Well, there are lots of reasons for flunking an online meeting. I personally often forget about them. Doesn't matter that I only talk to my real friends too who're most important to me. Just how I forget about... everything. I wanted to be offline, reading right now actually... Doesn't have AD(H)D that friend of yours, does he? If he constantly says he'll do things but doesn't do them. Either that or he's a busy person. Or he might not be taking what he says particularly seriously/serious enough.

God... that sort of stuff pisses me off too. Another thing I can't stand is when people make plans which include you, and then fail to mention when they've canceled them. It's even worse if you didn't really want to do whatever it was to begin with, and you go out of your way to get ready and all that, and then you're waiting around forever and then find out after hours have passed that you could have been doing what you normally do instead.

When too many people tell you things and don't do it, you stop trusting them. I have even stopped trusting people in real life so that's why I hardly take anyone serious and have trust issues. Now I know not to trust my own online friends. I was 16 when I stopped listening to people. I just think "yeah right."

You trust people? :lmao:

People need incentive to do things.

Its possible the story you were expecting did get sent, but that it got 'eaten' somehow. That happened to me a couple of times when I tried to send something online and when I asked the person about it, they said that it never arrived. I don't know why it happened, even though I thought I did everything correctly. So I usually have to do it over again.

If I put a lot of stock into "online friends", I would get disappointed too.

As a general rule, if I've never met them in real life, they aren't my "friend". Less disappointment that way.
