What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

As someone who inadvertently drifts in and out of friendship conversations from time to time without meaning to, I get this. Sometimes my bucket just gets too full across all the facets of my life. But I know it sucks, having been on both sides of it. Truth is, there's no good way to let go of a friendship/relationship if both parties aren't in agreement about it ending.
Drifting in and out because of life is much different than disappearing/ghosting and removing all trace of yourself that you can.

Oh, I agree. That's why I don't understand it. It's essentially like ignoring that the person on the other side is a full ass human.
 
Frankly, I don't understand this. It's a level of sociopathy that is hard for me to follow. Have i had more casual things? Of course! Have I always tried to be up front that I was more interested in casual, flirtatious fun? Also yes.
I don’t get it either. Maybe they are narcissists who just need an attention and admiration fix, long married people who still need to know they are attractive, whatever. To get this they take advantage of people to met their own needs for validation without regard for the impact on those they are using.
They definitely feel that they deserve special treatment and rules of respect, honesty and common curtesy don’t apply to them.
 
That was too big of rip 😜🍃🍃🍃

Eta:

I have an ESA, a 12 year old Chihuahua.... He's attached at my hip....
After I took said, "huge hit"....
He's been exceptionally by my side.... Maybe because it sent me into a minor anxiety attack!

I am here to preach the power of pets🥰

Anyone drinking electrolytes? I’m looking for zero sugar. Tried liquid IV but it’s salty. I like the Ryse stuff but it’s expensive. Can’t do Gatorade….too many colonoscopy preps 🤢

Any other suggestions?
Liquid iv is awful imo. I’m afraid I can’t help much as I’m one of those people who needs sugar in my electrolyte fluid.
I drink swinchers grape rehydration packets that you add water to, I add them to a full cup of water because otherwise they are too strong.
I believe they have a zero sugar option, plus they have lots of flavors, I’m just stuck on grape.
 
I know it wasn’t 😝

I think when people do actually delete it’s because they’re embarrassed or had second thoughts of leaving it posted and therefore would rather not draw attention to the fact that they deleted it by leaving a reason. Even though tens of people probably saw it at that point 🤷🏻‍♀️
I sometimes delete a post when it doesn't look right and there is no other way to fix it. That is often from a pic or link that is broken. I try to make quality content. 😎
 
I think it’s the insincerity and lack of empathy that bothers me the most.
I’m so late to this convo but… @Girly_girl I’m so sorry this happened to you.

I have a few thoughts on ghosting, the slow fade or “I don’t remember ever talking to you.”
As said before I think it’s cowardly and rude and more of a reflection of them. It’s easier to just run than have a conversation. And when confronted the excuses are juvenile and selfish and most times pathetic. It cheapens what was and for over thinkers it can destroy their self confidence. People in general tend to be self centered and selfish,

The worst is “you deserve better” and “I’m not good enough”. It takes the responsibility off the person and puts it on the victim. If you say you love someone and then pull this crap…you never really loved them.

Anyway my two cents. Off my soapbox now.

Also “ for your sake” That kind of thing really angers me, when the person puts it on the victim, it’s abuse.
It’s like a game, pull someone in, make them feel like their friends, important, special or whatever and then vanishing completely, until they reappear as someone new.
