OK. If it was me - or is me - you felt/feel neglected by, and this goes pretty much for now or ever, I would want you to call me on it, because it would either be unintentional or crossed wires and either way I would want to sort it. *hugs* And the thought of accidentally hurting your feelings is making me feel rather sick, so yes, seriously, please tell me if I ever do.
Other people are trickier and I'm not really qualified to offer advice, because it's something I've always tended to react to really badly myself. I guess the healthy thing to do would be to talk to the person about it, but that's definitely easier said than done, I know. Speaking personally, I tend to react by getting increasingly jealous and irritated, until my sheer cattiness and/or silence tends to clue the person in that something is wrong with me. I don't recommend that, though; it's one of my really unpleasant personality traits that I'm conscious of and working to improve. And I am getting better. But yeah. Unfortunately, it's not really

*huggles* No, no, you didn't worry me as such - just the idea, you know? I get paranoid about that kind of thing, hahahah. All is well, in that case. :D *glomps*
Ooh, an LJ friend, that is a bit awkward. :S I guess you could try sending them an email, just mentioning that you haven't heard from them in a while? Then even if they're just not reading their flist much, they should get it unless they're staying offline completely. But yeah, you're right - definitely tricky. Lots of luck, my dear, however you decide to approach the issue.
Hahahah, I'm right there with you. *huggles* Confrontation just isn't fun at all, is it? Let us avoid it like the very plague!
Speaking of KitKat Chunkies! Well, sort of, anyway. ;) I am in the process of wrapping things for your birthday present... is there anything in particular that you fancy that I could add to it? :D
Lol, I know what you mean -- paranoia feels like a permanent roommate some days. :P *hugs*
And thanks. :) I don't think there is actually anything I can do. Lol, I feel kind of silly, really. *blushes* 'cause we do sort of talk, when I comment on her entries. I just feel a little neglected when she hardly ever (or so it seems) comments on mine. That's not horribly petty, is it? :(
Agreed! *grin* Although, lol, I'm afraid sometimes I do itch for a bit of an argument. I'm a contrary sod sometimes. *sheepish grin*
Awww, wow. *is so excited* Lol, the KitKat Chunky mention sort of distracted me, but I can't think of anything I'd like in particular, thanks. :) Eee, I can't wait for my birthday, lol.
No, it's not horribly petty at all! *hugs* When friendships start feeling out of kilter, whatever form it takes, it's just never a good thing. Sorry that it's happening, my dear. *huggles*
Hahahahhaha, fair enough, in that case! :D I have to finish wrapping things up and send it off at the end of this week. *MENTAL NOTE* Soon you too will be old like me, hahahahhaha! ;P
