I get what you're saying.

I can sometimes be a little bit hurt by this kind of thing too. But I don't know, over the years of having this kind of thing happen to me I tend to think of it like this: people are just not so perfect you know?

I mean some people are just bad at replying. I have one friend and I know she's just never going to reply to things I send her so I've stopped sending her long emails, instead I just call her if I want to talk to her or I wait til the next time I see her. She doesn't mean anything by not replying, she's just a little immature and inconsiderate with this kind of thing. She knows it too and so it's no big deal.

Also some people just don't really pick up on the idea that you are reaching out and that this is important to you. They don't mean anything by responding with just a few words and they certainly don't mean to hurt you.

I'm also just going to go ahead and say that some people are just really afraid of intimacy, I know I am sometimes and it's not because I don't want to share intimacy with people. It's just that it can be scary to expose yourself to someone and it's not always safe, some people will react negatively, don't you think? Perhaps you are picking people who are unsafe to open up to.

However it's true that there are also some jerks too. But in that case, who cares? You don't want to know those people anyway if they won't be a good friend to you. It still might hurt when they ignore you or if it seems they don't care, but it's best to try and shrug it off, they're not worth your time.
