What dragged (drug?) me out of hiding?

[kenyacandoit]

A question.

Why would I allow the actions of someone I don't even know hurt me?

It's stupid, right? Well, what makes it stupid is that it is an LJ friending thing. I mean, I usually read the strum und drang that goes on in other people's LJs about friending and the un thereof, and just roll my eyes and think "it's just LJ

Aw, you don't know me, but I still get hugs! Thanks.

I suspect your life isn't really boring - or at least not any more boring than everyone else's!

It hurts everyone when it happens, I don't care how blase they say they are about it.

Thanks for commenting. If noone had, I'd really be depressed!

Seriously, this is why I don't look at my user info.

I mean, I know, when I stop seeing locked posts by Person X, that I failed to be interesting enough or whatever, and that makes me a little sad, especially if it's someone I thought I was closer to than I obviously was, but seeing it confirmed just depresses me more. (I mean, I KNOW my life is boring, and I don't have time to comment, but c'mon! I'll get better! I swear!)

It's the big drawback of the LJ format.

Which is the TOTALLY LONG way of saying, it's not just you.

Thanks for saying so. Thing is, I made it all worse by asking, hat in hand, if they'd possibly friend at their new LJ. I never do that. It's humiliating. But in this instance, I really enjoy and am entertained by this person's daily life posts. But they wrote back a not encouraging response, basically saying "I *told* everyone I was cutting down the FL to people I actually know, and btw, how did you figure out my new LJ name?" It was just...guh, so embarrassing and made me feel even worse than the defriending. I'd much rather they hadn't responded to my request than rub my nose in it, you know? That's what I get for acting like a big baby and actually *asking* to be re-friended. ::shudders::

*gropes you*
Now, that will give you something to post about.
*gropes you more, just 'cause I can*

*hughughug* It always hurts when you get defriended, I know. I try not to think anything of it when it happens to me, but I still feel a twinge and wonder just what I did wrong.
