If someone sends you the below email, what would you think? Is this kind of a goodbye? should i contact them?

Question

I’m just going to jump into this, I really want to say this and be done with ever bothering you again. I usually don’t believe in karma but what has happened in the past few weeks makes me wonder a little bit. I now know how you felt every time I contacted you. I am so sorry for being such a pain and burden. What I did was wrong and uncalled for, especially since we were not friends or anything; and you did not owe me anything. And not until someone did the same to me was I able to see how much of an annoyance I was. The fact that you helped me and talked to me just speaks of your character and compassion. Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. A lot has changed for me in the past year that I never expected to change. Best of luck to you. I wish you the best. Good Bye and Take Care!!

Answer 1

you're kidding, right? you dont understand what is spelled out in the first line?

anyone who received this letter and contacts the sender ever again is someone who lacks anything in the way of reading comprehension

Answer 2

Don't respond.  Either you got what you want which is to have this person stop bothering you, or this is an attempt to guilt you into talking to them.  If you respond you open the door again.

Answer 3

Yes, this is called "closure."  You should acknowledge it and tell the person "thank you for the closure. It sounds like you're doing great and I'm glad to hear that.  All the best to you."

Answer 4

Ring them up and ask them. I'm presuming it was a girl who sent you this, but I can't decipher it. It would help to know your situation, but you probably don't want to go spilling that all over the internet. Just ring her up and ask her to reword it! If she's halfway decent she'll understand and help you.

Answer 5

Definitely a goodbye.  Do you want to contact this person?  Because they think you don't.

It sounds like they don't expect a reply from you.  If you want to, you can send them a short goodbye back, or if you really want to stay in contact with them, you can write and tell them so.

Answer 6

my opinion is that if you liked this person or friend you didnt show them.  they thought that you didnt want anything to do with them so they realized they were being a pain and didnt want to bother you anymore. if you care about this person you should talk to them immediately.  hope i was a help :)  

Answer 7

Ambiguous at best, but I think this person is trying to make an apology of sorts. They burdened you with...some stuff...and now, something has happened to make them feel *empathy* for the position they put you in.

It sounds as if they're acutely embarrassed, ashamed, remorseful, and leaving the door wide open for you to decide whether to continue the relationship. Or not. The ball is in your court. Do *you* want to contact them, or not? If you decide to respond, please be kind. If it were me, I'd say something along the lines of, Don't worry about it; it was no trouble at all; pay it forward.

(Unless the relationship was truly burdensome and troubling. And then you could...possibly...let...it...go. But it sounds like they're truly remorseful for being such a pain-in-the-b***... Only you can say if they were or not...)

Answer 8

yep sounds like a goodbye to me , contact them to let them know you appreciate them telling you how they feel .

Answer 9

Well we could use a little back ground. first of all WTF is this about. Did this person like you and you didnt like them back or something? I think you need to reasure them that they werent a pain or a burden.

Answer 10

YEs its a goodbye and leave them too it

Answer 11

Sounds like you wont be hearing from them anymore, contact only if you want to speak to this person.

Answer 12

Yes, i would contact them.  Acknowledge the email at least.

Tell them thankyou for such kind words bid them good luck on 'life's journey' and say the final goodbye.  

Answer 13

Do want u want not us

Answer 14

Yes it does sound like someone is saying bye, but if you don't want it to be bye I would suggest you contact them and talk it out.

Answer 15

This is most definitely a goodbye. I would only contact them if you want  relationship, or to clear up the stuff they said about being an annoyance, if it is not true.

Answer 16

It definitely sounds like a goodbye. It seems like this person is feeling depressed, and I think you should contact that to make sure that they won't be regretting saying goodbye later.

Answer 17

Yes, I would contact them and let that person know they've got the wrong person. So, they could forward the message to whomever their trying to reach.  

Answer 18

Depends on how you feel about the person.  

Most likely, I would just move on and not contact them.

Answer 19

No offence, but obviously it is a goodbye, because, the person said/implied it multiple times, and basically, the whole message is "goodbye".

Answer 20

It's not a "kind of goodbye", it's a "definate goodbye".  If you think its worth it, write back and tell them not to be so hasty.  Tell this person that it's an awesomely brave thing to do to admit that we were wrong, learned from our mistakes, and had the balls to admit it to the person we wronged.  Tell them you'd like to wipe the slate clean and start over as friends. I'd definately write back if I were in your shoes, friends are hard to come by, especially ones with the character that this person has shown.  Much luck :)

Answer 21

that sounds like a goodbye to me.

if you want to contact them you can, they probably want you to.

sounds like there threatining goodbye forever until you will actually say something and go back to them
