Why is social interaction so hard?

Admittedly I'm not great in keeping conversations going, but lately I've really invested in taking initiative. This led to a few really nice chats, but only for people to then stop logging in for days, leaving me on read repeatedly or only giving one short answer a day after the initial seemingly great connection.

I'm getting real tired of getting my hopes up for one afternoon ora few days, only to return to loneliness afterwards. It's almost worse than not finding a connection with anyone in the first place. 😕

I'm sorry this had been your experience. Although I don't think this has happened with us directly, this is a very common pattern for me. I'm here a lot for a day or two, and then I'm busy and gone for a few days. If that ever happens to you with me, please just know that is the nature of my SW-life and it is because of work, not because of you. 🙂

@sarabee1995 I don't think it happened between us, but thank you for your explanation. Hopefully it is something similar with the others and they'll return some day.

I am sorry to hear that you long to feel a connection with people.
I think that need in me died more than a decade ago so if I ever dropped a convo is not because of anything others do. I just have nothing to offer.

I think you shouldn’t expect that from anyone. Finding someone with whom you can talk for hours/months/years without getting bored is rare. So expect others to be busy even if they like/love you….

It's hard for me too because I don't like most people ...I'm polite but that's it
