What do you do when you quit hearing from a net friend?

I have some friends(?) at another site that have stopped speeking to me. One of them I had talked to on the phone and IM with. Then nothing. I kept sending her PM and ecards but now she changed her e address. So I removed her from my address book and my list of friends. I think to try any more wouldn't be good. After all I'm not a stalker. It is just that I'm really hurt. The last time we talked she said I make her feel better. She lost her son too so we had that in common. We talked about our boys a lot and helped each other that way. But now.... Well what would you do?

You don't mention how long you knew this person here. I tend to get their emails then associate that way. If it's been a good relationship on the internet and they wanted it to be in the real world they or you should have or would have exchanged addresses. If it was just a few months I'd let it go by as their really isn't anything you can do. People and friends come and go. Especially in the cyber world. Good luck friend. Can't say what you can do as that's your choice. me personally I'd say easy come easy go if they changed their email and won't answer Pms etc. Just another lost cyber friend. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

LOL I'm sure you are right. I have only had a PC 4 months. It is all new to me. I had several people DUMP me at the same time. She was one of them. I think I know why. I'll make a post about it.

I've never really had this happen. I mean, yes, I have known people online and then they disappeared, but it never really bothers me unless it's someone who I conversed with regularly. I still think about some of the people I haven't seen in a while and wonder how they are doing. But, I don't really try to contact them unless they are someone who I chatted with privately a lot, like most days, then I just let them go.

I guess I need to get a thicker skin. I'm a very careing person and I just expect other people to be too. I'm learning. LOL If it is laugh or cry I would rather laugh.

I think it's OK to be sensitive. It's just that a lot of people don't feel the same way about their online friends as they do the ones they know in real life. There's a loss of connectability online.
