When you leave here, will you announce it?

Some say it's rude to leave here without saying goodbye, and some say that saying goodbye isn't necessary...

I won't announce it. I find such attention unpleasant.
I will of course tell my friends, I'm not ghosting anyone. And I think everyone else will forget me within a few days even if they notice me gone. There is no rudeness in that.
@SW-User I’ll miss you. 🖤🤗

@DarkHeaven 💙 I'll be forgotten. It's just the nature of things.
@SW-User We all are. I used to be naive about it but being in the hospital opened my eyes. When I finally left, everyone was gone except for my parents.

@DarkHeaven 🤗 I learned it the hard way too. But more gradual than yours. That must have been really heart breaking.
@SW-User And that was physical. Anonymous social site... even more so. 🖤🤗
@SW-User Yeah. Jacob was the hardest but I understood. I’m sure you’ve read my goodbye a few times by now.
SW-User
@DarkHeaven I have. And I understand. Sometimes things get a bit much.
@SW-User So much of my life went to shit. It’s hard to explain it until I tell the whole story and then I’m just a freak. It’s better to stay quiet. 🖤
SW-User
@DarkHeaven I've read enough to realise the horrors you've been through, but of course not connected dots because I really do not want to assume and fill in the gaps.
I understand wanting to stay quiet. It is how I deal too.
@SW-User That’s why you’re so special and why I would miss you. You get it without having to know it all. That’s rare, sweetheart. Real rare. 🖤🤗

@SW-User I'm pretty sure I'll be forgotten quickly also 🤷‍♀️.

@latinbutterfly It's just how things are. People get busy and distracted in their lives.
@SW-User Being a mom with a full time job, there are days that I don't get the chance to log on, or I completely forget that this place exists lol.
SW-User
@latinbutterfly When I have my day full... with whatever I am busy with, I don't think of this place either. :)
@latinbutterfly @SW-User I was shocked last birthday when my friend Chantou created me a birthday email card from comments from people here. I had been gone for a full three months, I think, and it just goes to show you. You don’t always know who you’ve impacted in life.

I was so touched. She’s so good to me.
SW-User
@DarkHeaven Oh I remember that. I posted to it too. :) I've never really had anyone make a fuss on mine... some people remember and wish me. Still really touching.
@SW-User I’d miss you, my friend. I promise. 🖤🤗
SW-User
@DarkHeaven Oh yes, that was very sweet of Chantou. You've definitely touched many here on SW, myself included 🙂.
