Ever wonder why people leave this site and don't say goodbye?

SW-User
I did leave... for over a year... but I think I did say goodbye?...
SW-User
@Itsmrsockmonkey that makes sense. It would be too many, and awkward, if you try to tell all.
Yes and only a certain few keep n touch, others I have to always make the effort@SW-User
SW-User
@Itsmrsockmonkey Yeah.. it's easy for it to grow exponentially on social media. You have to be selective.
Yes I’ve had that happen a couple of times, at least leave a last message and a couple of days to say good buy
Would you like me to flash you?

Who did that to you?
Noreaster · F
I do. It's like you're talking and the next day they're gone. It makes you wonder...
pdockal · 56-60, M
@Noreaster they are probably fake profiles and got exposed so the leave
hunkalove · 61-69, M
No point in saying goodbye to a sewer.
Plus goodbye means they're coming back
I believe, it's because we may talk to each other and claim to know each other in here but we are acquaintances in real!...Unless we get to meet a person in real the true connection is not there!...Of-course, exceptions of good virtual friendship are there!...Not everyone cares for acquaintances!...☺

This is my view-point.

Most of us are here to share ourselves with others because somewhere along the line, we do not have the 'one' with whom we may share everything. Even if we have that 'one' in our life; yet, we need a corner to vent the feelings that we don't feel like sharing it with that individual!...☺

Be happy, keep talking to the person till the time he/she is talking to you. A chapter does end at some point; so does the book!...☺
Some simply end up having their accounts deleted and haven't the opportunity to say goodbye. Others were fakes. And some just flee
It surely would be nice if they said bye to their friends they frequently PM with.

No. What is the purpose to that? Most come back anyway. Even IF a different profile.
I suppose they have their reasons. But a goodbye to friends would be respectful.

Maybe their internet got cut off. Tough times for many

SW-User
@CoxswainOtter great name lol
Momof4 · 31-35, F
Happens everyday 🤔
pdockal · 56-60, M
@Momof4 still sucks
I think there are a number of reasons people leave without a good bye.. I try not to put too much stock in it. I know I have done it myself.. either a phone call or a visitor. could be anything.. really.. and by the time you come back the person is gone.. or like me, I do a lot when at work and I can only talk on breaks.. so I'm apt to leave without a goodbye as I need to leave at certain times and I get too busy talking to keep track of time.. and before you know it.. my break is over :).
oh I see.. does that happen a lot or are they coming back as someone else?
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
I think it's happened but am not quite sure. Hey fellow Canadian pm me
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
That's if you want lol
LarryZ · 56-60, M
I left, but said goodbye to my friends. I left because it was getting boring, and I needed a break. Back because I missed the weirdness.

Not so much about this site....since this is my first day on SW. But I have wondered about that on other sites. After a while though, I decided not to take it personally. I figured they just need an itch to scratch elsewhere. Although it's still sad.
@CoffeeFirst Yes...this is my first full day on SW. I joined yesterday afternoon after learning about the site from another media chatroom. So far I absolutely love it.
CoffeeFirst · 56-60, F
@FigNewton You seem like our kind of peoples! 😉 Enjoy.
Thank you!
antonioio · 70-79, M
Their not attached to any one here or use this place as a stepping stone to find someone
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
I find it unacceptable if we have connected on any level.
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
@GJOFJ3: yes I find it very sad
SW-User
Im getting ready to leave. It is important to say goodbye?
SW-User
No I have some good thoughts or hunches on why most people leave here
Dez580 · 61-69, M
they were never taught good manners. only takes a second . or post a general comment under posts or on profile and then suspend account before deleting it. but i am not suprised too many on this site are so rude in their language. we all have likes and dislikes, many might be a bit kinky like me,but that is no reason to be impolite
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
I agree it is bad manners. I'm a lille kinky too but no reason to go with no reason @Dez580
antonioio · 70-79, M
Because they feel like that not connected with anyone
rachelsj · 22-25, F
some people are like that. They just jump ship, sorta speak
Ballora · 22-25, F
Some ppl dont find it necessary to say goodbye
SW-User
They don't feel a connection with anyone
HueyPLong · M
Because people are asses at times
Myself11 · 61-69, M
Can't figure it out
Ccrider63 · 70-79, M
I did the first time I joined, there really wasn't anything going on and thensite was new and poorly run. I've been told that it has improve so I'm trying again. This time I will say goodbye if I choose to leave again.
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
Yes it has gotten better then when it began. There is a couple of people that left that I wonder why. I'd have no judgement about why they are leaving
SW-User
Just how it is

I do wonder. I don't know if they lose interest, get caught saying things they shouldn't, or just run away for no reason at all.
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
Think it's a combination of all of what you mentioned.
ShyCDinCali · 46-50, M
@Sanderilla: it still sucks though. Wish people would at least say goodbye.
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
It does but some don't think so! Social media makes it easy to do that!
goodguy007 · 41-45, M
There maybe circumstances under which it may not have been possible to say bye. Am sure no one wants to leave like that.
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
You could be right still sad some times
goodguy007 · 41-45, M
@Sanderilla: I agree! I have been left like that on EP many times but as I realised, I was to leave one time without I could say bye.
It did feel sad. Does hurt.
SW-User
Blueyed · 61-69, M
Perhaps they just feel guilty. Perhaps they feel out of control. Perhaps they feel turned on so much in here, but in real life ignored by spouse, and feel too frustrated.
SW-User
I find it hard when people cut off communications without letting me know why. Disappearing can be hurtful for people who care.
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
Very hurtful in that you want to know why also when there was a connection @SW-User
SW-User
Closure is important, at least for me. People don't seem to understand the impact they have on others.
RainBisou · F
I guess its easier for person leaving but hurts like hell for persons or people they connected with that are still here
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
@RainBisou: definitely hurts

not sure....just noticing you hadn't left a note since last March? Btw, nice cleavage....is it actually yours or....
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
Lol yes it's all mine oh natural @Freeranger
SolidHeart · 46-50, M
Because they are not honest about how they present themselves on here. They probably go into a phase of depression.
Northerner · 70-79, M
It was just the same on EP.
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
I was on there around the same time @Northerner
Northerner · 70-79, M
@Sanderilla Did you use the same name?I had a different name on there.
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
[@Northerner it's the same as on EP
I've wondered that many times because some were close to me yet left without saying goodbye
SW-User
They had no connection with anyone would be my guess

@SW-User and there went another one. See what I mean?
yes..a good friend of mine just packed up and left
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
@Experienced33: always hard to see them gone
@Sanderilla: have other ways to contact her
Sanderilla · 61-69, F
That's great makes a difference for sure
