I have one or two people on my friends list (on Steam, specifically) whom I've never even spoken to. I have three, I think, I speak to once in a blue moon (MOnk is one of these).
It's not like Steam is Facebook or some other platform in which you keep personal information and photos (and even there, people don't have a clue how to keep their information safe...).
It's a silly thing to get upset over.
Personally, as much as I used to love talking to folks on IMs as a teenager and even in my earlier twenties, I just hate it now. If someone doesn't bother to strike up a conversation with me I'm definitely not going to wet myself over it and, certainly, I hope that they are as understanding when I don't feel like talking to them.
It's nothing personal, it's just the way things are.
What I'm trying to get across to you is to just relax and stop taking life, people and everything so seriously.
Not everyone is a verbatim copy of another person, not everyone likes being pestered every five seconds and not everybody either wants to or is able to respond immediately.
With Steam, especially, I find it interesting to see what achievements other folks have, but I really, really don't want to be bugged on it; especially when I'm playing a game. So yes, there are times when I will flat-out ignore someone. Not to be rude but because I'm having "me time" now and I'll respond to them when I can. Unless it's urgent... which is pretty fucking unlikely.
So... yeah. Protip: relax and remember that not everyone thinks/feels the same way you do about... well... anything, really. And stop allowing your own personal insecurities to jade your perceptions of other people. Often those perceptions just aren't true.
