How would you feel?

I am just venting here, but I'd like to know how you would feel.. Today I sent a e-card to a very special friend wishing him a Happy Thanksgiving and I did see he opened it but never said thank you or anything like that.. How would you feel if someone did this to you and would really even consider him/her as a friend? Let me remind you this person I've sent e-mails too left comments on his myspace page and not once and thank you for being nice...

I've heard it said," True love requires Nothing." When you truly Love someone there is no requirement of anything returning to you. True Love requires Nothing. Perhaps we can use this as a measure of our LOve. If we require anything returning to us as a result of our love, we do not love completely!

You know what a lot of times if I am in a hurry or something like that, I will read a message and then I will not respond until later when I have the time to do so. This may have been the case with your friend also. I do this often. I have also had that happen to me. I wrote an old friend on myspace, and I seen that he had read the e-mail. Well, I wrote and fussed at him thinking that he did not want to talk to me. He wrote me back and told me that he reads them all just to see what they say, and then goes back later and replies when he has time to sit there and respond to them all. it is probably nothing.

Maybe not but after 2 weeks it kinda says something.. I mean i do see him online and what not.. It really sometimes only takes a few minutes to say thanks or what ever needs to be said... If you know what i mean! Thanks for your reply!!!

well it could be either that he is rude, or not considerate, or just that he is nice but he isn't that easygoing with his emotions. Some people find it really hard to express their feelings, or are too shy about them, i don't know. Perhaps you should talk to him about how you feel about this, and wait to see what he replies. If you like the answer, cool, if not, at least now you know you cannot keep on wasting your time.

Sometimes I do wonder about that... Wasting my time.. And sometimes i feel i should just give up on certain people.. Almost like you give them your 100 percent just like they want you too... But they fail to do it in return... Kind of makes you feel a little different about the person.. Thanks for your reply i really do appreciate it alot!

Hi wisconsin, I see that you are talking about a guy here, so my thought is that most guys don't think like that..It does seem sad that he won't say thank you at least once...Does he send you comments? I think it is a guy thing..(most guys)..Alot of men don't like to type either, but thank you is only two words, and those two words do make a big difference...Sometimes people assume that you already know that they think it was nice of you to send them an e-mail so they don't express it in words...I hope this makes sense..

That makes alot of sense Feona, And your right it's only two words.. It does make a difference it's almost like they appreciate that you sent it to them, which is a better feeling that feeling as if they don't really care... Words do make a difference at least to me they do.. Again thank you Feona

you know you were nice and sometimes though people know what should be done they dont do it. you should feel proud of your goodness no matter what because.......... you were good. plain and simple. never stop watering your plant garden because 1 rose has withered. smiles, prayers, happiness.

Thank you Ronnie, I guess being that I've been so nice to this person no matter what sometimes a Thank you would be nice instead of being ignored and feeling like they don't even care.. Thanks for your reply!

I mysle f am the type that doesn't worry if I get thanks for this type of things. It depends on how well this person knows you I feel. Maybe he has plans to send a card back. Who knows really. Some people get so tied up doing so much online they forget the thanks to be offered etc. I do try my best at all times to give thanks to friends etc for things they send me etc. But I also am not always good at it. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I also had such experiences before, but I didn't think she or he(my friends) is not indebted. I may think she or he is very likely to be in bad mood, and having some trouble things to get rid of. So, I think when people do good things, they don't expect to be repaid, and I will still consider them as my good friend even if they are not grateful to my welldoings.

I wouldn't take it personally. I would glad to know that he got the card you sent. Think of it this way. You receive Christmas cards~ do you call everyone and tell them thank you for the Christmas Card. I would just think that they got the card and were too busy to reply right then.

I understand how you feel, although i do sometimes the same thing. I guess we are sometimes so busy that we forget to even say someone thank you or just a e-card we took like a certain thing, we don't need to thanks for. I don't know if I will feel sad about the card for thanksgiving, but I think it would touch me when I will send something like that to someone for birthday anbd he will not say thank you.
