*Hugs the poor Dizzard*
I'm sorry that has happened. It's the worst!

Thanks! I can say you've been a very good friend to me and I'm grateful 💚

Yay~ I'll be twice as good of a friend to make up for the bad ones!

Lul idk how you could get any nicer at this point :3c

Yeah I don't get it either mate.

It sucks fr but I'll manage

*huuug*

Thank you :3 💚

Many, many many times I've had people approach me with some monosyllabic introduction (Hello, or Meep or Woof, etc.) and then vanish into thin air as if the interaction became an afterthought. or they talk in sentences of 5 words or less, or if they follow up with "How are you", I explain in multiple details and they just dont respond or say "Oh" and then disappear

I have completely lost all patience for these interactions and at this rate I'm just not even going to bother saying anything back until they can talk to me in proper English and more than just 5 words per message

Unfortunately, we also have people that take sheer offense to being requested to speak in complete sentences and ive had several arguments with these..."individuals" and ended up having to separate from them in the end. One even defended why its perfectly fine to pop up with "Hi" and not say anything else with it.

But all in all, im with you in full on this... people need to learn when to speak up when reaching out and stop poking us just to say "hi" and then walk away. What they miss is that were often doing something other than staring at discord chats and by DMing us, we are diverting our attention away from what were doing to pay attention to them, and that should mean they want to talk to us about something...right? "nah, just wanted to say hi! toodles!"

Uggggggggghhhh these bullshit interactions piss me off to no end.

I luckily have not had to deal with this much. The only people who message me with a simple "hi" are just scammers. But it does sound annoying to deal with. I can't blame you for not replying to it anymore

I've got friends like this whom are really cool and fun to hang out with in real life but getting them to respond to a text message or a Discord DM is like trying to pull teeth. I think a lot of people nowadays are pretty overwhelmed with the amount of communication that we have available. So you get this loop where they'd read a message, decide to respond later, forget to respond and then be too embarrassed to respond or apologize. Bet this happens a lot to people that have like 5 or more apps that they need to check (facebooks, telegrams, instas, discord, twitter etc.) for messages ontop of email. Good rule of thumb is to just pick 2 that you want to be reachable on and check them midday, and also check emails in the morning and midday.

This happens to me. There are quite a few people on my friends list in different places. Sometimes, depending on where, I just don't get a notification when people message me, like on X. Other times, like you said, I read a message and forget to respond. But I do eventually respond and apologize. It's not so hard to do. And in the case of what I'm referring to in the journal, I'm never the one to try to initiate the friendship. That's what I don't really get. Someone initiates the friendship and then does that. They could just not initiate the friendship and save us both the trouble. Also I could understand someone making that mistake sometimes, but not literally every time

Yeah, I can definitely see how that is annoying. When someone adds you like that and you share no common interest (because you don't know eachother) but then they expect you to do the footwork of breaching that gap when the conversation goes nowhere. Definitely tiring. Thats not your fault though, if they go on to add/contact you, they can also be the one to also reach out with a prompt to a hobby, music, books etc. something to fill that gap of interest. Moreso to show that they care, atleast a bit.

I think unfortunately with kinky spaces like FA, this can be pretty common. Partly, people just get excited and over eager for a bit. Like, "Omg, someone likes the same quirky stuff as me~! I wanna be their friend~!" That kind of a vibe.

And then, when they're basing a friendship purely on a very loose bond of something like a kinky interest, the interest in the friendship withers too. They find other people who like it, or get bored of the kink themselves, and start to drift away from the person who they started to reach out to and connect with.

That all really sucks for the person getting left behind, though. And yeah, sometimes it's more complicated than that, sometimes it's just life getting in the way of someone who genuinely wants to be your friend, but has gotten overwhelmed. But a lot of times? It's just people being kinda selfish and immature, and not valuing a friendship the way they should.

I'm sorry it's happened to you so much!

Yuuup. Many such cases for this one. Someone would add me because they see I like vore and stuff but when the notice I'm not vorny and down to rp 24/7 they grow distant. In those situations I won't really try to stop them from growing distant either. I just don't have the time for that sorta stuff as often as some people do.

I'm always surprised how many people don't get that some of us have lives outside of kinks, lol
