shirfleur 1's Journal, 09 February 2021

Why I follow so few people when I have so many who follow me (which is very flattering, and I always feel a little guilty when I don't do my best). I feel a responsibility to regularly comment on and encourage the people I follow, and, if I follow too many I am unable to do that. So, I intentionally keep that number low and if someone becomes inactive for several months, I quit following them and move on to someone else. I generally select people who inspire me, because I draw strength from their successes. It may be selfish behavior on my part, but I know that I need all the help I can get in order to succeed, and this is one small strategy that gives me strength to stay on the path. I do comment on and support the posts of many people I don't follow whenever I can. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, because I really do care about everyone on this site and I love reading your posts and I wish you all success. 💜💚💛

I understand! I really try to support actively the people I follow. Although I have really fallen down on the job lately. If I follow too many people, I cant keep up.

You should definitely not feel guilty I follow 97 people and I comment regularly but on the weekends I take a break so if you don't see me it's because I'm on me time it's ok to be selfish sometimes I just try not to make it an habit you are very kind Shirley and your honesty is so refreshing put your mind at ease I don't blame you a bit sending hugs and love your way ❤️🤗😊🙏🥰

Shir, my comments were definitely not directed at you or anyone in particular on fs. If you felt you had to defend yourself for some reason, I’m sorry. You weren’t even a part of the convo at that point. I only meant to reply to DP that I knew what she meant. You support people very well and I hope we return the kindness to you, one of the sweetest souls to find on fs. Me? Well I’m the worse supporter around. Just have never been able to keep up with all the posts and only allowed followers just over a year ago. But please know, you have my highest respect and support. 🥰🥰

I follow a lot of people too and actively keep up with a dozen. Honestly I’m biased to following folks who post pictures of food & occasional nature because that’s what I like to post myself. Lol. We all have our quirks. No need to apologize. I also comment often on people I don’t follow because I like them, I like what they’re posting, and I probably didn’t realize I wasn’t following them. 🌺🌺🌺🌺

Your comments are always so sweet!

I hope no one feels pressured! That's counterproductive! 😉 Even just hearing from someone every now and again makes my day. But I do feel sad when people dissappear completely. I like how some who've met their goal update once a month. When you start making alot of friends it is hard to keep up. So I'll just check every now and then as I can if I haven't seen anything from someone in awhile. Also I see new posts when I log, so I tend to respond to those most.

Wifey, you most definitely did not put me on the defensive, you're always kind and thoughtful and I greatly appreciate your comments. 💛

Oh Shir, I’m so relieved. 💖💖💖💖 Thank you for letting me know. I wouldn’t hurt you or anyone intentionally. xo

I feel a little 'put out' when folks don't comment on my journal BUT it is not ALL about ME here. We are here to help each other and take care of ourselves. I don't feel pressured or 'unloved' but do like to hear from others occasionally. But there is just so much we can do. AND at least being here is a big step to helping ourselves & others :-)

My sentiments exactly, Shirfleur 1. :)

JMA312- you could consider not being private except to followers and then everyone would be able to comment. Otherwise you have to wait for your followers to see your posts. Just a thought.

I think that’s smart.😀 
09 Feb 21 by member: Danana
Just keep doing you! I have problems keeping up myself. 🤗 
09 Feb 21 by member: oceanladyjulia
Good point DP! I was going to post on JMA312's page and say that they will get a ton of posts now because we don't want anyone to feel that way!!! But, I can't because they're profile is private.
