I spend a lot of time, in real life, apologizing to my friends. I'm not the best person, and honestly, kind of a bitch more often than not. I try to be a good friend though, to always make amends as soon as I can. In real life, it's easier. Sure, you're face to face with the person, and can see their disappointment in you, but at least you get the chance. I don't know how to deal with it when an online friend gets mad at me, blocks me, and then just vanishes.
I'm off to a fucking great start on my New Years resolution to not offend any of my friends... Didn't even make it a month.

I've been in that situation. I had a friend I used to talk with a heck of a lot. We knew each other pretty well, got along, had a lot of the same interests and what not. I'm not really sure what I did but they ended up completely blocking me and shutting me entirely out of their life. There's a little more to the story, but it's mostly irrelevant. It hurts bad and that sting doesn't go away. It's been six months, now, and I'm still not over it.
I know I'm just a stranger on the internet, but if you need to talk to someone or vent about it or anything else don't hesitate to send me a note.

*snuggles* I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, people suck at understanding each other perfectly through text and so sometimes important info just slips through the cracks. It always hurts, especially when later you realize the obvious signs. It gets better though, especially as you make new friends. I hope you feel better soon. You always make a lot of people happy when new art comes out, so just remember that not everything you do makes people sad or angry!
The way I look at things, take my advice as you will it is simply that advice. When a "friend" defriends me, blocks me, refuses to talk to me, and avoids me, They become not worth my time. I am an adult, my friends are all adults, if you will not act like an adult and talk to me like an adult about your problems with me, then you are throwing a very childish temper tantrum and you dont deserve to be around me any more. Call me harsh, call me cold, call me what ever you please, but I do not accept childishness in this form from my friends, around me.
I've been in the same boat at times. Sometimes I fear I hurt someone to the point that they not only block me but decide to do something really dangerous to hurt themselves in the real world. The best thing you can do is try to keep calm and think clearly about the responses you send. Online you have time to think of a response to a friend.
I kinda know how it feels, same issues and everything. With the passing of Jasen, it has been a rough year as well. Look, I know we haven't talked too much in the past but, hey, I think you are an ok person at least. And well, with the passing of my hero, it has kind of made me realize just how fragile life is. So, If you ever need another shoulder to vent on or just chat, I'm available.
