Out of all the people I spoke to daily and considered friends on Twitter, only one reached out to see how I was doing and asked me about why I left.

Maybe that says something about me personally and the nature of my friendships, but I’m willing to be that’s the nature of most connections online.

We don’t have as many true friends as it may seem.

It’s definitely the nature of Twitter to say the least. And definitely doesn’t seem to fit your personality as we know you!! 🫂🤜🤛

100%

Maybe they didn’t have the tools to reach out.

Oh they did. I’ve been maintaining a mailing list for quite some time and many are subscribed and have emailed me in the past.

But what if they are waiting on you too? Don’t be grumpy ❤️ maybe they think you will find them annoying if they ask where are you or something

I’m not grumpy. 😆

I’m just exploring this thought like any other.

People mistake me for taking a position when I’m really just taking a Birds Eye view on things and just thinking out loud.

😆 people also misinterpret my tone all the time because I’m on mobile and type the least I can get away with which sometimes sounds rude / communicated the wrong tone or carelessness. In reality I just can’t type out everything I’m thinking.

No problem. I am grumpy myself and I can’t stand *shining happy people holding hands*

So let’s be a grumpy resistance ✊

I'm sure this varies among people's social circles, but I had dozens of random strangers and friends on Twitter reach out to me a year ago after my surgery. I felt true love and friendship from them.

Reach out how? On Twitter?

Yes. They DMed me.

Social media friendships can be valuable because they offer convenience and accessibility. I think it says you truly care for people the same, regardless of being online or in person. They may value social media friendships in another light. A lot of people are focused on networking and building their image…yawn

Precisely.

i'm sorry to hear that. For what its worth you are one of my favourite people here and it won't be the same without you on Nostr!

Haha I’m not saying any of this to gain any sympathy or anything - just reflecting on the nature of online relationships. Appreciate your comment though 💜 🫂

Ain’t that the truth, I have a feeling this time things are different here on nostr 🫂

True about online connection in general.

Twitter is absolute garbage. Mainstream normie bullshit.

I have one who created a account just to check in, although he finds it complicated here, I appreciated the gesture, hope I have the saying proper “True friends come a dime a dozen” 💜

don’t take any of this sociopath media shit too seriously Bro

Hard to say. I wonder if it could be that they felt like you abandoned their tribe?

People are creatures of habit and those who abandon the local circle or platform habit often reconcile it as you abandoned them.

People can be very interesting on how they perceive things. You have many friends here.

Ya could be
