I’m not fine by the way

Why is it that almost everyone I chat to on-line these days doesn’t seem even the slightest bit interested in how I am feeling? It gets to the point where I sit there waiting for just a general, “how are you?” or “how’s life?” but nothing appears. I mean this is after an hour or more of chatting…when conversations are coming to a close.

I’ve listened to their woes and tried to help them through their problems, which I don’t mind, as I am a good listener and resolver, so I have been told. But how can so many people be so self-centered to not even think of asking how someone else is? Do they do that with everyone they know or just me? Have I become the doormat for their muddy souls (deliberate)?

Maybe I just need to change the people I hang about with online or perhaps reassess how I deal with people. Perhaps next time I wont ask them how they are and the conversation will just be an empty chat window. Going nowhere. Like “friendships” often do in the end.
