I have friended a few people that have not friended me in return

It may be an oversight or it may very well be they just prefer not to make their thoughts open to me. No hard feelings whatsoever; with some we feel a connection, with others we don't.

Having said that, I'll be removing these people, now. This act is not a retaliation or a way of pouting, it's merely this: the inequality of the situation making me feel a bit uncomfortable or...vulnerable, shall we say.

If I remove you, you notice and wished to be refriended, feel free to PM me or just say so.

OH gosh no never to see your kitty icon again!

No, I would miss you terribly.

Is that Hamster Girl chilling out, Vickie?

That's one heck of a snack for such a little hamster, tennis pro or not!

"That's one heck of a snack for such a little hamster, tennis pro or not!"

Oooh, I know--the poor little hamster! Looks like it needs a thought balloon that says "burp!" "Never eat anything that's bigger than your head!"

But at least it's a healthy snack...

That's exactly what I do. I'll add someone, wait a few days (weeks?) and if no response, out they go. It's not personal, I just want to keep a smallish, active list, rather than the 200+ people some have--I can't manage that many!

I can't imagine trying to keep up with that many either

Small and simple is good for me. Actually, it's a good descriptive OF me!

I have done the same thing... And unfortunately none of them seemed to notice. So maybe it was for the best.

Ouch! LOL!

I suspect it will be the same experience for me.

BTW, I've meant to tell you...I love that icon; I grin every time I see it.

hehe, thanks, it's one of my favorites! I think I'm a userpic addict.

I've noticed that I wouldn't notice until someone comments in my LJ instead of just reading it.

Lurking friends!

[identity profile] spedbug.livejournal.com 2005-07-27 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I do lurk if I feel I have nothing to add and I don't mind those who lurk, in turn....as long as I know they have a friendly feeling toward me! ;)

friendly feelings...

[identity profile] irascignavojo.livejournal.com 2005-07-27 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
you know I have those towards you, don't you? :-)

Re: friendly feelings...

I figured you did since you added me to your friends list but, it's always nice to hear! :) I have friendly feelings toward you, too! :)

I have friendly feelings for you. I often read but don't comment. :D

I've found sometimes people don't notice for months if you friend them - I guess they don't think to check their user info page. I friended a few people who didn't friend me back for ages, and then months later they noticed and friended me. Some never friended me back at all, even when I wrote comments on their journal, so in the end I did what you did and removed them from my list. I figured they didn't want to interact with me, so I felt uncomfortable reading their journals.

I always find it weird friending people and unfriending them. I was very shy about friending people at first, in case they didn't want to be friended. Now my friends list is quite big - although quite a few of the people on it never write in their journals any more, or only write once in a blue moon.
