Disappearing Acts

Have you ever been contacted by someone from your past who disappeared shortly thereafter? It’s happened to me a couple of times in the past few years.

I get an e-mail from a long lost friend, a dialog begins, then nothing. Just one day they don’t return my e-mail. Weeks turn into months and I begin to wonder if I just imagined it to begin with.

It’s bizarre. Kinda rude too. I mean, YOU contacted ME. Now you’re blowing me off? WTF?

My friend says I expect too much from people. I guess I do. I expect if you contact me after years of not talking that you won’t disappear without explanation. But what do I know? Maybe it’s an ego thing.

  1. I know exactly what you mean. I’ve been very sentimental lately and sad about being out of touch with some. I just heard from a college roommate. She said she was typing while holding her new (3rd) baby girl. What? I never even knew she was pregnant and that makes me really sad. So, I hear you and I don’t think it’s an ego thing at all.

  2. How about this person from your past? :)
    I only have an old email address for you now after a PC ‘event’, and it doesnt seem to be one you check anymore :(

    We didnt make it to Chicago this year, but did manange Florida so getting closer……
