if i don’t message back, it’s not your fault. you are not bothering me.
if i don’t message back it’s because
a) i didn’t see the message - This one’s pretty common. Notifications aren’t sent, I forget to check stuff, I close the message window before i see the message but after it “arrives”, I’m afk, etc. I’m not a busy person, I just miss a lot of messages.
b) i don’t know what to say - sometimes I just don’t know what to say. sorry.
c) i’m having a hard time processing that you are, in fact, actually messaging me - or i’m crying because excited but also nerves.
IT IS NOT BECAUSE
-you’re bothering me: if you were, i’d say so
-i don’t want to talk to you: i’m not a social person, i’m better at doing the askbox thing than PMs, but if you message me, i’ll message back eventually. unless you’re a porn bot or something.
-i’m ignoring you: i don’t try to ignore people- if i’m online (especially on Skype/Discord) I usually have sounds and notifications off. Skype itself is open in a different browser (download version crashes a lot), and Discord is usually minimized/closed if I have it on at all.
-anything to do with you: i honestly suck at the social/friend thing. just give it time.
feel free to PM me with anything. Questions, hugs, memes, just saying hi, I’ll talk about a lot of things if you want. If I’m not okay talking about/sharing, I’ll tell you.
I know I’m difficult to keep a conversation with. I’m sorry. Just please remember it’s not you.
and please don’t apologize for messaging me or not messaging me. sometimes I take a while to message back, sometimes i miss the message and sometimes you take a while or miss the message. we are human beings. don’t apologize for it.
Or due to anxiety and a lack of mental battery or feeling overwhelmed with other things. It shouldn’t be interpreted as ignoring but I’m sorry if it falls like that.
