I'm being ignored

Hello there, I'm a very introverted person, actually I just have 4 friends. A days ago, a classmate of mine tried to befriend me, we chatted in whatsapp mostly about videogames like pokemon... However, he hasn't talked to me since that day (two days ago, if I recall correctly). I don't know why, he seemed to like it, and he also said he would help me with my shyness. I haven't sent him anything neither though, and I won't, because I don't want him to think I'm pesky or something worse. Besides, he's often online, it looks like he's forgotten me. Why does he do so, and what should I do?

I don't know your age, and I know that, when you are younger, having a vast network of friends is incredibly important. It was to me, at least. But four friends is nothing to scoff at, especially if they are four people you can count on and talk to and go out with. I had a pastor/counselor back in the day who said that, really, as we get older we can fully maintain only five whom we know we can count on, call up at 3am to help us in an emergency, cry on their shoulders, etc. I mean, I think I may have one or two who are like that, but he was saying five max. Point is that four friends isn't so bad

I don't think that, after two or three days of not talking to this person, it would be a bad thing to send a hello message. It would be different if you had been messaging him the last three days and he'd been ignoring you, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe he just got distracted, or maybe he thought you didn't want to talk, either. So why not send a hello? After that, if he doesn't reply, I would let it be. That's just the way it goes, sometimes, and it really isn't personal.

I am more introverted as well, and I understand how you feel. You may have to be more comfortable with your own company, and not having as many people around you. That's really okay. It's more about quality over quantity when it comes to friends for us, anyway.

Well, those 4 friends of mine are just acquaintances, we never meet.

I'm not sure if I want to send him something... what if he ignores it? i wouldn't Anyway I have no idea what to say! I don't want to look desperate, but I don't want to look tiresome neither. To be honest it's the first time I chat with someone about something that's not related to school

4 friends is a good number in my opinion

Send a funny picture, maybe a Pokemon joke or something.... That way its up to him to start the convo

Send him a neutral message. Something like just asking how he's doing today. He'll answer if he wants to. Which, hopefully he will

Suppose that you send him a neutral but friendly message and he does not respond. What would you take that to say about you?
