@drcourtneypare: “It takes 2 seconds to reply” Not always. From anxiety to perfectionism, to ADHD, to burn out..replying to messages can be a challenge for many. I find this to be an incredibly frustrating experience for both the person having trouble responding and, of course, the person not receiving the response. There are so many reasons why someone may be taking longer than expected to reply. Identifying what makes it the most difficult for you to respond can help you focus on finding solutions. And, remember that self-compassion goes a long way when working on changing any undesirable behavior! If you’re the one waiting for the responses, compassion and curiosity can also go a long way. While differences in communication style could be a red flag or indicate a mismatch in needs/values and therefore suggest that the friendship is not an aligned fit, getting curious about your friends lack of responses sometimes can help you to take things less personally, be accommodating where possible, and find mutual understanding. Of course, a one sided friendship can only go so far, and it’s understandable to drift apart when there is a significant mismatch is communication style. Have you been on either end of this messaging exchange? How has it affected your relationships? #textanxiety #textinganxiety #socialanxiety #adhdtaskparalysis #friendships #friendanxiety #phoneanxiety #sociallyanxious #introvertsbelike
