Seriously.

Before really getting into the fandom ~5 years ago I could count on one hand the number of times I had been ghosted or otherwise actively ignored by a close friend, online or in real life.

With other furs, though, I constantly get ghosted, randomly blocked, or otherwise ignored.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why.

I try my best to be nice to everyone. I give people a safe space to vent when they need it and a friend to talk to and chill with when they don't.

Still, the majority of my furry best friends over the years have eventually just randomly fallen out with me and gone silent.

I have AuDHD and I really struggle with social skills and context clues, so when I get ghosted it creates a huge lack of closure and makes me dwell on things, wondering what I did wrong and why they won't tell me. I get that they're "not real friends" or "not worth my time" and that whole rhyme and dance. I don't really care. It still hurts like hell.
