"None of [your] friends are responding to [you]"
Well I'm the one not being responded to here lol can I take this as me being,,, what's the word for not even being a friend? Acquaintance-zoned?
Btw that's a joke lol, I know you weren't referring to me and you're actually probably thinking of how I'm busy, but I still expect a response

Well I can explain my lack of reply to the last post on this thread lol what could I say that would be funny and not just plain weird? Also I didn't think just typing an "XD" would cut it lol I mean that's what I felt like but that post deserves a better answer.
Yeah I don't really mean you guys on the forums hahah you're like, idk you and everyone else reply really quickly tbh. I'm the one who takes longer to reply online.
I mean like it's kind of a bummer when I try to message my rl friends who show up like online a lot and they just don't reply. It wouldn't hurt them to just say hi back, or maybe just send an extra emoji,,,

By the way, I did read your inactivity post, but I wanted to find a good motivational picture (one I haven't used yet) before I sent a "good-luck" post to you :3.
This one isn't exactly what I mean, since you do need to focus on school and work and stuff, but remember
Good luck with school! I know you'll pull through well, and afterwards we can maybe chat and do stuff together and with Echo :D and everyone else too Ig lol.

Well, I'm not supposed to just toss out my standards out there like math equations, but I prefer even "XDDDDDDD" over "XD" if you get why I'm like that
I also spent so long waiting to see if I could make a better response, but screw me being unoffensive. So essentially, I don't think you'll listen, because last time when you were talking about some of your friends being mean to you in the past and when I said that isn't worthy of forgiveness you did not listen, and so I don't expect you to listen this time around, but sounds like you got acquaintance-zoned and that you shouldn't be considering such people your friends. Sounds like you need new friends, basically, I say with 100% certainty
Thanks for the image lol

Ok sorry I missed this message lol
I can try to type "XDDDDD" lol but after a while it would lose originality. Anyways, yeah I'll keep that in mind!
I don't see how you're being offensive there so dw tho.
Well, I should probably say that my life in friends and related stuff is complicated. And, I dunno, it's just hard for me to not "forgive" someone, or maybe idk I guess I'm just weird. Plus where in the world will I get new friends xD all of you guys online are like my only other source of friends.
Maybe it's just that my friends are like busy or something. I'll eventually see them again too, so I probably shouldn't be doing such a fuss about their not replying to messages. Shouldn't be selfish, y'know.
Well, I don't want to write too much here lol please concentrate on doing your homework and maybe when you're freer you can bring this up if you want. Don't feel like I'm tryina avoid the topic lol it's just that I don't want you to get too distracted.
Offline
I'm glad you liked the picture xD please keep it in mind and (again) good luck! :D
Offline
Yeah, you're right about that.
Maybe I can't relate, since for me even just one friend is enough for me, but I don't think you're correct there. For me, an accurate comparison would be--you only have bad apples. But you aren't supposed to just say "Eh, they're the only apples I have" and eat them. You throw them away nonetheless and wait for an opportunity to buy actually fresh and organic apples that will be good for your long-term health. (Or you could compost them. Better for the environment that way.)
I also think you're not defining "selfish" correctly. If you're only looking at yourself, then sure. But being online while not even responding at all is what's actually selfish for them. Everyone has busy times in their lives, so there's no excuse for anyone to always just say they're busy, not to mention it's not like you're asking them to ask essays. Or even just a few sentences.
Just so you know, unless you plan to be a hermit, the real world does exist. You're not just going to be 17 forever. (If that's even your age. You're stuck at 15 for me.) You'll be an adult soon and that will mean many more social opportunities in general. Or at least, that's the likely case.
Again, the only reason why I'm saying this is because I care. I don't expect you to listen to me at all. But know that friendships do define a person, and it's not worth working on what will never be well in the first place. You have your own judgment, and obviously I don't have the strongest faith in it in this case, reasonably or not, but that doesn't mean you don't have one. Ultimately, it's your life, your choices, your friendships, and I don't have an actual say in it.

Tbh I think it's not really the quantity of friends but more like the relationship I have with them.
It's interesting that we do talk well irl but apparently online the same thing doesn't happen as much? I mean here I'm talking about the friends near my age group, and like lol only one of them messages me constatly and honestly Mom just told me to mute her and stuff has happened so idk if I should call her friend and stuff but anyways that's a single case.
I think I understand your point, but idk it just doesn't feel right to me to "unfriend" my current friends when we've been building trust for literally years. Rn I'm also thinking of an specific case lol well.
Ha, feel free to thibk of me as a 15 year old xD I'm probably that age (or younger) at heart lol. But like the propsect of making new friends sounds fun, but it's funny that's not a priority for me lol. I said like, it's not really how many friends I have or want to have.
Thank you for caring. Well, I have you and the forum peeps, no? You're friends and I'm closer to some than to others.
Lol the eternal struggle with me is to say "no thanks" when someone wants to talk to me, even if I don't like them or am not really up to it. It'd be really strange if I passed up a chance to chat, or if irl I denied a conversation altogether.
And lol I think I'm exaggerating this whole issue. I mean, sure, my friends may not have been replying much in previous months or taking initiative to talk, but that doesn't automatically make them bad people, right? I'm sure they mean well even if they don't say it. Like at least they read my messages lol.

owo Social experiment: From now on I just read all your messages and don't respond. I'm genuinely curious as to how long this can last, and since you gave them an automatic not-bad-people ticket I'm sure I can demonstrate that doing so totally isn't a matter of having low E.Q. in the first place and not caring enough to even take three seconds to say "hi, I'm busy, sorry"

Well, I mean sure, doing that won't make you a bad person, and besides I know you're busy so it's fine.
Also I'd say it's different because I do expect you to reply lol. Well anyways. It's ok if you want to do this.
Don't expect me to last too long lol but anyways talk to you later, I guess.

I have a headcanon that Paymon sometimes took Sunny and Lux birdwatching. I know Sollux got really excited over that xD she still likes birds.
Do you think younger Sunny was interested in that?
Offline
Okay so ironically I was gonna base a post off of friendship and stuff here since I'm about done with stuff I have to do on this computer, but since you don't need friends I'm just posting to post. Yay!
Hope you're having a good day and that you can eat rice
Goodbye.

Ngl I wasn't expecting you to reply here at all until a month more passed lol so I guess thank you for the random post???
You've been chatting a lot with Echo and not replying here though.
Offline
Hmm, well, I did say I'd ignore you on chat threads. I took your post as I could post after not being "busy" anymore. Then, I was going to post a post about friendship as my first post after that, but like I said, never mind on that. It probably would've been a decision I would regret, anyways. So I'll just keep some things in mind.

I didn't understand it that way, and I didn't mean it that way either.
Lol I've been here just kinda suffering because of that lol though it's my fault in the end.
Anyways good job for finishing your school year
Offline
Thanks! It was actually supposed to mean that I'd ignore you for any message, so you were actually correct in not understanding it that way specifically, but I actually do have some standards. I guess those standards entail not doing something as dastardly as ignoring someone completely.
Well, there's more explanation that was supposed to be in the 'friendship post,' but again, that was a bad idea in my standards.
-Galaxian-
Offline
I guess you had your reasons.
Tbh maybe it wouldn't have been that bad if you had ignored me completely instead. Would've felt different than seeing you reply only to certain posts and ignoring our chat thread while you did talk a lot with someone else.
Offline
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
-Galaxian-

Yeah if a situation like this ever comes up again.
Why did you even decide to ignore this thread though? I mean I think you wanted to make a point, but why
Offline
That would've been discussed in the post, but it's a bad idea to say it now. For now, I'll just say that I think I've figured out things emotionally, and for your end, some lessons are definitely better learned on one's own; that's one of things I've figured out for myself.

I'd ask for an explanation but you'd probably just tell me to figure it out.
Anyways what can I say lol, I'm just salty.
Offline
Actually, I wouldn't. I'd just keep saying that it's a bad idea. Anyways, like for characters, what's the fun in telling them how their development will go? Though hopefully in this case it's more positive development.
Like no one else would say, a little short-term saltiness goes well in the long run. Does anyone else say that? I don't think so, yeah, no.
