Hi Tina. It's nice to see your name again.

I've been guilty of not responding to overtures. And I've had the experience of making overtures that aren't responded to. Over time, most of my closest friends tend to move and move on, and keep in touch now and again.

I doubt it has anything to do with you or how good a friend you are. Life just seems to be like that. People get overwhelmed by life and don't respond to emails, then they might feel guilty about that and afraid to reestablish contact. Or they just might move in different directions. It's hard to maintain long term relationships without a mutual commitment to keep rowing in the same direction.

And today's life especially, I think. Isolation and loneliness are epidemic.

But that's theoretical. And the nice thing about Babble is that even if specific people come and go, Babble has (for ten years) been here to come home to.

I'm sorry you're feeling lonely. How have you been doing otherwise? It's been a while since I caught up with your life.
