Hurt feelings.

Has anyone ever had feelings hurt when someone drops them as a friend? I cannot figure out why it happened! I did ask...but no answer.

Even if I did not want to talk anymore, and felt overwhelm(as I have felt before)I would never drop them. Especially without saying why.

Am I being overly sensitive? Or should I just tell myself it was a DS snaffew-site problem. :) Is snaffew a real word? Or a word at ALL...still making me feel better to put the blame off me.

But why am I still thinking about it?

" Hey Carley,

People drop friends for a variety of reasons. One big one is "lack of interaction". Some will drop friends who they have not heard from in a specific period of time. Others get really depressed and drop EVERYBODY. Sometimes there is a system glitch and random friend connections get broken.

I have dropped a couple friends by careless mouse clicking, and when I think I'm doing one thing, I realized too late that I dropped a friend.

It could even be a matter of posting an opinion they did not approve of.

In any event, I would say not to worry. It takes time to get used to the way of things here.

ps, the word I know is snafu, and it is sort of an acronym. (Situation Normal All Fouled Up) lol, other use different 'F' words in it. "

" DANG...you are so right! Snafu...guess I was trying to be spell checked. Thanks for being my spell check. We really need it here.

Hoping it was a errant mouse click..not so sure. Yes, still adjusting.

You know we always think, secretly.."it is all about me." :) And yet it never is. "

" I can't cope with more than 50 friends so I tend to drop those I haven't heard from for ages. Also, if someone has say, 90+ friends already I figure I won't be missed much. Don't take it personally, I'm sure it didn't reflect on you (if that's the right saying). "

" Sorry, I should have said 'support' rather than 'cope with'. "

" Sometimes "cope" with might be the right word. :)

I think everyone on these sites try our best to offer all the support we can.

I never thought about people having such a huge number of friends, with whom they must always stay in touch. Guess that might get a bit difficult. I will think of it as "their loss", and not a reflection on me.

Thanks for the kind words! "
