from the people on your friends list? It's like, some of them, after that first time, you never hear from them again...:huh:

    Yep, I never used to delete anyone but now if they can't be bothered to interact I will delete as my timeline is cluttered with them. I'd rather concentrate on those that interact and support me. I'm happy with occasional interaction, doesn't have to be a constant thing!

    cut them. if they are not interacting with you then they are just eavesdropping on you.

    I cut 85 people in one sitting once. It felt horrible and wonderful all at once.

  • I try to talk with everyone!

    BUT I will say that there some who post more than others... I respond to everyone who posts on my page... It should be a mutual thing! Like any good friendship!

    Yeah one person on my FL opened up one day in an emotionally overwhelmed way about this site not being appropriate for certain issues and not being able to handle reading about certain disturbing things, ironically to this thread it was cutting (but of the self injurious nature).

    He lost 78 friends that day and was panicking as he saw everyone unfriending him for being what they called "insensitive" with his vent, but a few of us stuck by him & told him he'd have some friends left and we'd be there to support him. When I checked on him later he said his shorter FL was more manageable and more helpful to him. The end.

    I try to interact as I see people and they interact with me.
    If they don`t I don`t really worry over it.

    I was going to say NO but I was thinking it was the other kind of action :laugh:

    I have a few good ones and I try to comment and cheer my friends on when I get a chance.

    I agree 100% on the interaction, I try and interact with my friends as often as possible.

    I guess I don't get the cut thing, unless you were at the limit of friends and needed to make room. Is it just about the number?

    If you have 150 friends and 100 are active and then you cut 50, you still have 100 active friends. What is the harm of keeping the 50? Maybe they are on sabatical, or trapped in a well, or just got lazy for 6 months.

    Never quite understood, but I am old. And often easily confused.

    I don't have a lot of friends, so there is no excuse for me to not talk to them...some of them intimidate me with their awesomeness and success.

    I interact when it seems necessary. If someone has something to say, and posts a written status, I'll comment if I have anything to contribute. I'm not going to write "Yay! Well done!" every time someone completes a day or loses 0.01lb or "burned 31 calories - walking to shop". If someone posts a particularly good workout, or has a big loss, or reaches a milestone, I'll congratulate them, but I'm not saying "well done" to everyone three times a day whenever something appears in my feed. It seems I'm quite the opposite of people on this thread, the ones I delete are the ones who insist on commenting on every tiny thing and make my phone flash at me with an alert every 20 seconds for an hour after I complete my diary for the day. If you want to comment on something in my diary, or ask a question about my diet or about a recipe when my day completion post pops up, then by all means do, I'm happy to talk about it, but posting "well done" after each day without even looking at its contents is meaningless, it isn't inspiring, it's just annoying.

    hahaha I thought the same thing when I read the post,

    I think it is all about how many friends someone has, I only have 9 friends on here so I like to comment or message everyone at least once a day, but some people have close to 100 friends which will make it almost impossible to keep up with everyone and all their posts. So for some people I don't mind when I comment for them and they rarely comment back or else these people would have to spend their whole day reading everyone's post and commenting. I would personally rather 10 good friends than 100 people. If you want to add me feel free, I log everyday love giving and receiving support and like I said my FL is small so I still have room to give attention lol

    I really don't notice much when people aren't cheering me on. I typically delete people if they haven't logged in for a long time or if I find their posts/comments particularly annoying. Otherwise, I just figure that they're too busy or maybe have a bigger FL than me so they might not have seen my update on their news feed.

    I give a lot of leeway because I have times where I don't interact much either. But basically, I'm not a collectors item. If you add me and never, ever talk to me I will eventually delete you.

    I'm still sorta new here and I've already had to delete friends, I don't see the point if there isn't any interaction. I give everyone a chance. But I don't want creepers and I don't want to just be someone's cheerleader when they could care less about being mine.
