this page is a permalink to the following question:

after a brief exchange over messenger, i shot them a message a few days later, and they have since left me on read. this was ten days ago. we've only really talked about music so far. what now?

(assuming this is continuation of 2024-12-09 23:56)

not all friendships are meant to be. it's okay. if you want, you can send one more message, but be sure not to spam them. it's easy to make that mistake without realizing.

in general i'm very scared of other people/relationships. i've had some bad things happen to me in the past, and the result of that is a repulsion to having very close relationships. instead, i just collect as many friends as possible. i've learned that not everyone will be a close friend, and that it's okay if things drift away.

now i'm randomly reminded of some time when i was in high school i had a digital arts class (photoshop/etc), where i talked to the girl next to me nearly every day. i got her phone contact, sent a couple messages, and then never contacted again. last year while i still had instagram, i saw a photo posted by her. she's doing great.

sorry for rambling. the point is that things not working out is okay. maybe the next one will go better.
