if you inboxed me and I never responded…

i know this is for folks with social anxiety (etc) and i have my own anxiety but usually it doesn’t manifest in this way

but you know what

sometimes…

i AM ignoring your text/dm

because boundaries are important. and me not wanting to engage in a conversation now, or ever, is not a sign i care about you less.

it means i don’t want to engage in that conversation

the internet is wonderful and glorious and i can record a podcast with my best friend who lives 12 time zones away on the literal other side of the globe and we can chat when one of us wakes up and the other is about to go to sleep and i LOVE how accessible you can be with 8 chat apps at your fingertips.

but it’s not how we evolved, and it’s okay to not want to talk. that’s enough of a reason.
