“Oh it’s bc I forgot.” I didn’t. It haunted me every day. Every time I saw the red dot on my messages app I stressed out knowing I still couldn’t respond. Then it’s too late. I’m too embarrassed. Rinse and repeat.

I respond, but in my head. They got the most supportive, thoughtful response…. They just don’t know it yet

Idk it’s not normal for people to have such instant access to others. I think this is ok, get back to them when you can. Sometimes I’m not at my phone 🤷♀️

I think there’s so much nuance to this. Like yeah, we should not be expected to be accessible 24/7, but it does get to a point where it’s lowkey disrespectful lol

back in the day, before texting and emails, we had house phones. people would call. if you didn't answer due to mood or being busy it was ok. nobody got mad. life and friendships went on. the instant access to your life is too overwhelming and can be all consuming. I HATE IT.

The comments here clearly show a divide between those who understand mental health and those who lack empathy. While some view texting as an effortless task that "takes two seconds," others experience crippling anxiety, spending hours overthinking before they can even pick up their phone. You don't have to fully understand that experience, but please stop dismissing it as "easy." For a lot of people, it’s an incredible hurdle. If texting is effortless for you, just be grateful you don't have to navigate that mental struggle.
