Yep romance remorse is the worst. I've done the same irl. That was very complicated and I was not in a good spot, I had a brief window and that's just the way the cookie crumbled. Hugs, it sucks a big one

Had something similar happen. Back when I was drinking a lot a very kind imgurian started messaging me and we talked for a while and she helped dig me out of a depressive episode. I lost the account and lost contact with her and I think a lot about what could have been. Feelsbadman

Wait, was it me? I'm gonna pretend it was me and that I'm loved.

There are no girls on the internet.

Only men and cute bois

Well shit, nobody told me. I guess these boobs aren’t real…

Real or not, they're still good. Don't let others tell you what you can and can't be.

That’s weird, I did birth two humans from my body but maybe I’m just a weird dude with an innie instead of an outie.

It's an old internet joke from the early internet.
That there are no women on the internet, just men in their underwear pretending to be women on the internet.

Same... but I am still a bastard and no amount of soothing will ease my self loathing over it.
I hope they are doing better without me.
Anyways, message them and just say hey.
Mandaftw
Im sure you're not a "bastard". We all make mistakes. And ive tried. They either blocked me on imgur or deleted their account. They never responded to my text. So I dont have anyway.

It is not you they dipped out on. Imgur has had a mass exodus of users since the recent allegations of over-automation and the site becoming basically useless during the strike period.
They may have moved onto BlueSky, back to Tumblr or one of the Reddit clones which is not so tyrannical or hypocritical.
The threads that connect us are quite delicate and other larger forces can sometimes over-ride that attraction, especially when there are no tangible commitments like a shared house etc.
TheJomsborgViking
I may not be a bastard in their eyes, just my own.
I had a similar breakdown from stresses in my life and just said "Im done"
That was all, and we stopped talking. I miss them but I am also too ashamed to tell them.
I have also come to the conclusion that I am unlovable.
I am likeable, and respectable, I am cuddleable and gentle, but not seen as someone anyone will get romantically involved with.
Mandaftw
Well you did better than me. I just disappeared. I fell into a hole and said nothing. If they meant that much to you, you gotta try. If I could tell them everything and how sorry I was, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Feeling unlovable comes from people's actions leading you to feel that way. No one is unlovable. You have just convinced yourself you are.

Ghosting sucks, but maybe look at it this way: if they cut contact they aren't looking for an apology. Everybody's going break some hearts, get theirs broken, mess up friendships, and most times there's nothing we can do. The fact that you have the regret and won't do it again means you learned a lot and deserve to forgive yourself
TheJomsborgViking
I didn't mean to drama dump, was swept up on the moment.
I am sorry if your friend blocked you, but there may be a small chance they just closed the account or even changed their name.
I hope they see this and you get a better ending.
Mandaftw
You didnt drama dump. This is a community. I dont know you but I can relate to your pain and sometimes it helps to vent to a stranger. We can commiserate to each other anytime you want. Dont be sorry. I did it to myself. I sabotage good things because I dont think I deserve them. They probably wont see this. But it was my last ditch effort to reach out
