I have a quick question. I have over 85 MFP "friends", I try to support everyone I see thats familiar (which is everyone). I would say out 85 between 15-20 that actually respond back and support me as well. Do you have this problem too? If so how have you handled it? Did you delete, delete, delete?

    I figure not everyone can get to me all the time .. see my posts or whatever .. I think its unnecessary to delete.. unless theres a reason.. we are here to support each other .. some people are great cheer leaders some aren't .. :D

    Sometimes I go several days without commenting on anyone's status simply because life is busy. And like the other poster said, I can't always comment on everything. I try to comment on things that seem important (milestones, if someone is having trouble, etc.) but I'm not going to post "WTG" or "Good job" on every exercise, diary entry or log in update. I'd rather have real interaction.

    Thats how I was yesterday... ha ha. Stay away from me! I am hungry and angry >: [ ;)
    But I agree with everyone else, sometimes I am a lurker, I read whats going on but I don't always comment because I don't have time. And then somedays I am blowing up your status! :D

    I only respond if I have something to say. I don't ever comment on the automated updates, like, "X finished their food diary for the day!" Other people can be great cheerleaders, but I don't generally see the point in posting generic responses over and over.

    I try to support as much as I can, but even with just 30+ friends it's hard to weed through and congratulate every victory of the day. That, and I run out of clever things to say . . . I prefer to make it interesting. :tongue:

    I honestly don't use the site for support so it doesn't often dawn on me to support others unless I see something out of the ordinary whether good or bad.
