I don't expect to get a lot of responses, but I'd like to get this off my chest
>have no friends irl
>manage to make some on an MMO that I've been playing for a few years
>hang out and fuck around in game, have a lot of good times
>suddenly stop caring about the game and quit playing, completely neglect to say goodbye to these friends
>almost a year later, start playing again on a new account
>reach out to friends in game
>turns out it was really fucked up that I didn't say bye when I stopped playing
>they are unhappy but the friendship is probably salvageable
>become extremely embarrassed and regretful, can't even bring myself to log onto the game for a couple weeks
>start playing again but not really sure how to reach out to them
>at this point they probably forget the name I'm using on my new account and are unable (or unwilling) to contact me
>with each day that passes it becomes more difficult to reach out
>I never contact them again
It's now a few weeks later and I've continued playing, using a new name. I have spent time around and even briefly spoken to one of the friends, but he didn't know that it was me. I think I'm fucked. If I reveal my identity to them again they would think it's really fucked up that I've continued playing under a false name, walking right past them and even talking to them without them knowing that it's me. Plus, I've basically done it again. After I reached out to them that first time several weeks ago, I never spoke to them again and once again didn't say bye.
Basically, I'm a really shitty guy who doesn't know how to maintain friendships, even over a video game, and as a result, I am back to being truly friendless.
