I always feel a pang when I get de-friended and I wonder if I'm boring or stupid.

I'm the same, but I just found this particular one a little odd. This person and I used to chat off journal all the time as well and although we've not done that for a while I wasn't aware of anything wrong. Ah well. I'm not going to worry about it - I have too many other things causing me stress to fret about other people too much.

You're a better gal than I am, Gunga Din!

Sorry to hear about that. I could friend you twice to compensate, if you like :)

I know how weird that feels. I got defriended by someone I had a very congenial dinner with. She comes, she goes, and I barely pay attention which at any given time anymore.

Okay, here goes.

Over the past six monthsI've felt that you've been withdrawing from the friendship, and that the only times you contacted me was to ask "Does this graphic look okay?" or "Can you take a look at this for me?". Never just to chat. I can't even remember the last time you even asked how I was or what I was up to, or just showed any kind of interest in what was going on in my life.

Over the last two months even this contact has dried up, to the point where you didn't even show yourself as being online for the last bit of the last scene we did for inthedarkness. What really brought this to a head for me though was Prime. I realise that you were there with acrazywench and thedothatgirl, but I felt you almost completely ignored me for the whole weekend. Even on the Friday night when I came across and asked how you were, I got a two word answer out of you and then you turned away. Your body language screamed that you didn't want me there at all.

The lkast straw was e-mailing you a week past Sunday, telling you that I was having problems with my characters for inthedarkness, to the point where I felt like killing them off and asking you for some help and advice. I never even got a reply from you.

I realise friendships shift and that we don't always have the time to speak to old friends the way we used to, but I really have felt as though you've just completely dropped me out of your life.

That's why I de-friended you on Saturday night, and the reason for not contacting you to try and talk about it is because on the evidence that I could see you would have just ignored any attempts from me to try and contact you.

I hope this provides some insight for you.
