I have so many texts and emails a day both personal and work that it is not possible to keep up. I know it comes across rude if they don’t respond to you but there is a lot going on in people’s lives, especially now. If people have a long list of family or whoever to talk to daily plus work related calls etc they might not have the time.
Also if you never met these people, it’s kind of hard to maintain friendship. It’s hard work and people have to prioritize

I get that entirely. When I am very busy with life, I find it harder to keep up. I do understand life taking over sometimes or even all the time.
What I don't understand is ghosting a long time "friend". I think the nature of the online relationship lends to it being Ok to ghost, no matter how long the friendship has gone on, and no matter how deep it became.
I have a hard time comprehending that.
And people ghost a lot in online dating too. I just think it's very cruel.
