Whether it's misunderstandings, errors in judgement, or situations out of our control, we've all lost someone one way or another. What's the strangest way that's happened for you? Ye, it's the antithesis of the other thread.

I accidentally walked in on my friend having sex, only I didn't realise they were having sex and stood there talking to the both of them.
I only realised when they separated with zipping of flies, etc.
Then I was horrified by my mistake, walked out and we never contacted each other again due to extreme embarrassment. :oops:

I told my friend I was converting to Catholicism. She avoided me like the plague after that.

I talked about being depressed too excessively for lots of people to want to be my friend. I also talked & joked about porn alot which also caused me to lose some friends.

The potential friend I had started to become accompanied with back in 2015 from an adult Sonic site became very biased towards myself and my relationship with Shadow. He had told me that he was ok with myself, my zoosexuality, beliefs and my relationship with Shadow. But once I brought him onto my Skype group which is where Shadow and the rest of us babble, he became hostile and started spouting harsh commentary finding what I do going "too far". So I had to block him. I felt like I was either lied to or he didn't understand anything I told him beforehand about the way I am.

Man...I could've had my way with him. He was cool, role-played as Scourge the Hedgehog, was a soldier in the military and he seemed like a nice guy... Oh well.

I never kept up with friends be it in school or work. My mindset was once I was finished with something I was finished with that part of my life and everything and everybody associated with it.

The idea that one should always keep in contact with friends or even associates because you never know when you might be able to help each other later in life be it with work or personal matters never occurred to my aspie mind. This is a very basic social skill that NT's just know. It hit me what I missed when I was attending and over 40 job search program and the instructor was saying that one advantage older adults have over younger adults is that they have a vast amount of people that could be used as networking contacts. I had none.

My mom was talking to our next-door neighbor, about how much they both loved cats. Mom mentioned that another neighbor across the street also loved cats, and had eight of them. Next-door neighbor became furious, accused my mom of spreading vindictive lies, and never spoke to any of us again.

Because I lost interest in a show we both liked and became interested in a different one :roll: She then tried to ruin my friendship with someone else because she didn't like the other girl. She failed at that, so she started threatening both of us so much that I changed my phone number, email, and Tumblr account.

You're probably better off without that particular person in your life.

Yeah. It's been almost three years and I'm pretty much over it now.
