[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 709118, member: 17720"] Oh Echo, that is so tough. I don't know why they do that sort of thing, that acting differently depending on whom they are talking to. Crying for attention or in mortal danger to one person, kool as Kool-Aid to another. And why do they think it won't catch up with them? Not that it matters, but is this his way of showing concern for you, by telling you he was OK? My son once kept me on FB messenger for close to an hour, deep in the depths of hopelessness and woe, while I put my evening on hold to try to lift his spirits. In the middle of angst up to my elbows and my pithiest motherly sayings, he messages, "friend's taking me out for a burrito. Talk later." So why put us through the motions? I just don't understand what they are looking for when they tailor their interactions like that. Are they trying on hats? Being the person they assume we see? Adding drama for the sake of the buzz? Infuriating, regardless. I am so sorry you and the others in his orbit are caught up right now. [/QUOTE]
