The people who dont just wait for me to reply to them but reply to me and show an interest in me too. <br /><br />Everyone else I won't tell. Why should I? If they have never showed an interest in anything else I said in the past then I don't think they deserve a goodbye when I leaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084007660501231065.post-65837446397259333142011-05-02T10:29:43.383+10:002011-05-02T10:29:43.383+10:00I wrote a goodbye.

That's just me.<br /><br />I don't think this is a reflection of society being disposable - that's a generalisation. I just think some people are vocal about their commitment to friendship and don't deliver in a physical way. We all know real life people like that. And the internet makes it easier for them to sound like friends but not act like it.<br /><br />But that's not everyone.

Or has common courtesy gone the way of common sense and manners?<br /><br />Anon2 - agreed - internet friendships do tend to be more dispoable - but that doesn't make them less important. People still do care. People still can be concerned for you and you your welfare. I just wonder if the internet is mirroring what we see in society and the less caring bit that everyone hates, yet is so willing to participate in?<br /><br />Kelly - agreed - you do sometimes just HAVE to go for whatever reason - but to just drop from internet society, without forewarning, doesn;t that reflect that way people also probably behave in real life, therefore making real life less believable and makes you feel less like participating?<br /><br />In other words - have the habits of the internet infringed upon the real world?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010538586118008820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084007660501231065.post-60004978349431917562011-04-30T21:31:38.093+10:002011-04-30T21:31:38.093+10:00Sometimes you just have to go and go nowSometimes you just have to go and go nowKelly atnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084007660501231065.post-84337361316302089742011-04-30T16:17:42.992+10:002011-04-30T16:17:42.992+10:00I think it's making it to personal to say... t...I think it's making it to personal to say... temporary fill-ins in your life until someone/something better comes along?<br /><br />The truth is people leave blogging and social networking sites for many reasons - the most common I know of, is that too much time is being taken out of their lives, someone has found them they didn't want to find, work has found out about it and there's a risk with that, the novelty has worn off from using the site, some other site becomes popular to use.<br /><br />Internet friendships are more disposable but it's rarely for the same reasons as real life friendships break down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084007660501231065.post-1537768465974296142011-04-30T15:46:51.368+10:002011-04-30T15:46:51.368+10:00You can't take the internet too personally.

I just do - I mean they are people after all, they have feelings, they have klifes, they have family, they have health and ill-health. You hope they are okay - I suppose I don't like the suddeness of it all<br /><br />Andrew - Wouldn't it be nice if you knew that they intended to abandon the blog, the profile, social media? Wouldn't you like to know that at least when they deliberately moved away from whatever media that they were okay?<br /><br />The other avenue is........ has modern society laid claim to the abandon without guilt, where you can just walk away and have no fear that others may actually be waorried about you, even if you've never met them?<br /><br />Is society so disposable that friendships both IRL and 'net are just throw away, temporary fill-ins in your life until someone/something better comes along?<br /><br />I wonder....................Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010538586118008820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084007660501231065.post-84339839391569756432011-04-26T21:41:38.674+10:002011-04-26T21:41:38.674+10:00It just seems to be how it is.
