Why do people chat to you about personal things here then just leave SW?

SW-User
Everyone has their own reasons. These online sites aren't conducive to building lasting friendships.

@SW-User indeed!
Several reasons:

Fake accounts where the person either loses interest or is afraid of getting caught.

The person didn't get the response they wanted. SW isn't anywhere near as big as the Experience Project was, so if someone's expecting that level of activity, they might be disappointed here.

Caught by parents/spouse/significant other.

Just lose interest in general. I see abandoned profiles all the time on Facebook, Quora, and other social media sites. Heck, I set up a Twitter account, and haven't posted to it a single time. I also set up an Instagram, put up a few photos, and lost interest. Anyone finding that will wonder what happened.

People make their own choices to leave although I do understand your frustration if you have built rapport with a person and shared personal information that if they just disappear without the courtesy of a PM to explain their reasoning it could be classed as rude
People are selfish.

The nature of social media is that it's temporary.
Folk find this place and it serves their need. And once that need is gone, they move on.

Idk.. don't keep track what other people do!
@Wiseacre It's not keeping track, she means when you're having an intense conversation with someone, and they suddenly disappear. I've had that happen a few times.

People are screwed up and trying to find their way.
