On one side, I’m thinking that if they are having emotional problems maybe they are now overwhelmed by their situation and don’t have the energy to communicate. I tell you because when I’m low I try to stay away from people.

On another side, I think that if it’s supposed that online people feel more daring to be themselves, they, by disappearing, are making you a favour. You know where they are coming from and you won’t be wasting your time with them, anymore.

The key is to know which situation we are treating here.

I assure you that there are people who are so genuine online as off line so I wouldn’t embrace these bad experiences. I would take it into account for the future in order to consider who I can trust as a friend and take more time with them since the conditions are different to the contact you can have with them irl but out of that I wouldn’t do much difference. But, this is my personal view, only. I know there are people who make boundaries and clear separation between both worlds.
