Ever missed someone it hurts?

Ever been so close to somebody- but your friendship generally is on/off, but when something important happens or a thought crosses your mind that you’d love to share with them.. How do you navigate this?

How do you let them know that they’re more important to you than they believe themselves?

Had someone on a forum that I was super close to. Before I got banned by the corrupt admins and moderators. We are thinking of moving to another forum with good moderators and admins. (Forum was by VerticalScope)

Welcome to what is part of the definition of being human.

And all too often, by the time you realize how important they are to you, they are no longer Here to tell.

They for certain know how I feel.

Sometimes it’s just the fact that they don’t necessarily believe me due to their own internal struggles. I just wish I could portray it more.

Yes, I have. But that person is bad for me. So maybe it's a blessing in disguise

On/off doesn't sound much like a good friendship. It sounds like one of you doesn't want to be friends. Those types of friendships don't often last very long. You can be strong on your end and be willing to keep a friendship steady, but the other person has to meet you halfway. If they're not willing to meet you halfway, then there's nothing more you can do about it. What I can say is that perhaps it's best to focus on the friendships you already have that are not on/off.

How do you navigate this?

I would say move on. Hang out and talk to people who want something to do with you.

This is ultimately something you have to let them decide for themselves. Knowing and valuing someone's feelings are two completely different things. You cannot make them value what you feel about them.

Best thing you can do is move forward. We all are hurt by someone at some point, best possible thing is to move past that hurt. You want to share something but they aren't there, it's something to save up if they're there in the future, but ultimately if they aren't there for you they aren't being a good friend.

As for myself, I've missed people to the point of being hurt. I've also caused hurt and I hate both feelings.

Maybe sometimes they feel it strongly but then something happens that seems to contradict it, and it becomes extremely confusing. I have a hard time understanding people and relationships, and have want so much to believe in a relationship and then get completely mixed up believing I have overstepped. Then it's really embarrassing to try to figure out where things are especially when you want it going one way but all the signs are pointing the other way.
Ok, none of that scree makes any sense.
