themselves. I am happy to see they succeed, but i see my ''job'' here more as to cheer them up, listen to them, try to make them feel better about themselves in general, share tips, etc. Oh well i guess it's why i only have one friend here ( maybe i should check she did not delete me right now lol)

askeates · April 2014

I don't know for sure, but I'm sure there are.... Honestly though, if there is someone on my friends list that has been inactive for more than 3 months, I typically remove them. There is a core group of people that I communicate with daily, and some a few times a week.

elusive_design · April 2014

Oh I'm sure I have.. tbh I probably didn't notice. >.>

George_Baileys_Ghost · April 2014

Nope. I'm fairly certain they had reasons for deleting me, and I don't immediately assume they're childish. Sometimes people just aren't a good fit. If I'm on somebody's FL, and they feel that way I'd hate it if they kept me around out of some foolish sense of obligation. I certainly wouldn't.

randomtai · April 2014

Different strokes for different folks. I have deleted people and people have deleted me. However sometimes I do feel like this:

elusive_design · April 2014

@Random; I have to admit.. that made me snicker at the wrong moment with a cup of hot coffee.. Damn you!

laurie04427 · April 2014

I've deleted people because I found them grating on my nerves. For various reasons. I'm sure they either didn't notice or had no clue why I deleted them.

I haven't noticed anyone delete me but if they do I'll assume it's for the same reason.

ihad · April 2014

Everyone gets deleted at some point. I assume they have their reasons and don't really worry about it.

mummma · April 2014

yeh ive been deleted by many when i have a period of depression, i have ptsd and sometimes life can feel like living hell and i might not wanna log cals etc... i dont care who deletes me. just happy that many do stick around. x

Calliope610 · April 2014

Whose to say "childish"??? I'm sure the deletions that I received were based on some incompatibility and were only done after some consideration and thought. The same process I use when resorting to deleting people on my FL. Besides, I don't "own" my friends. They can do whatever they like.

Chezzie84 · April 2014

Don't know but since I only have 1 person on my friends list from real life, it doesn't really bother me much and since that person is my mom, that's not going to happen any time soon.
