Re: Sad or stupid reasons you've parted ways with friends

[(Anonymous)]

When people are blindsided by random outbursts of drama, it's often hard to tap into the empathy reservoir right away, the initial WTF is so strong.

THIS^.

True, but there's nothing stopping either person from going "sorry" or at least "um, what was that?" some time later.

That's fair. I guess I'll reserve judgment bc we don't know whether it was really "drama". (A simple "hey, why'd you unfollow me? Did I do something wrong? I'm a bit hurt" is hardly "drama".)

nayrt

It's a bit of drama, IMO. I guess it just seems so fourth grade. "Are you maaaaaaaaad at me??" accompanied by sad puppy eyes. It really puts me off when adults act like that.

Wait, so as an adult, we're automatically supposed to stop caring if someone stops talking to you? (and if it's a fandom or online only friend, unfollowing your social media with no explanation is basically the equivalent of ignoring your texts/calls).

I mean, I have no idea what level OP started in at, but a simple, "Hey, you unfollowed me, did I say something to offend you?" doesn't feel like fourth grade or out of line. What if I did offend them? Maybe I said something that was rude and didn't realize it and this is my chance to learn from it.

meh, that interpretation sounds like a lot of projecting (or at least jumping to conclusions) to me.

Re: Sad or stupid reasons you've parted ways with friends

AYRT

I was referring to the second reaction, where OP, by their own admission, got mad at friend for not taking their worry over the unfollowing seriously. Pretty sure this is the moment things went south for them.

Re: Sad or stupid reasons you've parted ways with friends

[diet_poison]

oh, ok. yeah you might be right there.

Exactly. I'm not cold hearted, but if a friend blew up at me or came over all weirdly needy and accusatory over a Twitter unfollowing, I'd be confused as hell (because seriously?), then annoyed. Just because someone's exaggerated a minor thing into a big emergency in their own mind doesn't mean I have to treat it like one. I might be startled into giving an apology, but frankly I'd resent it later because I'd feel like I was pressured into apologizing when I didn't do anything wrong, yet I'm being treated like I did. And then I'd probably do a slow fade because if someone feels entitled to start such drama over a Twitter unfollowing, they're probably going to be more trouble than they're worth.
