I Hate Being Ignored

I haven't posted on here in two years. I didn't even realize I still had this account. I looked at some of my posts and wow, the memories. Anyways I just kinda felt like venting tonight, well now it's the early morning. I always get ghosted, especially if it's with a girl. It always happens without fail. Granted these are women I'd encounter online with no former, real life connection but is it normal to get ghosted 10/10 times? I mean sure, some conversations will fizzle out but I don't remember it being this bad for me where I'm ghosted every time. I'm 26 years old now and as you get older, it's a lot harder to connect with new people & make friends. I understand people have lives and more responsibility as we get older, but is it too much to ask to have just one single person maintain a conversation with me or initiate a message first? I have zero friends and no SO, so how am I ever going to change my social situation if every person I chat with ghosts me? I've heard people talk about getting ghosted and it'd last a week or even two, but I can't even last a full conversation. I don't say anything off putting, send salacious pics or blow them up when I don't get a response right away. Every time I get ghosted I leave it alone but each time it happens a part of me just dies. It makes me feel like I'm not worthy to maintain something with, not even a friendship. It sucks. I'm sure I'll get someone being a contrarian to everything I'm saying and I know it's not the end of the world but with how my life is already, it really hits me to the core. There's just never a scenario where I don't get ghosted...ever. I might as well legally change my name to Ghost.

I find it so hard to keep up conversations on here. Especially when there’s a lot of people messaging at once and there’s always that one person who wants your undivided attention. It’s not a convenient site for steady conversation. You are worthy to have a friendship with, I assume. If all you said about how you chat is true, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with you. This isn’t really the best place to go looking for friends either. I do hope you find something deep and meaningful. X

@WanderingThrough I hope you do realize I wasn't talking about getting ghosted from this site. As I said on the post, I haven't even been on this site for two years up until I wrote this just now. It's from more social sites like reddit in specific subs like r4r, and even dating apps. These are people specifically looking to meet and connect with new people. So even though I'm not to supposed to take it personal, I find myself taking it that way anyways. I know women get bombarded with messages no matter what app or site it is, so I guess a part of it is an uncontrollable factor but yet it doesn't sting any less. It is what it is.

@justicexoxoxo I just assumed that’s why you weren’t on this site for so long. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I take breaks when people are non-responsive. I never use those dating apps because they are always terrible at matching compatibility, at least in my experience. The majority of people are incredibly self-absorbed, so that has a lot to do with it as well, I think.

@WanderingThrough Yeah with dating apps you're just discarded like an old shoe. I've also learned thru experience that a lot of women on these apps and sites are very taken. A lot of them have admitted to having boyfriends but were having issues so they got on here to feel better. I'd be like, why are you even telling me this? Smh It's nuts. I had to just throw in the towel with these garbage apps. It's not like it's any easier to connect with people irl though, and even more impossible being as we're in a global pandemic right now. Even after it gets better, things won't ever really be the same, more people will be cautious. I may just need to accept that I'm a loner.
