    Ok so some time ago i met this girl online and we hit it off she introduced me to her friends who i also hit it off with.
    girl turned into a right bitch, something that shook me up quite a bit because i was crushing on her really badly. Now those friends i mentioned well i stayed friends with them up until recently but i began to notice that they only seemed to have time to speak with me or wanted to open an conversation with me when she was being nasty to them i.e. did exactly the same to them as she did to me. ( i don't want to get into the details about her because thats a monster of an issue i cant deal with )
    a couple of months ago i realized that she was getting more and more friendly with someone I spent most of the summer speaking with almost every day and that he just wasnt interested talking to me at all or even replying to me my instant messenger pokes.

    I bit the bullet and cut all ties with them i even deleted my facebook profile around september some friendships just dont last but today around two weeks after i made a new facebook profile added the only person who knew these people and stayed in contact with me. then a few hours ago i got a strange phone call from a number in the UK (that didnt say anything and lasted 11 seconds ) and the only person in the uk that has my number is one of these ex friends.

    This really unnerved me especially considering the person i think called me is now in a relationship with the girl i had the crush on.

    Am i overreacting ? Should i be this unsettled by what could just be a random phone call ? was i being overly sensitive back in september? what would you guys do in my position?

    sorry for the long post but im totally confused :S
    I am a bit of a loner and very shy so i took online friendships as serious as the few real life friendships i do have.

    Overreacting? - yes!

    Should you be unsettled? - No!

    Overly sensitive last September? - I don't know, but probably yes!

    What would I do in your position? - make some real-life friends and limit my FB time!

    I'm not trying to be smart with my answers. FB is a very poor substitute for real-life experiences. You cannot read subtle nuances from people through FB, so your social skills do not develop by pursuing this sort of interaction alone.

    Join some clubs, meet some people, work on overcoming your shyness. You'll be happier in the longer term.

    Be at peace,

    Z
