I think I just don't care haha. Unless we were getting closer or were already close, then it definitely hurts.
I don't know if it's a self-protection thing, or if it's honestly just a thing where I want to give them space. I just don't think friendships or relationships should ever be forced. I do feel, though, communication is key and if someone is pulling away, someone needs to communicate as to why it's happening just so there's understanding and closure. But, that typically doesn't happen lol.

It's called self-preservation... or "I won't let you hurt me." In fact, it's our human nature to recoil from what we perceive as rejection. But only Christ won't disappoint. If we expect people not to ever disappoint us, we set ourselves to be hurt. Nobody will ever meet our needs like Jesus. His love never fails.

Usually if a person doesn't engage as much in the conversation then it's their end of concluding the discussion for those involved. At least, that's how I've seen it. Attempting once or twice to ignite the spark is considerate in of itself, and if they still withdraw or not give much for their discussion then it's safe to say that there's no further reason to have discussion from there. I could be reading this wrong and of course it can depend on whether if this professional-related or everyday type of interaction.

Yikes! That's too much like human understanding. LOL Seriously, I don't like jumping through mental hoops and all that analyzing stuff. I'd rather be forthright with people so they can be free to be who they are. I'd rather just treat people the way I wanna be treated and leave everything in God's hands.
We can't possibly know what's in someone else's heart. We don't even know what's in our own heart unless God's Spirit reveals it, remember? Our flesh (emotions) are all over the place like waves tossed about. Only the Spirit of Christ in us is unchanging.
What's so wrong with asking someone, "Hey, what's up? I haven't heard from you for awhile." It's waaay easier than trying to guess what's going on.

i had an online friend last year. he had to move out of the country due to work, but we stayed in touch. i stopped hearing from him (via email). i emailed him a couple of more times with no response. he was supposed to return to the states earlier this year, so i wrote asking him to let me know if he made it all right. i still haven't heard from him. so i got a clue and left him alone lol.
i would've preferred him telling me, "hey.. you're a cool cat, but leave me alone." lol

So, on my way back from the pharmacy I stopped by my dad's work as he was closing up shop and so he wanted me to close the garage door on the warehouse and it has to he done manually. Well, I misunderstood how heavy it was and it lifted me off the ground. I was lucky when I fell I didn't land on my bad foot, but it was fun
