When they disappear

I have a friend on here that randomly vanished. He went from logging in and chatting almost daily to nothing for almost 2 months. Needless to say I'm very worried. I know they don't offer it to me, but i just wish i could some how find out of they are ok.

Now it seems like another friend is slipping away. Another person I chatted with almost daily. But now, it's like there is no interest to continue our friendship and it's so confusing and hurtful.

They may "just" be internet friends. But when you talk to a person almost every day for over 3 years you kinda get attached.

It is sad how the world has changed so much and mostly for the negative in the last few years. What is the name of the first friend? Perhaps someone has seen or heard from them. It is a choice.

Can you express to this other friend how you are feeling? At least that is a form of closure if he or she leaves without further contact. Honesty is the best way to handle problems.

I think especially internet friends are to be treasured. Attachments upon friends online can be intimate. One can share secrets. One can banter. One can be closer online than to friends who are in the "other world". I wish you closer friendships. Ones that last as long as your heart wants them to.
