Does it hurt your feelings? they give you their e-mail, then NEVER respond!

hahaha yeah.. email and mobile. better not to give than not to respond.

I don't know why that happens and why they give you their email ids if they don't intend to reply. One reason could be that they've given you their personal id which they don't check quite often. Used to happen to me when I was working and I would check my personal account like once a month and then I had quite a lot of emails to respond to....and it would probably take more than a day to respond. Honestly, I've got too much on my hands to think about personal emails....sometimes I wish there weren't people emailing me at all...lol

I wouldn't say hurt feelings, but maybe disappointed some. I am not a 'shut in' but I really spend a lot of time on here and enjoy the topics and conversation. I like the 'visits' and look forward to them. I give all my friends my cell # and tell them if they want me they can always call the cell # cause I am probley on line. My husband hasn't said anything yet about this new hobby and I sure spend more time doing this then I do 'house work!' I enjoy the ones that I consider 'friends' (like you!!) I have given my email out to very few. I don't care for all the forwards. I had a relative that was ALL I ever got from her...as you can tell I am more the 'chatti' person. I have some emails I forward but they are really cute and it is very few. I was on another site and I thought I conversed real well with this person and then she disappeared. I found it disappointing. There were a few others on there that it was the same way but I don't think it was anything I said...at least I hope it wasn't.....

Hi Bunny Yes it would upset me and I do not understand why they gave you their Email and are not responding back to you I mean I felt awful the other Day as a Friend had written to me but it went to my Spam Folder and should not have done I am sorry this is happening to you I know I can take a couple of Days to reply lol but I always reply Hugs

It does hurt my feelings a little but I'm so used to people rejecting my friendship or love, people who are insincere and full of bull, I just push things to one side and try not to notice. It doesn't make me mad. Several months ago I received a PM from someone on my friend list who had responded to a discussion. This person gave me their email and said if I ever needed to talk, blah, blah, blah. I added this person to my address book and gave them my email. From time to time I would forward emails to this person along with others in my address book. I never received any email from them in return. The other day, nearly a week ago, I sent a pm and gave the person a nudge and they said they would be in touch. I gave them my addy again and still nothing. I sent emails to them and still nothing. What am I supposed to think??? I'm prepared to give people the benefit of the doubt but when you keep reminding them and they continue to ignore you.....wtf?

I am sorry this type of thing is happening to you.People are very selfish and self-centered now days. It is sort of a 'Let's do lunch' thing now days I think. And yes, people are really busy now days as well. They may not understand your loneliness and that you are reaching out the hand of friendship to them. Ofcourse it hurts your feelings. Yes, it does hurt my feelings at times too. I think I have found an interesting person that I would like to learn more about and they don't care to communicate. I think it is just one-minded people. PM me anytime and I WILL return your emails. OK?

I'm sorry you are practically a shut in and that these people don't respond. I have to say that I don't give out my email because I'm notorious about not responding to things... I don't respond to forwards and don't forward them. I seldom reply to those survey things - like "answer in one word" or "four things about me" so, no, if they don't respond, I assume they are like me, over worked and over tired and just forget about them... Some times, if I know they are those kinds of things I won't even open them - I know, boring! I have enough trouble keeping up with mylot and now they've thrown facebook into the mix and I check over there a few times a week meanwhile, I think I'll take my meds and think about bed...

some people are just like that.i know a couple of people who never respond to questions,even a "how you doing",and yet they send me jokes,videos and chain mail all week.i don't get them. the one i'm actually thinking of blocking at this point,because i'm tired of them blowing up my box with junk every day.

I don't think it would hurt my feelings. I get emails from people that are just forwarding jokes or stuff and I don't reply to those because I don't think they expect it. Maybe you're forwarding stuff without any "hello, how are you?" or something? Maybe they don't think you expect a reply? Don't let it bother you, just concentrate on friends that you exchange emails with and forget the rest!

HI BON, i know what u mean. It doesn't make me mad or even hurt my feelings but it does make me wonder why. Same thing on mylot. People ask u to be their friend & u never hear from them again.

just a thought, bunny, probably not true in every case, but my email, that I've had for over a decade just recently got some sort of virus and I can't receive any incoming messages on it. It's a hotmail account and I know others that have also been affected. first they stole my contact list and spammed people on it with garbage and now, I can't even use my email and I've lost some important info

No, it is quite frustrating when you put all of your time and thought into writing a person and sharing a big part of who you are with them to never hear from you again. It really makes you wonder what there reasoning was for sharing their email address with you in the first place. Are they trying to get something out of you or what is the reason. That said, I can completely see why you are frustrated by the situation.

like what you've said since i dont asked for their email then why they will get angry if i didnt reply as they cant control nor hold my mind. unless i asked for their email and they gave it and i didnt reply. besides its a form of spamming like spamming around for your email, i dont tolerate them and most of the time i just deleted them, unless those are from my friends who informed me that they will send me email information about a certain person or a certain things but then they must not expect me or anyone to just comply with them. if i received invitation i will go for it if im interested but if not then i will not, as i said they cant just comply what they really want as we have our mind to follow so why hurt their feelings anyway.

well in simple words everyone can't be the same. Some get themselves excited in situations share their emails and then get themselves blocked up in busy life. Some are there who give mail id's just for time pass especially for girls. Some really don't have time. so see to which category the person belongs

hi bunnybon7 yes I think its really rude as they can always say please dont email me or I have been very busy sorry but I will call you or email you later. My friend Nelda and I try to stay in contact every week day,she from her job and me here in my room. I know she has to eaitt til break time or her lunch hour. But LIke you I am partly handicapped and do not get out so her emails mean a lot to me.And she always lets me know if she is really swamped at work so then she will phone me from home.No I think its rude not to answer ones emails, and no excuse for it either.

Hi bunny! I know that I am bad sometimes myself about writing emails. I love to get them too, but sometimes it takes me awhile to sit down and write them because I hate to write them when I'm really depressed which lately is alot of the time. I have a few unanswered ones sitting in my box right now and I feel terrible that I haven't responded to them, and one was serious and should have been answered at least short if nothing else! So, please don't be mad at me if I haven't written to you! You know I love you and right now am just not myself. I will try to write you a private email to let you know what's going in the next few days. Love, Leslie

Never. I don't feel hurt for this. If someone gives me email and never respond, it doesn't mean, I will be sad or I am hurt. I too give my emails to so many people but never sent mail. I sent mails only when required. I know each and every persons in today's world is so much busy and had no time to do additional things. We mail each other when there is something very urgent or some news to share. I do get many forwarded mails each day but I never response to that mail.

Well my situation is another. I have given my e-mail to my friends or ex-classmates from German course. Then until now, even if I have sent lot of messages, they seemed not to reply. I do not know why. I even respond in German so they can understand really the text. But still I never get any answer up to now. I feel upset. Hoping they will be replying soon.

Hi Bunnybon7 Nope wouldn't hurt my feelings at all goodness knows their are enough people here on MYLOT from all over the world to chit chat with and you have to understand that people are people and if they are the type who don't respond to emails then thats just whats going to happen besides sometimes it could be that they are out of town or unable to get online for whatever reason or in some cases like myself I just plain forget Some people have such busy days and have a lot of other things on their agenda and other online activities they are involved in and can't keep up sometimes with the demands of emails. But none the less don't take it personally I sure don't

i think it would hurt me a bit if my message is important then she will reply. but i also think that she's not in the mood sending emails so i just let her explain why she didnt reply.
