I used to have an online friend who never really texts me first unless I do. Since they’re a leftie, I wished them on Happy Left-handers Day and they replied that I don’t need to wish them, which I only did to spark some conversation. This put me off and I went “Alr I won’t bother texting you ever” and they went “Ok”.

Haven’t texted them in 3 months, neither did they (as they don’t ever). Idk who is the idiot here, me, she or both.

I don’t really like ending friendships from my side, so I might text them on her birthday and see how it goes.

For the whole paragraph the pronoun in use is 'them ’ except for the end, it is ‘she’. Can I assume her sex is female and her gender is something different?

Also you sound like a caring and persistent person. It is valuable to have a friend like this.

No haha, I just didn’t bother towards the end to keep making the story as less detailed as possible about her.

Thank you! That’s something nobody has told me since I am very introverted irl.

So trivial lol, maybe both of you are kinda in a petty mood that day.

If it was me I’d probably just ask what went wrong immediately cuz I’m impatient.

I hope you can make up.

I know right! Yeah if I remember correctly I think I was in my sort of bad mood and texted them to ease up the mood.

What a bizarre reaction to something very innocuous. I knew a woman on FB who thought that “thumbs upping” her comments was somehow offensive. I wrote her off as nuts.

Online texting/interactions do cause a lot of misunderstanding especially when you are talking to someone who is not very online.

My friend wasn’t that simple though, she kept insisting that she didn’t care if I texted or not. Now that I think about it, I am not very sure to text her back.

Considering that the last person I knew online was a “friend” (something I’m really not sure, because I guess I’m not even sure what friendship is?), the person accused me of using AI to talk to her, because I often seem cold and emotionless (even though I’m just numb due to events that has been happening throughout my entire existence, and I guess that’s different from not being able to feel emotions).

Speaking of offline people, the last person I knew (also not sure whether it was friendship or not) betrayed my trust, they did a thing behind my back, a thing that I became aware of, but the same person continued to hide it from me and insisted of referring to me as “friend”.

Well, maybe I never had friends at all, and I guess I won’t as I’m now in my 30s. It’s okay, as I often mentally repeat to myself, every coffin can only hold a single body anyways (apologies for this memento mori).

Yes, I’ve never heard of anyone making a friend past 30. Impossible!
