Have you tried to message them? Or you can chat with me to pass your boredom or lonesome, I'm just a nobody, which means, I'm a good enough listener without consequences. XP

I try, but I have such a limited group of people Im comfortable enough to message first... and when most of them dont respond when I do message them it makes it even worse cause I feel like Im pestering every one.

Well keep in mind, some people leave their messengers up (and available) even though they are not at their computer. They may also be busy multi-tasking (like drawing art for instance) and/or have a lot of open windows/conversations to reply to (so making the rounds to respond to everyone). The point is, it does not automatically mean you're pestering them when they don't respond right away.

Also, despite your discomfort of messaging people first other then said limited group, I've found that a lot of people usually won't contact other people for the same fear/concern of bothering them, thinking they don't want to talk to them, etc. Understand that people on your list may feel the same way you do and that might be why neither of you talk to each other.

I mean I can't tell you EXACTLY what the situation is for each person (I wouldn't know), but just keep in mind that it's not always the worst case you may be thinking of.

I know...
Its just...things were going well over the summer
And then suddenly no one to talk to now

School/college may be a factor now as the year/semester for most schools colleges have started by now though. That's probably the reason for MIA people now whereas they were available in the summer.

I mean is there anyone online now? I know you may be uncomfortable initiating the conversation certain people, but it may be best to try initiating conversation with someone online anyways. It may be best to try at least. :)

figures XD I read this and it looks like you logged off 2 minutes prior

You can always message me im lonely most of the time so you can always hit me up ^^

I've messaged your AIM from my phone, but I guess I always do it after you go AFK. X3
