Thinking about the folks that used to be on here back a couple of years ago. I made some great online friends and enjoy them so much. Most of them anyway. One in particular I really thought was a good friend. She had been a counselor and was very intelligent. I enjoyed chatting back and forth with her. But, get a load of this- In the winter time I get pretty depressed and I don't write a lot nor am I very friendly. I will answer an email from a friend but it may not be a real exciting read or very long. So, this happened a couple of times last winter. And this gal was so rude and mean to me I still can't believe it. She would write back and tell me I had to write more interesting emails or she couldn't keep the communication going. I responded telling her what I said at the beginning of this. When I am depressed I don't write much. So she writes back to me that she is just not going to write to me anymore then. WOW! Here she supposedly has a college education in psychology and yet she is treating me like this? I am still shocked and hurt by it. I thought she was a friend. I expressed this to a mutual friend and she told me I was not the only one she treated like this. Well, guess what? I am not hurrying to tell her Mylot is paying again. Your thoughts.

i thought diplomacy was in at all times right from the stone age. Here is an exception and I do not suppose you want to be in her life again

No. I have learned how she is in a pinch and I don't need that type in my life. I don't care for fair weather friends.

I had a friend from here that I thought of as family. As I faced some hardships around the time of my son's birth, she decided I wasn't a good person and tried to turn several other friends against me. The thing is, some other myLot friends stepped up and stood up for me. So I am thankful I had them. She is still a member but hasn't been on in a while so maybe it will work out that she doesn't find out that we are getting paid again.
People aren't always what they seem and aren't always worth the effort.
I hope the person who hurt you and couldn't understand that we face things that are hard to deal with, finds herself facing that situation from your side of it. Maybe it will teach her to be more compassionate.

I am certainly sorry you have also had this experience. I guess extreme situations teach us who our real friends are. I don't think we need either one of these two on here.

I am sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. I would also get shocked and hurt if it happened to me. A true friend doesn't behave like that, and your friend's background makes it even harder to understand her behaviour.

So true. I don't get it. Guess I learned a lesson. You just don't always know about people and especially those online.

Hi celticeagle, sorry to hear about your rude friend..however, dont let that bother you, here we are again and there are plenty of people here who would share and be friendly...I have mostly good experiences here with my friends and a couple of unpleasant ones which I have firmly put out of my mind.Right now it is great to be here and happy that mylot is paying again although not like before from what I see...

Yes, all new. I have usually good experiences too. That is another reason her rudeness hurt like it did. No reason for it either.

Sorry you had to go through this with that person. Words can be hurtful and with online friends it's all so much about the words. You never know a person's true colors sometimes - and we are better off without these kinds of people when they show it. It's possible this person will find out about myLot through the grapevine anyway - but remember there are other friends here who ARE your friends. And there is that block button just in case!

Me too. I feel that over time and experience you can learn of a person's true colors. I sure did in this case. I always try to have faith in people until they prove me wrong. I am sure she will find out about the site but it won't come from me. Thanks for your last sentence. That is always good to know.

I feel really sorry for you. That was really very mean of your friend to behave this way with you. In fact being a psychology student in college she rather should have understood your situation and should have been more considerate towards you. But this is life ... not everyone can love us, understand us or comfort us.
It is sad to know how people change, but then it is good you know who is your friend and who is not. Just cheer up, you will find many good friends here who will understand you and stand by your side in times of need.

Exactly. That is why I was so shocked by her. And people tell me this is not the only time she has done something like this. And she was a professional and could have handled it so much better. Yes, I do know who is my friend and she has chosen to show herself not to be one.
