A Formal Apology

This goes to the 178* friends of mine on here who may or may not read this, and to others free to add me if they so desire.

When you accepted my offer to add you (or vice-versa), I had every intention of being there to support you on both good days and bad. I fully admit to failing in this area, as a life-changing event took place at the start of December and it has consumed a great deal of my "free" time to be able to accomplish that goal.

I don't want to see you go, but if you feel you need to remove me as a friend I'll completely understand. I've only gone through my friends list once and removed anyone who had not logged in for more than a month or if they no longer had an account on here. It wasn't an easy task, and I know it's not an easy task for everyone.

It has just been very difficult for me to "be there" for my friends -- both close to me IRL and on here -- when having to deal with the ramifications of a negative event. And if you need someone there for you more frequently to cheer you on when you're doing great or to give you a "You'll get 'em tomorrow!" when you have an off-day, I'm probably not the person you need as a friend on here.

I just wanted you to know my intentions were good when we befriended, and I fully admit to failing as a friend.

I am sorry.

    I hope they all understand.
    We are all on a journey with ups and downs and I hope you are on an up now.
    Friends should be friends and there to support whether its been a day, a week, or 5 years
    so
    Welcome back.
    I hope you are feeling better now and life is treating you better and I hope your friends understand that you need them at the moment so it's their turn to be there for you!
    wishing you health and happiness

    I hope they understand. Sometimes life gets in the way. I hope whatever happened is getting easier to deal with now and you're back on you journey soon. Sending a *hug* and wishing you well

    Bless you, I am cutting down my friends as I feel GUILTY for not being there for everyone, I dont get time to log on and answer messages... I also need time to post my food details........

    Good for you, me I have to cut away, not going to have any more friends as I truly find it hard to keep up with those that I have!! It is hard work, you have so many and are doing an amazing job, good for you, but me, I am not as amazing as you, keep up the good work, I am sure everyone appreciates it x

    I've started cutting friends and denying friend requests recently because I don't have time to respond either(and I only have 48). Life happens. You can only stretch yourself so far. I think you're fine.
