Friends cut

[certainthings]

What if you made one of those, 'Hey, I'm doing a friends cut - comment if you want to stay.' posts and NO ONE commented? How shit would you feel?

Seriously.

ps. I'm not doing a friends cut, I was just saying 'What if...'

I would probably feel that way as well.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Chances are.

I don't care for it when people don't announce friends cuts at all, that can be annoying - especially if you're left wondering if you were the only one cut and went wrong.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

They really sort of do, don't they?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love that you message people to let them know. That's awesome.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

What would be your crazy?

I understand that, completely. I try to communicate with everyone on my flist (even if it isn't as often as I'd like). If I find that I just don't talk to someone, or I don't even care to read their entries anymore (because we have fallen so out of touch) that is generally why I do a cut. And I say that in my post about it.

I do like it when new folks say hello. I figure when people say they're doing a friends cut they have at least a couple of people in mind that they want to cut, and if they did one of those posts and one of those people commented ... wouldn't that defeat the purpose? Probably.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Pretty much this.

I like when people say, 'Hey, I'm doing a friends cut.' because yeah, being cut with no notice is annoying and I agree, hurts. A lot.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahah. And then maybe make a 'Ha. Ha. Just kidding." post?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

People should comment more. :/

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I'd be sad as well. Probably annoyed too.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

So very much this.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I appreciate when people say they're doing a friends cut, just not the "comment to stay" part.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

There was a time when I did comment but now? Now, I just ignore them.

To be honest, I always feel terrified to comment to those posts even if I really really want to stay. I always think "What if THEY don't want me to stay and they're sorry I commented, then it's awkward because they don't want me there but they feel obligated because I commented?" So it's like, if someone makes that kind of post and I don't comment, it isn't because I don't want to stay. It's because I don't want them to keep me because I want to stay--I want them to keep me because they want me to stay.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

What if people you wanted to stay didn't comment?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

There was a time when I would comment but now? Now, I'm all 'Ehh, fuck it.' If they want to keep me they will.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I like this plan.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I think I'd feel this way as well.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

A little warning is nice.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

There is also no spoon.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Feel like a loser asshole.

And now I'm wondering what my biggest livejournal fear is.
