Goosey's gone AWOL again

Mark

I sent her a message on Sep 12; I hadn't had a reply, so I sent her another message asking her to send me a little message to reassure me that it wasn't that she doesn't like me. She replied to that message and said she'd try and send me a reply to the previous message tonight; this was a week ago.

And now she's become Former member, and I'm still waiting for my reply! Has anyone got any idea what's happened to her?

Is there any point in sending her another message? I don't know if she'll even see it.

Goosey seemed to be happy here. If even she gives up using the forum after less than 6 months, what does that say about the forum?

  • It is indeed sad that Goosey has left NAS and had her account removed, especially as she had seemed very happy here.

    There are all sorts of reasons as to why she left. Unless she returns and wants to talk about why she left, all we can do is respect her decision and hope that she is okay.

    As Goosey's account has been closed and she is no longer a member, sending her another message would be rather pointless.

    Can you tell me what any of them are (by pm if you don't want to do so publicly)? I need Goosey. I need a friend! :-(

    Yes - a common one is feeling smothered or stifled by another member, or set of members on here.

    Sometimes that comes in the form of unpleasantness, rudeness or toxic comments, but it also comes in the form of unwarranted reliance, neediness or burdensome correspondence requirements.

    We all have to tread lightly with each other in here.  Be gentle and understand the other peoples needs, as well as our own.

    Anyway - you asked what sorts of reasons people have for suddenly running away from here - and I think what I have explained about accounts for the majority of those instances.

    I'm sorry that you are struggling at the loss of Gossey from this place.  We are all sad and disappointed too, but we must all respect her need or wish to do so.
