    People need to not take things so personally. I've never noticed anyone unfriending me.

    It's a little pathetic to message someone in my opinion for something dumb like that.

    I'm surprised people notice they were even deleted!

    I dunno... if it's totally unexpected I can understand wanting to know why.

    I once knew a chic on here who deleted me.. I had no idea why as I commented on her posts frequently. But she had lost almost 200 lbs very quickly & made blogs about it so since the time we became friends she had grown to like 400+ friends. I assumed she had deleted me because she was just trying to cut back on clutter but I was hurt! We're human it hurts!

    Anyway... i did PM her to ask why & she swore up & down that she must have deleted me by mistake & re-added me. So maybe they're PMing just to make sure you didn't get too click happy & removed them by mistake ;)

    Oh & if you removed me I would cry for days & eat my sarrows & weigh1000 lbs so please don't! :tongue:

    I ask why I was deleted if it was someone I consider a friend.

    But then I'm also the crazy woman who asks guys what I did to scare them away (if I think they'll actually tell me).

    I've learned a lot about myself that way.

    I don't get why it annoys you so?

    It would annoy me if we both know why I deleted you and you still ask like you don't know lol

    I delete people cause I'm self absorbed and am interested in keeping up with me my fav pals and my fav threads. I don't want my timeline clogged with boring and uninteresting stuff someone I don't really interact with post. Plus if I check my pal list and I dont know who you are then what are we pals for.


    Oh enough about me there is an actual post to comment on. People are sensitive homie you really never know what will hurt someone's feelings. Everything everyone does u don't have to understand. Like I don't understand why people own cats. Unless u have mice what is the point of a housecats they are the jerks of housepets.

    I delete people who go inactive for 3 or more days, because I consider them to be wasting my time and don't really take this as seriously as I do, therefore I delete them and opt for people who are as serious!

    That happened to me... and I kept it real. I wrote him back and said you weren't supportive, you didn't chit chat, you never commented on my stuff... why is this a surprise to you that I deleted you? I'm on here for support and I like to talk to my friends on here.

    It doesnt bother me......people come........people go...........internet relationships are fickle! :smokin:

    Acutally, I think it bothered me the first time it happened :cry:

    But I would never ask why..........I'm sure, for that person, there is a valid reason, that they certainly dont have to validate! :bigsmile:

    I delete people who are inactive for at least a month
    I did delete one guy off my list because he was more concerned with selling Body by Vi than being supportive.

    I dont care if people delete me, I am a big girl I can take it. My personality is not for everyone. :devil:
  • Yes, I need closure! Why, oh why, oh why did you delete me! I'm crying over here. :sad:


    jk

    I don't know... If I was to get deleted, I'd figure they just got annoyed with my cheerfulness and positive posts!

    I've got only 12 friends, so I think if one deletes me, I will message them for this betrayal and they shall be known as Judas for the rest of their life!

    Not sure though, maybe it has happened already.

    I'm not bothered. For me one of the most bizarre things about this site is the strength of feeling people have on their addition and deletion manifestos. :laugh:

    I reckon I may not notice many deletions, but I did spot one - I just assumed I was eating too few of my exercise calories for their taste or was too chatty. I didn't mind at all.

    There are a few people here I really care about, I guess if one of them deleted me I'd be upset and tempted to check it wasn't a mistake, though I may try and resist checking in case it wasn't. I wouldn't especialy want to know why. It's important to me to accept people as they are so if others are judgemental about trivial stuff, that's their call, it just confirms we are never going to be great mates.

    I always accept adds and never delete, just doesn't seem like good manners to me and kindness matters. One person was using his friends list for marketing and that did get annoying so I hid his updates from my news feeds.

    flamfloz was soooo tempted to delete you for the Judas status, but didn't in case you refused to re-add me :wink:

    Such arrogance in your post: technically, you're not "deleting me" as you so crudely put it, you're only hiding away from my blinding greatness. A slight but important difference, you wannabe-Judas! :laugh:

    i was friended by a married guy who appeared to want to talk. i wasn't really all that interested in talking to him ( like messaging back and forth) i had accepted the request BEFORE he started. the next day he had unfriended me. i thought it was funny. didn't ask him why though!

    it seemed to me that he was looking for more. he had originally had a pic of him, his wife and kids, but he deleted it........ i'm not all that interested in chatting up married guys!!!!

    I don't really notice when people delete me.

    Same here, the first few times on facebook I noticed but could never figure out who it was. And this was when I only had 50 or so people, all of whom I went to school with or family. If I couldn't care enough to figure it out back then, I couldn't care less now with people I don't really know.

    I accept anyone who sends a friend request. But if I don't "get" the person after a while or if I'm put off by either their criticism of my routine or are whiny or being unhealthy, then goodbye and good ridance. MFP needs to be fun, motivating and educational for me.

    I rarely delete people. I do check once a month and if you haven't been on in over 3 months I will delete you. I have never gotten a message though. It's difficult at times being on graveyard shift. I am awake when most are asleep and vice-versa. So to some people it looks like I am not that supportive and I have been deleted from others in the past. Doesn't bug me at all.

    I keep everyone except those who are posting unhealthy status on my wall. For the first time, I deleted 3 people because I got so fed up with all the negative energy that I'm seeing on my wall everyday with all their stupid dramas about their body image issues, their eating 700 calories a day thinking that its a "binge", talking about having a waist size 24 or being a size 1 or xxs in clothes and still not happy about it & wanting to shred themselves to skeletonhood. I joined here to be healthy & well informed about health & fitness. As much as I feel so sorry for these young ladies but if they keep on rejecting helpful advices from concerned people & continue on damaging their bodies with their stupid ideas, then by no means they shouldn't be expecting better results & neither they deserve my friendship. Not to mention that my own life story is already like a telenovela & so I go online especially here in MFP to find support, motivation & also fun, everything that I'm not getting here in real life. And so I don't need another unhealthy, dramatic status.

    I just got my first friend request on here earlier this week. I don't really want to decline because I have no reason to, but at the same time it's a principle now. I've been on here this long without "friends", why start adding now?
