What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

I totally agree.

I have friends here that I catch up with every month or so, such as your good self, and that's cool because life just works that way sometimes.

It's the ones that are there every day and then just stop talking to you while still being around on here. That hurts like fuck and I just have to carry on and pretend that it didn't matter because it clearly doesn't to them.
while i am certainly not going to speak for everyone else, i know for me this is hard. i often feel like i am bothering someone if the energy and interest isnt matched, so i tend to keep to myself or move on. its certainly not that it didnt mean anything, but for me it feels like people move on in order to avoid the awkward conversation. something as small as a shift in energy and a day or so without a message can cause me to retreat, even if the conversation and connection was meaningful.

I couldn't have said it better. You think it's something you said, but in reality they've just moved on. Their loss. ♥️

I'm very guilty of not responding to PMs sometimes while posting in the threads. Sometimes I just don't have the bandwidth to engage in a deeper personal conversation. But posting something on a thread is easy and relaxing for my mind. A lot of conversations have died off because I'm a pretty on and off PMer. But it's really more about me and my mood than what I think of the other person.

But I guess, you're also right. Because who we do make the bandwidth for are the people that do matter a bit more. And it can hurt to find out we are not in that group if we did think we were.
 
Sometimes it actually is something you've said that's caused a break in the friendship. It's always good to look at what we've said, too.

I get that.
Some days I'm only in my pm's, happily catching up and others I just want to lurk and post and have fun because I'm tired or stressed and don't really want to think.
But then I do feel bad for not getting back to people fast enough.

It can be hard to keep conversations going after a period of needing to step back a little. You think the moment has maybe passed or that people have moved on and maybe, after seeing a few similar comments, we all just need to be a little kinder to ourselves.

I'm always happy to hear from you or see you in the threads though, no matter how long it's been
