Discussion Orange Status Debacle
Orange status exists for a reason. (Irl Example) If I'm hanging out with friends irl and someone texts me to hangout I too will either not respond or say that I'm busy, this outing does not involve you. We make a lot of friends on the internet and we just believe at face value that this person that has given us a persona will be our ride or die just because we both like Binding of Isaac or something. I don't like to think of myself as a pessimist but more of a realist. People that I've known online for many years I never consider that they will be with me forever or take a virtual bullet for me, I don't know them. Not everyone wants to open their doors all the time. Some may have a tightknit friend group that is their separate circle away from everything else. Without going on for too long this argument always boils down to "You don't like the thing that your friend is doing (orange status)" and usually when I have a friend that does something that I don't like repeatedly, I stop being friends with them. I know it hurts to be left out but come on. We give people their space. It's selfish to complain about how someone else spends their time. And using a knife that says "Change your status behavior or I unfriend you" is very aggressive and is no grounds to have a friendship by. Surround yourself around people that fit your description of what you think a friend is don't try to change others. (This message is no way meant to harass anyone or start fights.
