[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 613579"] Yes Janet, I see it this way too. To be compared to someone another holds deeply in their heart, who was very intelligent, etc. in my case (although this isn't the main point), my mom and cousin were like super smart and popular. Of course, I think of this as a big honor and I too get a kick out of it if someone thinks of me as the big sister they never had. Well, I realize, that this isn't really my fault. It is clearly something on her end. Afraid to speak up, very upset about her recent birthday/age, issues with her husband....who knows????? I always like to be a good friend and I'm not perfect and if I mess up, I'm going to apologize. Even if I don't truly understand what happened...like this case. But, for her to get even more ticked when I apologized super nicely....was even more weird. That part seemed like possible embarrassment. The entire ordeal through me for a loop. Of course, I'm letting it go...but I certainly don't feel as close to her, nor her to me since I did this "terrible thing."???? WTH! But, I am looking for the lesson (s) and one is to be more careful before speaking (although after knowing someone for four or five years, you would think you could relax a bit) and the other is that cyber friends are a bit different, as the relationship is partial and limited...you are missing out seeing the full picture. MANY are authentic, many are just different because of the nature of being on-line. OR something big may have changed in their lives, and you wont be privy to it at all. Thank you for your input...just so nice to get it off my chest. :) [/QUOTE]
