Welcome to the Secret Confessions thread. Beyond the pure anonymity of the internet, there lies a certain level of understanding behind all the accounts here on FF. The SC account carries burden of allowing the user to give a candid, private confession with (hopefully) understanding feedback. The SC thread is for other posters to give kind and/or helpful advice, words of empathy, or a secret of their own (under the SC name or not).
This account is a group account, and EVERYONE needs to treat it respectfully. By posting under the Secret Confessor, you are pledging to refrain from hate mail, "finger-pointing", insulting and being a jerkface. By posting in the SC thread, you are pledging to keep the comments respectful. This has not yet been a problem, but it's nice to have written down "just in case".
If you would like to use the SC account for ANY reason beside posting in this thread, please PM me- even if it's under the SC name (this is not to exert authority, but to maintain order over a very accessible account).
Everyone still loves you. Don't worry about it. If they didn't still love you and want to talk, they could easily block you. There is a reason they haven't done that.
This seems like a rather personal post... So... *meaningless advice*
(And I have no idea who you are.)
It's possible that because you usually IM them first, they think that you're mad at them. Maybe they just don't want to annoy you or they feel awkward because it's a break in habbit? They certainly could have done more to keep up with the friendship, but what you're describing to me is a change in your behavior, and not a change in theirs. Maybe you're just reading a bit too much into it.
I feel bad because I'm probably the cause or contributing to this, whoever you are. I'm drifting away from online stuff, but... I like it. I do things like EVERY DAY. If I don't get out of the house and have to stay on the computer for more than an hour during daylight, I'm PISSED. And I used to be cool with all this. So, I'm sorry, whoever you are, but my only advice is that we all have different anchors in our lives that don't always coincide...
I always feel like I'm betraying someone or something every time I make a decision. Like, I had to choose between going with my best friend to see a movie or going with my close friend to go to a pizza party. I chose the pizza party because I'd already seen the movie, and now my best friend hates me.
did you explain to your best friend you've already seen the movie before hand? They might be pissed because they think you ditched them for someone else, but ifyou've already seen the movie you have every right to go to the party instead...Thats my opinion anyway.
