On Being Inactive

Nov 21, 2003 08:21

Do you ever logon to Livejournal and think... Why are some of these people on my friend's list? They never write anything.. they never make an attempt to comment on anything. They don't inspire me. When they do write they're boring as fuck.

Yeah, me too!

Yep. Had my first Stalinist Purge a few weeks ago.

I'd only feel bad ripping people from the list if they actually made an attempt to interact with me once-in-a-blue-moon.

But Man! Some people just depress me. I mean.. WRITE FROM THE HEART PEOPLE! (well, when you're writing something serious, otherwise write from the seat of your pants.)

I write from my loins more than half the time. Hah! I would purge myself from my own Friends list!

I just cut my LJ down by 10. I don't like being over 50 in number, because I don't really want to follow that many people, and also, I don't see the need to have people on my list if we never communicate, or have nothing worth saying. A "friends" list is designed to be exactly that, imho--mutual shared interests, or you get something out of the experience, or you're actually communicating, having a dialogue.

EXACTLY! Well put. Thanks for clarifying that for me. It's what I meant to say.

I have a few people on my Friends list that I'd rather not but I can't really defriend them since I'm the one that friended them in the first place.

On the other side of the coin - I consider myself an above average writer but I often wonder what others are thinking of my entries, especially considering how most of my topics concern my trying to find a job and that I lead an exceedingly dull life anyway.

Everytime I read an entry like this by people on my friends list, I always wonder if they might be talking about me.

You're still on my list. I purged those who I became bored with.

Hey now! :P. Sometimes people get busy. Yeah I've been bad about posting lately.

You're still on my list. I recall when you comment that they were valuable to me. Being busy and not writing is one thing, but being crass and boring and completely uncommunicative when I comment is another.

You stay!

Thank you :). I think you went on a huge adding friends venture. Not to say that there is anything wrong with that. Even when I was posting tons I only added a few people.

Yeah, the error of my ways have been noted. That was dumb. And besides... I like my list now. It's small, intimate and people I like. (or want to get to know better)
