Do you share a lot of personal stuff with them?
Or it's only about motivation and support throughout your fitness journey?

    some of the people here understand my insecurities and thoughts on this whole journey better than the people I see face to face all the time.. I definitely consider some to be great friends.

    I'm closer than they realize.

    Many nights I spend just outside their windows... :glasses:

    I avoid strong smelling soaps, so that they never realize just how close I am sometimes.

    One of mine got to hear all about my hooking up with a kid from work............I needed a younger persons thoughts and I knew exactly who to ask. Plus he told me exactly what I wanted to hear :)

    There are only one or two that I have had the opportunity to get to know. Many are great motivators but I have not had the time to get to know them as well.

    Considering that 99.9% of my friends on MFP live in different countries to me, I'm not as close to them as I would like to be. pouty.gif

    exactly this. There are a couple Ive really connected with and make a point to talk to everyday. I know that even if MFP disappeared one day, we would stay in touch.

    Some I want to snuggle, some I want to get sloppy drunk with, and some I want to take to the gym with me so they can kick my @ss.

    I was thinking about this yesterday. I actually have very few..ok...no...close friends. I was going through a really tough time and didn't have anyone I could talk to. Kinda sucks actually.

    Love that song disturbing video




    Let's see, I talk to 7 or so people outside of MFP and one all the time. So I'd say that's close.

    I don't share a lot of personal things, and it's nothing against my MFP friends. I just don't like putting a lot of my life out there on the Internet, even if it is to my family or very close childhood friends.

    I am, however, a very open person and don't have an issue talking about things to people. I do have to get to "know" people first, but that's because I am shy and introverted and want to feel a person out to make sure they aren't going to be making fun of me or something...I'm like that in "real life" too, lol.

    Sometimes it is even more motivating to me when people share their honest real life experiences (myself included) so even though we are not "close" friends like my friends offline, I will try to treat you as such anyway.

    I'm just weird, too. :flowerforyou:

    All the MFP people I have chosen to be my friends and supporters are awesome. With that being said, Only one really knows me. Similar situations have allowed us to share our personal experiences on a whole different level. I have no support at home and it is comforting having an amazing person to share my journey with. He's inspiring, motivating and has given me belief in myself!

    ^^This. (Well, perhaps except the snuggling part.... :noway: )

    Some of them I have no contact with, but some of them I feel like I could tell some things. It's kind of cathartic having somewhat anonymous friends to support you and help you through things. My MFP friends definitely know a different part of me than my real-life friends. My real-life friends don't know much about my fitness life.

    There are a handful that I share more personal info with- the privileged.... Or cursed, not sure which. There are friends on here that truly "get me" which is like discovering the g spot, rare. I absolutely adore them! They are all supportive, hilarious, and sexy as hell!!!!!
