Do you ever miss your friends?

[Cure Whip]

I decided I wanted to be more active on here! Now that I'm looking back I've come to the realization that many of my old friends aren't active anymore. Do you ever wonder what happened to your friends or miss them? And does it pull at your heart strings?

 

[Buttonsy]

I'm not sure if you mean people I'm actively still friends with, or else old friends I had a falling out with, but either way, yes. If I'm still actively friends with someone, I'm the kinda person who gets kinda bummed out when I don't see them for a while, and with friends I had some kind of a falling out with or drifted away from, I still wonder what could have been from time to time, but I try not to dwell on it.

Years ago, back when CF was a thing and you could still play online, I had this friend named Seb and we visited each others towns a lot
but then he kind of just? stopped existing? lol, like, he was never online on the forums we met on, and since there wasn't any form of IM in the game, I had no way of contacting him. I always wonder what happened to him and how he's doing nowadays

 

[RedTropicalPeachyFish]

Yes I do, and that is exactly why I've been here. 'Cause some of them get back at times, and ( or to ) say hi to me.
Just recently I've heard from someone who I liked to be with in NL so much and was actually one of very few girls I felt comfortable being with. I'm talking bout you, Leeling. haha.

There were a few people on here I used to PM regularly, and I was part of a group chat on kik for a long time. We were all late high school/ early college age so eventually everyone started responding less and less because everyone just got busy. I have one on instagram, but I haven't really talked to anyone else from the chat and I don't think my old friends from this website really get on anymore. I'm hoping I might meet a few new people again and maybe start up a new chat group once the switch game comes out. I'm kind of just halfheartedly lurking on TBT now.

I lost some close online friends due to death (one an accident, the others ill health) and I miss them.

Other than those instances where they are gone forever no. I notice people are gone and might think it would be nice to talk to them again but I wouldn't say I miss them in an emotional sense.

 

[moonbyu]

I do. My friend just moved to San Diego and she hardly ever calls me. I just wonder how she is sometimes. As for online friends, I don't really miss them. I just stalk their page to see if they will ever come on.

back in 2014, when i was 12/11 or so? i played this game which was like tfm but a hacked version so you had unlimited money and whatever buttt i had a really nice group of friends on there ! one girl wasn't too nice to me and she bullied me constantly but heck. i'd even take her back. i think of them sometimes, specifically one other girl who went by "buddy" me and her were really close and she was such a nice friend so i really do miss her a lot. i wish i could rekindle with all of them but unfortunately the site closed down, and even if it didn't i'm sure they wouldn't play on it much anymore which makes me so sad i would just love the chance to talk to them one more time, that's all that i would want.

 

[mogyay]

online there's more than a couple people i miss so much, i've never been that good at replying to people at the best of times but when i'm in a bad place mentally i just shut out people completely, for friends i've known for so long they realise i just need space and time and they fortunately wait it out and hold no grudges but for online friends it's hard to explain sometimes and when it's been so long sometimes it's just uncomfortable explaining that you didn't reply because you were shutting them out, there's no nice way to say it. i realise it makes me a bad person for just ignoring them but it's hard to explain, i really wish i wasn't like this though and it's something i want to improve on. but in conclusion, yeah, there's one particular person on here i miss and i might message them soon and see how they're doing even though they probably think i'm a huge flake aaa

I had a situation kind of similar to this! I actually had two friends I would play WW and then CF with, and while I lost contact with both, there's one I remember clearly and the other... no idea. I just have him down as my "best buddy" in CF, and I know his name, but I have no idea where he lived, how I even met him (I'm assuming ACC), etc.

There are other people I miss from other sites, and there are people I miss from here, too, but I'm lucky enough to still be able to talk to the people who matter a lot to me.

 

[uwuzumakii]

Not anymore.

I completely understand. If I feel a bit distance between a bond; I instantly want to rekindle that fire. As long as you don't forget about them completely, everything is okay, right?

I have a very similar story! When I used to play an MMO I became close friends with a girl named Jenny. She had completely disappeared from a guild, and I frantically searched for her in PvP. We were extremely close as well, but she never told me why she disappeared. Sometimes I wonder if she's okay. Jenny struggled with a lot of things. As long as you have good memories, they'll never be gone from your heart!

All of our friends would be very happy to know that we think about them. As I stated earlier, as long as we care, remember, or even wonder where they are... they'll always have a part of us. We should treasure our bonds and continue to make more! I'm sorry if this thread got a bit sentimental. I'm glad people are able to express their thoughts, and feelings!

Nope, not really. I’ve been to a lot of different sites, MMOs, and forums online growing up and I don’t really miss my online friends at all because I know there’s a chance we can always find each other and talk again. Case in point after coming back here from a three year hiatus I was able to find and talk to some of my old online friends and also meet some new ones. Kind of a Space Dandy related reference, but “He’s out there somewhere, alive and kicking in all those alternate realities, baby.”

 

[Saylor]

There are a few who I've really missed. I had a friend online years ago who I used to talk to every day until we kind of had a falling out. I got really reclusive and after we had stopped talking for a while I decided to delete all of her contact info so I could put what happened with her behind me, but I'd always felt bad and wondered if she was okay. She wound up getting back in touch with me last summer and we're good friends again, though, so it all worked out in the end with her.

There are some people from here who I haven't talked to in a long time, and I miss them and I hope we'll talk again sometime in the future, but I'm lucky enough that I'm still able to talk to most of those I've gotten closest to.

 

[Snowesque]

Sort of; most of them are just in way better place than I am at the moment, are too busy, or just do not have the same interests anymore. People who I knew really well through a site that was closed upon sudden notice and was the only way to contact them mostly, so I could not really do anything about that...

 

[duckykate]

no i absolutely despise all my friends

 

[XxNicolexX]

Not rlly, I had a online stalker once who was obsessed with me so ever since I get freaked out if anyone wonders what I?m doing or misses me it just freaks me out and reminds me to much of when I had a online stalker. It was a traumatizing thing that I feel I will never ever be fully ok ever again ever since that happend

 

[dizzy bone]

Yes and no. I miss the time period when I was active on other forums and made really great online friends with similar interests. Eg. I miss the time when I was into World of Warcraft and made really great friends on there, but lost in touch and have no way of contacting them anymore. Now most of my older forum friends moved to Facebook so it?s easy to catch up with them, but after a while you realise you have different interests now or haven?t talked in a while and it?s harder to close the distance... Maybe I?m just bad at keeping in touch, idk lol.

 

[Mr_Persona]

nah

I was able to rely on a few elsewhere for many game related things. Now I don't bother with petitions anymore since I joined.
