Making friends here

@Boeing Yeah but it takes two to tango. The other person has to be willing to allow that work and time to take place

@Movingthegoalpost Right... to my experience people are usually fast, then they don't find what they're looking for and they go. I take my time.

@Boeing Yup I agree. People make up their minds pretty fast and the people I ever connected with very well happened on day 1. This looked like one of those instances but I happened to be wrong I guess

@CookieCrisp True, well that's good

@deathfairy I figured. I ain't like gonna call her out or anything by spilling who she is but I definitely had a convo with someone where not only did I think it was going very well, it was very flowing like butter. I haven't had a conversation like that with anyone in a long time. It was refreshing and it felt like we were going to be friends maybe, but I'd see her online and not respond anymore. It was definitely the longest conversation I had on here that's for sure. Thanks for letting me know though. It makes me feel a bit better knowing it's not me, it's just how it is. Even though deep down I already kinda knew, you just some times hope it's the exception when it happens

Honestly, I think the best way to prevent a “friendship death” is by starting to interact with the person in public posts, for a while. Getting to know them publicly, having a solid history or ground to stand on. @Movingthegoalpost

@deathfairy True. I even saw on someone's bio, about how she had to interact with people on each other's post before dming her" or some thing to that affect. I get it and I don't. You're still strangers either way, whether you interact on someone's post or not but I get it to some degree in terms of building rapport

@SpectralMourning True, everyone has trust issues at this point, but by ghosting they're being hypocritical, because they are doing the very thing that caused their distrust to begin with. It's just one of those thing where I say it is what it is. I didn't go out looking for a new friend btw. I just wanted to ask a random unbiased opinion on a new song that I had made. The conversation just naturally started flowing and I guess I started to feel a friendship brewing. That was my mistake, for even half way creating expectations (thought it all just happened fast so I didn't even have time to create expectations)

@Movingthegoalpost I understand. I don't mean to convey that I think it's okay they did that sort of thing...just the mindset I guess. Sorry they left you hanging.

@SpectralMourning Nah I didn't take it like that, no worries! You brought up a very good point and it's very true. It's distrust people have overall
