I've hit that point again...taking a break
4 years ago
Not sure how to put this, really...
I feel terrible. I feel like I've done something wrong, even though I likely haven't.
Sometimes, when I meet someone in a group chat, like on discord or telegram, and they seem like they're chill, I'll talk with them a bit. And then I'll talk with them a bit in DMs, just to break the ice and get to know each other a bit. After a while, it seems like you'll be good friends. You'll have some laughs and whatnot, have some fun.
And then one thing is said. And then it suddenly, they turn on you. For something you said that wasn't specifically targeted at them, or anyone in particular. And just like that, they're no longer your friend. Gone. Just like that.
So, that just happened to me. I was in a group, and i mentioned I was likely going to be leaving it in the near future to take some time off and figure myself out for a bit. Just a break. I won't mention specifics, but someone with some issues apparently took that as a personal attack against them, which I had no intention of doing.
And they lashed out at me. Said some cold stuff and eventually, they told me to block them. They didn't want to be hurt over the fact that I would be leaving in the future, although it probably wouldn't be for a few months. So, well...I blocked them. Not just there on that particular platform, but on other social media wherever else they were, just to be safe. And I unfortunately had to leave that group early because of the events that transpired. And I likely won't be back there for a while. And now the group is in a state of disrepute.
Now I've fallen into a depression because it feels like I've lost some great friends, although not because of death. I understand some people have issues, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, I don't see that as an excuse to be lashing out at people. What if the people they are lashing out at also have issues, some of which could possibly alter their lives, forever?
Again, I'm not sure if I said any of this right, and I do not mean to offend or hurt anyone. I just want to let people know what happened to me. I don't need any sympathy, love or whatever. I'll be alright.
Also, since I'm writing this journal, I won't be on FA for the next three weeks or so as I'll be on vacation. I'll check notes and reply every now and then when I have time, if it's important. Otherwise, I won't be posting, commenting or anything until I return. I hope you all understand my reasons. Thanks for reading...
