Alriiiight. So... I have this "friend" who thinks it's okay to say our "seven years of friendship doesn't matter" on her Facebook, then come message me a day later saying "I miss you so much" on DeviantART. I message her on DA, leaving short messages almost every week or so... but she NEVER replies. I note her, no reply. The last straw... I emailed her about 15 minutes ago and I'll wait for a reply, but if nothing comes in a week, then I've decided to consider her another person on the web I wish I never met.

This is ridiculous. Blaming ME when I can hardly get online as it is, having a mother who is suffering through chemotherapy and the aftermaths of cancer, having real-life crap to deal with, school... I can't be online all the time just for her! If she's mad at me, I'd like for her to talk to me, but I can't tell her that if she won't even bother to listen!

What am I supposed to do now? I'd rather this get settled without any more problems, but if she's not willing to talk to me, should I just not bother anymore?

I'm so lost. :/

Sounds like she's being pretty selfish to me =S. If she wants to talk to you, she should respond to your messages, or else at least respect the reasons why you can't be around as much these days. Unless she has a genuine reason for not responding (like being offline recently or something), then i'd say pay her no mind for the time being, you're going through enough as it is and last thing you need is her acting this way.
After a week and she still doesn't say anything, then just push her aside and focus on the more important things, and if she does decide to say something, I hope she's the one apologising for her behaviour.

I don't really know what else to suggest, but I wouldn't bother putting in any more effort to contact her if she's not going to make an effort herself, it's her own fault in that case. If she does decide to make an effort though, then I hope things can be sorted out soon, you don't need anything more to be worrying about right now.

Y'know, given that she has your cell/home number, there's just no excuse to not call you. >.<

Sounds as though she's kind of taking advantage of you. Give her the silent treatment and when she eventually begins talking, tell her you forgot about her because she was never around and has more important things to do. She won't like it, but to be honest you don't have to take that crap, so make sure you take that opportunity to air your thoughts while you've got her full attention, and if she begins getting on her high horse, call upon the powers of the "Block" button. Truly a "Set it and forget it" experience that button be.

I'm finding this a little over the top as well. I mean, of course online friends are important, but priorities have to lie somewhere. There's many times where someone can't be on the computer, or that they just have other stuff to do. How long was this going on? Maybe this person is just having a bad week and wants to attack someone?
Yaar, it be the pirates' life for me.

I just wouldn't let online friends upset me that much. Yes they are cool to have but if they do stuff like that I'd just let it go and find new ones.

So... I haven't gotten anything yet. Still waiting.

She's been doing this to me for the past two years. Guess what? Since I've started going to college.

Yeah, that's right. She's apparently more important that school. Getting mad at me, telling me that she misses me, when she KNOWS I can't be online all the time.

:/ I'm about ready to give up. I don't need her if she's going to do this.

She has plently other friends who seem to be more important to her than me anyway.

So her little offensive statement on Facebook seems to show how she feels about us and that it really didn't matter to her at all.

And to think I invited her to an anime convention a few years ago.

Ungrateful, that's what she is.

T_T ...it's hard to let go, but if I have to, I will.
She's been nothing but a pain in the butt since I started college.

Ughhhhh...

In that case that you friend feels she's more important then you going to school, and setting yourself up to have a very awesome future...well, I hate to say it, but she's a burden to you then. If she just feels the need to be piss angry at you for no reason other then to show how self centered she is and all she wants is your undivided attention...well yeah I wouldn't give it to her anymore. You have a bright future ahead of you and people who behave like your "friend" need to be let go as they'll find some way to keep you anchored to the ground.

This of course is my opinion on the matter and just how I feel. If she is becoming a burden to you, and its so big, then its time to just let her go. Even if you have to explain it to her.

Yeah. It's over. I've given up. If nothing comes this Friday, our friendship is officially over.

I'm not putting up with her crap anymore.

Right. Can't believe I fell for this crap.

It's a shame to see it end like that, but if that's how she's gonna be, then I don't see the point in attempting to appeal to her any more, she's not worth the effort. If she does decide to make an effort to contact you at some point in the future though, I do hope you can smooth things off a little, at least get to the bottom of her selfishness if anything.

Otherwise, oh well, you've got better and more important things to prioritise than her, and there's no reason to let yourself be dragged down by her.
