    My dog eats her own poop sometimes, and she's super popular.

    Seriously... is there anything in this friendship for me? No? I didnt think so. Im sorry that I am not a weight loss tool, but actually a real human being.

    ^ Love this line. !

    Word! I haven't declined an invite, yet, but sometimes it seems so overwhelming, like ... I think a friend best described a date this way once, like "a gaping pit of emotional need." I don't want that kind of responsibility! Yes, I've lost the weight I wanted to lose, but I still have loads of my own crap to deal with. I'll help out where I can, but I'm not a cheerleader or hand-holder.

    No, your membership on MFP does not automatically enter you into a popularity contest; however, some people use it more for the social aspect.

    Some people like to keep their friends list small.

    Some people like having hundreds of people on it.

    Some people delete friends who haven't logged in for a while.

    Some people delete friends who they don't feel a connection to.

    Guess what? I deny friend requests from people who say I inspire them.
    Does that make me mean?

    NO!

    It makes me human. I post encouraging and helpful things (sometimes) and share my progress and what works for me on the forums. My wall is for fun. My choice. I'm an adult.

    So are you.

    So don't get mad if someone doesn't want to add you.

    Don't judge people that don't use MFP the same way you do.

    Don't get upset if someone deletes you. Do you REALLY want a friend who keeps you out of a sense of obligation?
    Personally, I'd feel awful if someone kept me just because they felt like they had to in order not to hurt my feelings.

    /end rant

    You are all beautiful and perfect snowflakes. Well, except for those of you who aren't.

    Quoted because it bears repeating!

    btw Cory...I totally stalk you through mutual friends cuz you're too damn awesome for your own good :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    I tend to deny friend requests that say Im an inspiration as well. Sometimes I get snarky back because it bothers me so much.

    Hi I have a tonnnnnnnnnn of weight to lose and I want you for motivation!!
    I have so far to go and could totally use you on my team!
    Youre incredible and I want you around for inspiration!
    I could never do this without you around!
    OMG YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLE I NEED YOU!!!

    Seriously... is there anything in this friendship for me? No? I didnt think so. Im sorry that I am not a weight loss tool, but actually a real human being.

    OMG you are liek, soooo my inspiration! Let me USE YOU!

    Nah, I'm kidding. I think I just requested you because you were being hilarious and awesome on the forums.

    Also, can this thread please be stickied? Because I really thought it would be common knowledge, but apparently not.
