I hate when this happens, but you are doing it right. sometimes you gotta let them go and hope they start responding again. Maybe they hate you, maybe something happened, maybe you got too close and that cared them, or maybe they are having a bad week and will get back to you soon.

You might never know. It's their story. You gotta keep writing yours.

+1.

(You sound like a nice person OP. I hope your friend gets back to you, but if they don't just know it doesn't necessarily mean you did anything wrong. These things happen.)

I definitely couldn't say it better.

I've had this problem from both sides. It's difficult to choose a course of action or to know what the "right" thing to do is. I end up just sending random messages to people anyway, figuring they don't have to reply or even read them but the fact is whatever it was made me think of them and so I send it. There are probably a bunch of people who are all "wtf is up with this person, why do they keep sending me random messages even though I never reply?" but I've kind of taught myself not to care. Kind of. I either don't care or I have a panic attack after hitting send. It's random.

def read that as Something Awful (that is, having an account) at first which fits but in an entirely different light, very nice

You sound like a good friend and your buddy is lucky to have someone like you. I hope things work out well for you guys.

If your friend is anything like me, they really do still want to talk to you. Reminding them of that (directly, not through f!s) might be a really good thing to do. I'm totally projecting, but I've waited so long to respond to a good fandom friend of mine that I doubt he wants to hear from me now. But if he contacted me again, I'd be really happy, and I would try harder to stay in contact because I miss him. So it's very possible that your friend is in a similar position.

I'm sorry, OP. I hope you can reconnect with your friend sometime, but I you gotta move on with your life. *hugs*

Oh...

Well that sure makes a whole lot more sense.
Now I just feel stupid.

This gave me chills. Aside from one word - fandom - it could be my verbatim feelings towards the person I still consider to be my best friend. We'd been out of touch for years - I was starting to get the feeling she considered me pushy and would prefer to avoid me, so I stopped initiating contact...and never heard from her again.

Then she emailed me out of the blue years later. We talked a few times, visited once - then she started avoiding me again. I got one email apologizing profusely and saying she'd been through some things that made her reluctant to leave the house - I replied that I understood and wasn't hurt at all, and was still happy to talk any time she felt like it.

Since then, I've heard nothing. I miss her like crazy, but I can't stand the thought of getting in touch and having her think 'Oh no, her again'. But what if she really was going something bad and needed a friend...?

No useful advice here, OP, just my sympathies.

Off topic, but what is that third symbol from the left? It makes me think of a demonic uterus and ovaries.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-21 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't see it well because I'm on my phone. It might be House Hornwood which is a moose?

(Anonymous) 2013-05-21 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the House Greyjoy kraken sigil from Game of Thrones.

OP the only thing I'd suggest is sending one message saying you'll leave her alone as you haven't heard for so long, but you'd like to hear from her whenever she's ready. That way they know you are always willing to listen.

I've had it from both sides, and been in the position of wanting to lose contact with a friend and feeling relieved when they stopped contacting me. It's just one of those things, your friend may be anxious, or may just want to stop engaging with some people.
