Why is my old friend ignoring me?

Post Reply New Topic

Maybe the above wasn't appropriate but I know of someone else who has Asperger's too and we have not always been on good terms. A few years ago he acted like my friend when I was reading a story of along with requiring me to ask him questions on that story. We ran into each other at a convention where he was a really nice and even came to say hello. After that, he disappeared for 6 months when I ran into him again at another convention where he seemed to shake his head was annoyed that I was around. He also stood right in front of me and looked down at his phone and started texting someone which I get was a form of passive aggression or "Leave me alone."
"You're voice is too grating on my ears whenever we do skype calls. I know that's not your fault."

Other things that he did when he disappeared were

1. I reached out to wish him "Happy Birthday" and he responded with "Whose this?" I told him and I never got a Thank You.
2.I had also sent him a holiday card a few months later and again he didn't acknowledge or say "Thank you."
3. I also never got a "Thank You," for reading his story either.

Your friend sounds a lot like the friend I have

Quit being tear jerky about this stuff.

Simply he moved on with his life and you need to accept things the way they need to be.

Same goes for everyone replying.

Ditch the I have been in Vietnam excuse and as authorative as what possibly may be Rome and the Gestopo, just move on with life.

Just one person.

First of all, that's a tad harsh and I think we have a right to our feelings. Whether we cry or not is none of your bee's wax. Hello, it's called grieving. You can't force someone to move on but rather you have to let them go through it to heal. This is while one gets involved in other things and learns to focus on their own life.

Second, I think you know that we have enough trouble making connections and when someone who appears to care about us at one point and then to have them lose that makes things even worse. On the contrary, there will always be new people.

Third, I am NOT being tear-jerky over the last two posts I made about people who moved on. Rather I was trying to relate.

1. I have not even spoken to the woman who joined the military in a while because it was an unhealthy relationship where we would get mad at each other along with her thinking I was lesser than she was. I have been happy since.

2. I have been detaching myself from the second guy while working to forgive him on some things. I don't really think about him that much. For one thing, he's a fair weathered friend along with being extremely shallow and greedy. He also wanders around looking like a homeless person. "Oh poor me I can't work as a mechanical engineer because my autism won't let me pass an interview." It's pathetic because he knows better than that."
