i just saw some screenshots of a thread about how to deal with neurodivergent/mentally ill people who don’t text frequently, and i can’t find it outside of instagram but I Want To Talk About It
people who have ever tried to message me more than like, two times will know that sometimes i won’t reply back for a little while, and very rarely not at all. i really want to stress that 99% of the time i’m just really anxious and i have to take a while to formulate my thoughts
before responding. sometimes that means i will forget to respond. that does NOT mean i don’t like speaking with you - on the contrary, the people that often have to deal with this from me are the very people i WANT to talk to, but anxiety is a bitch!!!
however, if i’ve done this to you, and you Repeatedly send me messages because you expect an answer from me right away (i mean like, REALLY frequently), know that it won’t make me answer you any faster. actually, it will make it very difficult for me not to be intimidated by you
i’m not making this thread to discourage anyone from speaking with me ahdkdhkd THAT’S THE LAST THING I WANT?? i just want to inform you that this is likely the case if you’ve ever spoken with me.
i also want to note that i am extremely bad at starting conversations but i’m getting better at it ashkhdkdj. if you find yourself starting conversations more than i do, that also doesn’t mean i don’t like you. it’s Very likely that i appreciate you a lot as a friend and that +
it makes me very happy to hear from you. if i wasn’t so scared of starting conversations i would honestly be very annoying and message people constantly AGEKDGKSG PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS IS HOW I ACTUALLY FEEL
i am trying to get better at these things tho so please don’t feel like you have to always accommodate for my shortcomings. just saying “hey, i know it’s hard for you but i would love to hear from you once in a while” is the best thing i could from you +
and it shows me that you want to hear from me! it will make me work harder to keep things up with you. anyway that’s my little take subscribe and smash that like button
