Deleting Friends

One reason is over 3 weeks no activity and no reason why...I'll write on their wall and if I get no reply back I delete after a week (will only keep them if I know them pesronally)

Also if they aren't actually be healthy themselves and I have told them (and others) certain things aren't good but they are still doing it, then it's goodbye time. I can only do so much and I need healthy friends, not friends who are constantly doing things that are bad for them and know it and then complain about it...

Naked pictures. If you haven't sent me and revealing pictures...I'm calling my mafia men to get you.

I already told you....no junk shots!!! jeezzz.....\m/

For me the two killers are no communication and constant negativity.

I know that people have really busy lives and that's fine. I don't comment every day either but if there is no communication for a month then I delete them.

As for the negativity, I understand that some people have problems/confident issues/whatever but I struggle with people who *****, moan and complain all the time about it. Everybody has difficult times and this weight loss thing does get tricky from time to time but constantly whining won't change that. You have to take action and a negative attitude will only make what is going to be a long and sometimes difficult journey, much harder, as well as dragging those around you down

Pretty much the things you mentioned, plus negativity or foul language . I can handle most stuff and like to both encourage and be encouraged. No hard feelings to anyone that may get deleted, but I'm in it for me too! If you can't keep it positive... Gone.

Inactivity for a month.

Constant complaining with no action taken to correct it.

No interaction.

Too much drama. I've been out of high school for too long. Not judging, just can't relate anymore.

Highly active or lost in an ED. On the hard road to recovery with bumps, I'm all in. Status updates with each purge, no.


I take the weed whacker to my FL often.

If they are not supportive back -

I deleted one who thought this was My Fitness Fan - she never gave any feedback to anyone and basked in the admiration of guys who thought she was super hot and sucked up to her.

Gone!

Lack of logging in;
Lack of interaction;
If they have a huge friends list, I often delete. I figure they won't miss me;
Their posts are too negative or too vulgar;
And sometimes I delete bc they just don't seem... bright

Cause I can.

I had one that sent me 19 messages asking why I deleted her...

That is insane! WOW.. what a creeper!

Same reasons as most. Lack of any interaction and extreme negativity are the worst to me, though.

Hey, Jeanine, can I have my Weed Whacker back? I need to prune some too! :flowerforyou:

i usually delete if they wont show me their bewbs..

I may be going out on a limb here but I'm going to guess based on the current profile pics that rm830 and Mama_Mila are NOT gettting deleted from your list.

mmmm becouse they dont said a word in a month!

I hate the "screennamewhatever hasnt logged in for two weeks". Dont waste my news feed with your lack of committment. Unless youre on vacation then you get a pass.

Only if there are extended periods of inactivity, like they last logged in 3 months ago.

Someone deleted me because of that. I think it's funny. I mean....perhaps you should shoot me a supportive email...asking if everything's ok or something like that. Clearly, to each their own....if you feel you need someone to hold your hand as you go through this "program" then I do hope you find those types of people. Maybe instead of feeling like you need the support all the time, why not check and see if that person needs your support too...? Just food for thought.

What reasons do you delete friends on MFP? I like to keep a small group so I can easily support, motivate and get to know people. Here are some reasons why I have deleted:

1. Not logging in consistently. Long gaps in activity.
2. No communication. I don't expect daily; but some is necessary.
3. Bashing on other people. I can take it if you bash on me; but don't knock other people (I'm protective like that).

I think that's about it. This was prompted because I deleted someone and she asked me why. She had constant gaps in her log ins. She would frequently go weeks at a time w/o activity.

Same here!
