I would be interested in hearing others imput on the following situation;
I am a 39 yo. female. I joined this forum several months before Christmas in hopes to connect with other lonely individuals and perhaps even make some new friends in the process. Within the first few days of my joining a got a PM from another member. I know that I probably can not mention her username but she is a 56 yo woman who lives in Chicago. She claims to be very lonely and suffer from terrible shyness, never had any friends, was picked on in school and still relives the pain to this day, her family members are all dead and she is SOOO LONELY!!! and what a terrific friend she would be to someone if only they would give her the chance, blah, blah blah
anyway, to make a longer story a little shorter, we started writing back and forth to each other. We seemed to have decent conversations in the letters.
But I wrote to her about a week after Christmas and have not gotten a return letter since.
I did write to her to make sure that she did at least get my last email and she did write a small paragraph back to me about 2 weeks ago to apologize for not getting back to me,that she has been very busy at work with extra hours and that she said that she would try and write back over that coming weekend but needless to say it is now 2 weekends later and I still have not heard back.
I thought that i was very nice in my last email to her too. Since she told me that she was all alone for Christmas I told her that if I had known this that i would have invited her to spend it with my family and I also told her that I tried to send her an e card but was unable to do so.
I never even received so much as a quick thankyou for thinking about her.
I am just wondering if I am being too sensitive or am I right to think that this is very rude?
She was the one who initially wrote to me with the sob story of not having any friends and now I think I am beginning to see why this may be the case.
I would like to get others viewpoints on this.
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps others have had a similar experience on here with the same individual or someone else. I would be interested in hearing how you dealt with it.
Thanks in advance.
