I don’t worry. I assume they’ve got better things to do than talking to me. I’m not good at keeping contact really so I can’t complain if they don’t either  |

There and to the left a bit |
Think it depends on the previously regularity of contact - if it was someone I usually spoke to daily and didn't hear from for a few days I'd maybe be concerned, if it were someone I swapped a couple of messages with every now and then, then not so much |

If I knew they were sad, going through a difficult time or upset about something then yes i’d Worry. I chat to very few forumites, and even fewer off here, so i’d Have no way of checking in with them elsewhere.
But otherwise, i’d assume they were just having a break or hopefully had met someone special and maybe moved on.

"Do you worry if your friends here drop unusually out of contact?
I'm an old softie sometimes, I know. "
Can you contact them outside of the site?
I think it's nice that you care about them. |

I've been known to worry yes. Especially if I'm aware someone has been going through a tough time. I just want to let them know they're cared for and it can be a bit ouchie if they just disappear without saying goodbye

"We're not close with anyone on the forum so no, I don't worry.
There are one or two whose occasional absence I notice though

They have. My friends know how to get in touch with me if they need me. When I feel it has been too long I usually break the ice again. I hadn’t seen a couple of local close friends for over a year until a week ago. I felt it had been too long so I messaged them and we all went out for a curry. It was like we were only together the day before except for the need to catch up on what had been happening. We are all busy with our own stuff: work, families etc.... That kind of friendship seems to be independent of chronological time. A kind of kairatic order seems to determine how it functions...a sense of timelessness about it. |

It depends on what sort of friends you are and how close. If it’s a good friend, someone I chat to on a daily basis and they just disappeared then yes, I would be a little concerned. I like to think that the type of relationship I have with my friends would mean that they would say if they were going quiet for a while - not in a ‘reporting in’ kind of way but just because friends usually say. |

I'm never gone long enough for anyone to notice or worry.
I don't worry as such but I often notice people who haven't posted for a while. The only times iv been concerned is when someone has posted something that suggests they are not OK then gone UNLOS but there isn't anything I can do. |
