:grumble:

I try hard to post a word of encouragement and yes I know people are busy, but so am I and I try. Its seems to be only some of the women on my friends list, the men always say something.. I dont understand what I have done to upset these women.. I am on this site to lose weight only. Thanks for letting me vent. I guess you cant please everyone..

    If they aren't interacting with you, then maybe you should just delete them. There is no reason to collect friends just to have a high number.

    Don't delete, never ever ever delete. It would throw off your world. Every time someone deletes me, a new hole in my heart is created and I mope for days. I wonder what I could have done differently to get them to be my best friend for life.

    Does this seriously bother you that much??? :( I try to say something to everyone when I can. Today I am all upon here but tomorrow I may not be. Doesn't mean i don't care or that I'm not there. I respond to every and all messages and comments. If I see someone down i do my best to make them smile.

    My heart is fragile...please don't. I would forever wander the MFP hallways trying to replace what we had.

    You are un-deletable. (is that a word?) :wink:

    I try to keep my friends list low so I can manage. I'm due for a good cleaning of my island. If they don't interact, what is the point in keeping them?

    Sometimes I just don't have another "atta-girl/guy" in me. Sorry.

    i have just today decided to start to talk to people on this site and iam not sure why they don't talk to you but dont take it so hard and worry about it ,i think your 9 pounds lost is a fantastic amount, and to you i say keep up the good work and dont worry about hearing words of encouraement from them and just remember why you wanted to loose weight in the first place.

    I've deleted some who after I added them never commented. One sided "friendships" are too much work. Maybe a few new friends in the mix will change things up!

    Being one of those that sees your post everyday, I appreciate them.. But, I wouldn't let it get to you when some don't reply to them. Not everyone is as open to posting as others.. You just keep your happy thoughts going and keep being the person you are..:happy:

    Because just like in real life everyone listens to W.I.F.M. (What's In it For Me!!)
    Women could care less how well other women are doing but men see it as an opportunity to flirt and have random conversations w multiple women... from the grungy girl to the classy sassy girl.. It's really that simple. :flowerforyou:

    Who knows what makes some people tick!

    I try to be supportive & encourage my MFP peeps because I truly want to, therefore I really don't expect anything in return.

    Most of the time, it does come back to you. Other times, perhaps not, but who really knows what is going on in other peoples lives?

    It probably isn't about you at all, or they wouldn't be friends with you either :flowerforyou:

    I have quite a few people (ok, over half) who have never commented on what i post there. Not my food.. Nothing. I really don't care. I just don't go out of my way to post anything on their's.

    And thats how you get the support from your friends. When you need them to talk dirty to you, you hijack someone elses thread and then you shamelessly advertise for dirty talk. But for reals...don't ever, ever, ever delete anyone.

    I'd rather people give me an occasional word of sincere encouragement than write "good job" and "way to go" and "nice burn" on every single thing that I post. As such, I only post when I am being sincere, when I'm REALLY impressed with a person's burn or weight loss, or I'm genuinely interested in what their post says. If I read a post and don't feel compelled to respond, I'm not going to type something phoney just for the sake of typing something, and if my friends are that way too, all the better.

    If someone has been on my FL for quite some time and they've never responded...ever...they get the axe when I decide to go through my list and weed out the non-supportive ones. I sometimes have pictures or personal stuff that I don't want people having access too if they're just stalking or trolling. If you're supportive occasionally, you're safe but I like to get to know all of my friends and you can't do that without some input from the other so those people will be deleted. Sorry, but I need support, not just a higher number of friends on my list.
