Sad over fading online friendships
I've been friends with them for like almost 1 year but lately I feel like they're avoiding me and also having fun without me. I know I should not care so much about online friends, because I don't know the real them. Maybe all this time, it's mostly just a facade.. So then I decided to be inactive on social media, after that I feel better. But I also feel like something's missing. At the same time I wonder if they'll miss me or just move on without me :(
I don't feel like returning to soc. med anytime soon though.. I need my peace 😟 this online friendships have caused me feeling sad and anxious.. like I don't know if I can really trust them. I'm afraid if I don't engage to their updates, then one day this friendship will be over and I'll feel like I'm a stranger again to them.. But at the same time, because of them avoiding me lately, I feel like I forced this friendships..
I'm from Indonesia, sorry if my English isn't so good ✌️✌️ thanks for reading my story. Do you guys think it's okay for me to leave my online friends? if they're true to me, then they will still be there for me even if I take a really long break from online world, right?
@hopefulencounter
I think it can go both ways....... that Some may be there even if you take a break ....and some are going to move on if they are not responded to.
When a person is taking a break from online friends it helps if the person tells their friends that are taking a break . it does not need to be the end of friendships but it ends that way if you just stop responding without telling them you are in need of a online break.
@toughTiger6481 hi there. thank you for listening to my story, sorry if I kept on sharing my sad story here. it's just that I have no one to vent to irl. that's why I wrote a lot of how I feel here. You're right about the possibility of things that can branch from this problem. I really don't want to care that much about it, honestly. But it's been bothering me for days. I can't sleep at night.. If they're good for real then I'm sure it will be ok. I just want to go offline without burden
