A forced farewell

In this moment I'm wondering if people know how hurt they can do with a simple click. I lost a friend on LJ some days ago, he removed me from his friendlist without a word. As I said in a previous post, I know that my LJ can be "particular" (to be gentle) and so I tried to justify that act. But it still hurt, since I believed we were friend beyond LJ. He has my email, he could say a word before doing something like that, and instead nothing. I didn't write to him since I had done in the past, when I noticed some strange things happening, a "cold" in our emails or comments that I hadn't found before, but he said that no, nothing had changed and I thought maybe it was a language barrier.

When he removed me from his friendlist, I removed him from mine too, it's my rule, but I fed his blog... stupid me, I was thinking to at least leaving a link. Then this night he removed me from another social network, again without a word... and now I hear the message loud and clear. I removed him too, from that social network and also from the feeds of my LJ. I also removed the tag I had of him but I didn't remove the posts.

I have an idea why he did so, and this make me even more sad. I really believed him a friend. I have learned a lesson more tonight.

ETA: I also deleted my account on Twitter, the worst personal experiences I had in these last months are due to that social network. If you were friend of me there, you know where to find me, I didn't friend no one on Twitter that it was not my friend also on LJ.

Defriending without a word of explanation is always a rude thing to do, especially if you thought you were friends with this person beyond LJ. I'm sorry it had to happen to you, dear, but sometimes people are just not worth it. Not all of them, though. Don't let this stop you from forming beautiful friendships online -- I know I value them as much (or more) than my RL friends!

*hugs*

I have more friend online of what I have in RL, but only few of them I consider real friend. He was one of them. Tonight is like losing someone near my heart. And what hurt more is that he even doesn't know it. Elisa

That really sucks. He should at least have communicated with you.

I fear more to know why than not knowing it. I fear it's a stupid reason, or something I can't change. Elisa
