Isn't it strange how you can miss people you have never met?

I hadn't been on MyLot for a long time but I often wondered how owlwings and wolfie were doing. Now I'm back I can catch up with them again. I missed them. There was also jabo, who I met on Bubblews, when that ended I thought I would lose touch with her. I always loved her discussions. I was so happy when I saw her on here. I've never met any of these people in person, but feel I know them a little at least. These aren't the only ones I missed but I can't name everyone. Have you ever missed someone you've never met?

Yes, because this IS meeting, even if not face to face. We get to know each other well through our different posts. And some people are much more personal about feelings, etc., in the things they talk about here.

@cinnamongrl I think you might be right saying that we sometimes share things with our online friends that we don't share with our face to face friends. Sometimes it's easier to talk when you don't have to face people.

Yes, I was upset when Bubblews closed and so relieved to find people here.

Yes, I do. I did make some friends online and we do not meet each other personally. Even for some online friends, though we are not very closed to each other, we visit each other's discussions always, and we are kind of "spending time together" always, I will also miss them when I don't come to mylot.

Yes I do miss some gather members and some mylot members who are no longer active. Did you just find out they were paying again is that how you decided to come back?

I never really did it for the money. I was just checking which websites I was on, MyLot was amongst them. Then I saw the three people I mentioned on here and decided to come back.

Oh yes, and I get worried if people drop out of sight and we don't know what happened to them. Thank you for the mention, and I missed you too.

I always miss my online friends when they are not around. A lot of my online friends are closer to me then people I know in person. I am starting to get to know people on this site before and I do notice when people are absent for a few days. Even though I have never met any of my online friends in person, they are very dear to me.

I know exactly what you mean. There was over a year in between my stints and writing sites and yes, there were people that I wondered about and missed.
