How do you respond to strangers' greetings?

Good evening. I received the greeting message from that WeChat friend again.

I wanted to turn a blind eye as before, but I still want a symbolic reply when I see someone greeting me almost every morning and evening!

So, I went over and said hello.

After asking about each other's recent situation, he said: I realized that it has been ten years.

Is it? I don't even remember. From qq to WeChat, I didn't know how we became friends at first, but later we added WeChat.

I only remember one day, I received a strange phone call. I asked who the other person was and he explained it to me. Also asked me: Did you delete him?

The atmosphere was awkward at once, but it was necessary to explain it to him.

I said: I am still very touched to receive your greetings every day. It's just that you always send messages, and it will be rude for me not to reply. Go back, say one sentence and then take the next. Usually busy, except for the necessary communication at work, I hardly chat. In order to avoid my own trouble, I deleted you

I couldn't perceive his mood at that time, but I just told him what I really thought.

He said: I can understand your idea, but you don't have to worry so much. We have known each other for so many years, let's add something! I won't bother you too much in the future. If it's convenient for you, you can say it back if you want, and if it's inconvenient, you don't have to.

At this point, if I disagree, it will appear that I am too unreasonable.

I said reluctantly, well, please forgive me.

So, we became WeChat friends again.

As usual, I often receive his greetings, and I hardly bring them back.

Sometimes when I think about it, I feel quite indifferent.

Some time ago, I read an article saying that in a WeChat group, an old man sends some greetings or his own dynamic information every day, and he insists on sending it every day regardless of whether anyone replies.

Everyone was at a loss and speechless, so they had to set the group information to the don't disturb mode.

One day, I don't know who casually said in the group: What is the old man busy with? He hasn't sent a message in the group yet.

Only then did everyone realize that it had been two days. Could something have happened?

So several people familiar with the old man discussed: let's go to his house together.

Later, there was feedback in the group: it was said that the old man lived alone and no one knew when he died.

The author of the article said: At that moment, I suddenly understood why old people send messages in groups every day. He is so lonely and wants people to know that he is fine.

It is precisely because of this move that when he doesn't send a message, everyone will want to visit his home.

When I saw this article that day, I somehow thought of the WeChat friend who sent me greetings every day.

I seem to have heard him say before: his wife is dead, and now he is human. Do some work if you have a job, and look around if you don't have a job.

He should be too boring. Maybe he wants to be noticed, too.

It happened that I was heartless and didn't seem to care about his feelings, so I seldom replied to his news.

I wonder if I have gone too far. Welcome everyone to leave a message in the comment area and express their views.
