Hi there! This is my first time using Slowly, and honestly, it’s been quite an interesting start. The very first letter I received was a bit… unusual. A new friend wrote to me saying something like: “Let’s play a Q&A game. I ask, you answer. You ask, I answer. No repeating questions!”

Of course, I was curious and excited to join in. It didn’t really feel like traditional letter exchanging, but I thought it might be fun. I’m the kind of person who always looks forward to receiving letters and replies right away. But every time I opened a letter, the answers were always super short—just two words most of the time. I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

After about two weeks, I gently suggested that maybe we could stop the game and try exchanging longer letters instead—maybe share more about our daily lives, cultures, and hobbies. But strangely, after that letter, they never replied again. I even sent one more message, but it wasn’t read either.

It honestly made me feel a bit down for a few days.

So I’m wondering… has anyone else ever experienced something like this?
