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'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.
Mostly what OP said. There are people here whom I adore and haven’t PMed in months (or ever), but interact with regularly on the forums. I’m just bad at starting and keeping up conversations 🫣

I have a craving now.

You wouldn’t if you knew what had to happen for figs to grow!

i agree with both of you here, well said...i was thinking about it today because of these posts and it takes so much energy for me to put myself out there and try to connect...the idea of having to start over or having to build up the energy to initiate is exhausting. whereas playfully replying in posts is much easier, though ultimately not as satisfying.

Well YOU matter to me, sugar. Screw the flakes. We are made for the real ones. ❤️
