I have no advice, I can only offer condolences. I'm sorry for your loss of your "friend". IMHO that was a pretty shitty thing to do.
I agree, Two.
It's a "new frontier" and we all have to navigate it gingerly, I think. I think, like life, there are opportunities for good, real, stable friendships, and more, to develop from our online lives, but, just like real life, there are also chances of being hurt.
And, just like real life (I guess the cyber-world IS part of our real life, isn't it?), if you don't take a chance, you might not get hurt, but you won't gain anything either.
So -- navigate gingerly, and, like in real life, try not to expect too much of others. None of us is perfect and hopefully, we do our best.
THANKS, FOR YOUR THOUGHTFUL ANSWERS..BLESSINGS..LL
Why the caps? i am facinated by how an when prople use them?
yichel, lakelady has problems with her vision
lakelady, I find you to be one of the kindest, most sincere people on Eons and I just love you for that...I am so sorry for what has happened to you...you are the tops with me, for whatever that is worth...I find your honesty and candor wonderful...keep on being you! And let other people carry their own drama...don''t you take it on yourself.....it does belong to them only
I take a pragmatic view of the world. People who like me I'm happy to have as friends. People who don't like me I don't give much thought to. But lately I have learned not to get to close to anyone because it does hurt when someone lets you down, and the older I get does not leave a lot of time to heal. So I feed everyone both friend and foe with long handle spoons. That is my comfort level for which I choose to be in any relationship. No offense to anyone. Just a practical way of dealing with life.
I have a few true friends on Eons, but I can say that they are honest and full of integrity (or something) but they don't shy away from telling me about my ass when I'm wrong, or patting me on the back when I'm right, and thus far none have betrayed my confidence in them. I feel blessed to have them.
If someone has created and allowed a real friendship to form and then changes their mind about wanting to be friends, that's their prerogative.
Completely shutting you out with no explanations is just plain shitty, heartless, cold and without conscience.
Still, people don't end a good friendship for no reason. I'd look at my own actions to see if there was anything I could improve on and remember to be more cautious in the future before opening up fully to someone.
That was a nasty ,wrong thing to do to anyone! But you,????????? I think dear lady it was her loss not yours. You are a great addition to any group! I don't know that what I say means much, but it comes from my soul. See to me the heart is a pumping muscle and if it is broken ? You are having a heart attack! Here is someone that thinks outside the box by nature.
You Friend, Dollie
No matter how entangled I have been with anyone that I have felt close to on eons, I remember that all it takes is for one of us not to respond anymore, and then it is over. So far, I have responded, and those I am close too have also, so it's all still good, but in a minute it can change.
