Being Deleted/Deleting Friends

KrazyAsianNic

I wouldn't know if I were deleted. I don't necessarily look AT my friend list, but at what people post and I see on my MFP homepage. It doesn't bother me if they did because at this point I really wouldn't notice unless I did comment on them a lot. However, now and then I do look through and send messages to people who haven't been on a while and I've deleted one person because the only reason they added me seems to be to try to sell me some shake thing.

I do consider deleting people who haven't been on for 6+ months and telling them if they return they can re-add me, but I don't think I"ll have the hard to when the time comes. I just want people who are trying or using my support. At this point, it's not like there's a limit on friends.

I've never deleted anyone. I don't know if I have been by anyone else. Not sure I'd even know how to check if i had. Or know who would of deleted me.

Have you ever been deleted for no apparent reason, or even after you try and reach out to someone? I have. Has anyone DONE this, and what were your reasons?

Yes I have and usually I delete people because they are not active on here, or expect people to motivate them but do nothing in return.

Whenever you give support or (positive) comments but never get anything back.

I haven't been here long and have no idea if I have been deleted by anyone. And if I have, it doesn't bother me.

I confess I have deleted two people so far. One, I felt the motives were more self/product promotion rather than a sincere interest in learning a new way of life and getting healthy for the long run. The other was a personality clash, I guess.

I delete frequently for various reasons. Of all the people who have deleted me only one made me sad because he was awesome and had great information.

I dont want to be deleted and I dont delete anyone. Not nice! Plus I want as many friends as possible! Makes me feel like I have a lot of support behind me

GlitterMamma11

I've deleted people that are never on or never interact with me. I also deleted one lady because she was really pushy about seeing my food log. If I wanted people to see it I would of made it public...

I've been deleted by a few people for no apparent reason! Tried to find out why and if I posted something to offend them, but no answer. Strange! I don't "play" on here too much, so maybe I'm boring? I don't know but I just try to move on. Now, I will delete someone if they have not been online for more than a month. Does that make me a bad person?

Being deleted for no reason pisses me off.
However, I have deleted, and made it clear why I was doing and wished anyone I deleted the best.

I've been deleted & have deleted. The 1's I've deleted is because they haven't logged in for about 8 months. Dare say they probably won't be coming back.

The 1 that deleted me probably did so because I made a comment about people constantly every day putting what they lost DAILY or when they had a loss which was like every other day - which irked me because they never put if they had gained, now come on.....I'm sure they had gains so why not be true to yourself & log it when you did not just when you had a loss *rant over*

I do it to clean it up too, in activity, non support or when I look at their diaries and they eat CRAP! and then post "why am I not losing" It honestly drives me nuts. Some people just irritate me, and I dont even know them! I delete the ones who "whorship" these people as well. )) Oh god dont get me started on the ones I see eating 500 cals and saying the have a eating disorder, or the ones who think this is a dating site!

Calipalm

I delete people who burn 1500 calories in 30 minutes or who log 'standing' as exercise.

I deleted someone off my friends list who logged, brushing my teeth, doing my makeup and doing my hair as excercise!!! I mean it was like 2 calories brushing her teeth but seriously? Lol. And then she always talked about making out with her boyfriend and once I found out she was like 14 I was like okay DELETE. Lol.

I only delete if they haven't logged in after a week or they stop offering encouragement.

WHO CARES!!!!!!!!

People come and people go. On the internet, it happens more often than in real life. It's just how it goes. I rarely take it personally.

tmbowen12

Sometimes I friend people and then realize they're notorious on the forums for being idiots or they are just collecting women on their friends list. I also just delete people who haven't logged in for a long time or don't ever talk... I like to keep a small friends list.

this too!!

I don't normally delete anyone, unless they PMO to the point where I just don't want to even deal with it. I have been deleted by people (especially on Facebook) because either I am inactive with some of the games or because I have an issue with something and have a tendency to be blunt about how I feel. Some people don't like honesty, but it's canny because they don't want to be lied to. I am better at writing than I am speaking, especially when it comes to relaying what I feel. I guess no matter how candy coated my words are, some just don't grasp what I am saying and take it as critisism when I am not being like that. I'm misunderstood. Always have been, and always will be. It doesn't bother me, though, when I am deleted. I love people and love making friends, but if they aren't willing to respect where I am coming from or take the time to ask why I feel a certain way, then they weren't really my friend anyway.
