Small rant about messenger and other things
12 years ago
Once, there was a time when...
Why do people have their YIM, MSN, Skype or what ever set to online if they aren't even there? Or will talk a little bit and then just seemingly disappear without saying anything? I understand that things come up but when it happens almost every other day it gets a little ridiculous. Also for those times that people are busy but want their particular messenger on, there's something called a busy symbol and a status bar where you can type that you're busy, will be slow to respond, etc...
This may seem trivial to some but to me if you're "online" it generally means that you're there or around enough to chat, at least a little bit. Also if you don't want to talk to a particular person then tell them, don't just leave your messenger on and ignore them if they message you. If you aren't meaning to have that happen and it happens a lot a person can get the impression you have a problem with them if you don't say anything.
I'm just tired or these things happening a lot lately, I may just be putting to much effort into things but I like talking to the few people who I feel actually want to be my friend, or at least felt that way, even if I don't message people a lot. Also tired of making plans to hang out with someone if they come to town but when they get here I don't get any kind of message, even if they're hanging out with mutual friends, this also has happened multiple times and from multiple people.
I'm doing my best to handle my issues, would help if I really had people who would be there for me and understand where I'm coming from which I've explained. If you're still confused and care just ask and talk to me, be there for me when I get upset, that's all I'm asking for. I know I can be a bit much but I've most likely been there for you in times of need or have helped you in some way and I'm not asking for something extraordinary, just be there for me as I was and still will be for you. If that's too much to ask then don't bother at all, I'm fine with that.
But people won't have to put up with me for a while. My own issues are being dealt with and until that time has come I will refrain from messaging anyone, also if someone wants to talk about something I've said here please do so but in a nice way. If you try talking to me in a rude or distasteful manner you will be ignored, I'm trying to be better and make things better, not worse. If this upsets anyone for some reason I'm sorry but that's the way I feel.

Though sometimes it's understandable if they're rushing, a quick "brb" or "ttfn" would be appreciated...also we (me included) should probably make more use of the status symbols...I always assume when I close my laptop that it signs things out or at least sets them to away...but...>.<
You're one of those people that I haven't really had a problem with this kind of stuff. If you want we could exchange notes or text if you have a phone to do so, just note me your number or I'll note you mine if you want.
