Another wrote: 'I hope you're ok Fadi,' while one added: 'I think they reflect well your current state of mind. Keep on fighting.'
It comes following his Valentine's Day post which also sparked an outpouring of love from fans.
Fans of George's flocked to share their emotions with Fadi with one writing: "You are grieving and people who don't know you, don't understand enough to let you be, but you're entitled to your pain."
Another said: "I bet George was happiest when you were happy xxx he wouldn't want you to be sad."
In a string of posts on February 14, Fadi also uploaded a grief-stricken message about having no respect for humanity.
He wrote: "How much we hate each other us human wow no wonder why the world has come to the way we know it today.
"I lost respect for humanity just like humanity lost respect for love."
Others accused the grief-stricken Fadi of 'attention seeking'.
One commented: "Stop boring us with the same old story, just stop!"
Another said: "Come on Fadi, this is not what George would have want."
Others described the picture as "bad taste", and called Fadi an "attention seeker". Another added: "We're all unhappy But we don't try to advertise on him."
On Sunday, The Sun revealed that Fadi has been banned from George's funeral by his fed-up family.
Fadid, who found tragic George, 53, dead in bed on Christmas Day, is “not welcome” at the ceremony, the singer’s cousin Andros Georgiou revealed.
Andros, 54, said: “Heaven help him if he turned up. Fadi has not been invited to the funeral — the family hate him.”
George’s funeral is on hold until the coroner releases his body.
But former music producer Andros, who was the chart-topper’s closest childhood friend, said the arrangements had all been agreed.
Andros spoke after The Sun revealed a leaked recording of a 999 call Fadi made after finding George lifeless in bed on Christmas Day.
And he tore into the singer’s lover — insisting he was “not really” George’s boyfriend.
Andros said: “Fadi has not been invited to the funeral. He is not welcome, the family hate him. Heaven help him if he turned up.
“They know what he is, and everyone basically thinks he’s a gold-digger. He was never going to be invited — and Yog (George) was planning to get rid of him after Christmas anyway.
“Fadi was not really his boyfriend. No one has spoken to him and he just seems to be getting on with his life.
"It makes my stomach turn.”
Andros, who spoke to George weeks before his death, also blasted Fadi over the 999 call.
In the recording Fadi — who has said he slept in his car outside the singer’s home in Goring, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Eve — is heard saying: “He’s cold and blue.”
He also told the operator he had been waiting four hours for George to wake up and had spent a further hour trying to rouse him.
But Andros said: “It didn’t make sense when I read the transcript — and I have listened to the call over and over.
“Fadi sounded way too calm, when really you’d be hysterical and crying.
“Also, he said he waited for hours for George to wake up. Really? On Christmas Day you wait for hours?
“Then he said he tried to wake him for an hour. Well, if you find someone like that and they are not waking up you call 999 right away.
“In my opinion he has wasted hours when he could have saved him — at least four or five hours.
“If he was lying in bed all that time, he could’ve had a faint pulse and possibly been resuscitated.

“Also, the way he told them, ‘Oh it’s George Michael — you know, the singer’ was just wrong. And the fact he didn’t know the address or his birthday just shows he wasn’t that close to him.
“This whole thing stinks even more since I’ve read the transcript and heard the call. I want answers.”
