Anybody sometimes ignore texts because it’s too hard to respond?

All the time but mostly because I tend to write too long posts or messages that people dont want to read, I feel like such a girl..

I rarely get texts. Usually I'm enthusiastic to respond. But there are a few people I take a while to get back to if it all.

I would, perhaps, but no one messages me first, except my mother who is currently my only interlocutor.

Same but I love long texts though!

I really hate that I am so bad at maintaining contact with people. It's caused almost all my relationships to eventually die out. Even on here - I have been talking to lovely people and am just shit at being more outgoing and talkative. I don't really get actual texts on my phone though.

Texts on my phone I rarely get since I'm almost completely socially isolated in person. I just hear from my dad every few weeks and that's it. I've had a few people message me on here and I try to reply as much as I can, but it's really difficult to do so. If I ever stop replying to you, it's not because I'm ignoring you, it's generally because I'm feeling too drained and exhausted.

Exactly. They said I was hurting everyone with my problems right now ....so I just decided to stop talking anymore. Now they can't hurt me and I can't hurt them.

Friendships are exhausting. I gave up on this early in life.

I think back to how many people I've lost because of this. Friends contact me and i'm too sick/ depressed to respond and too exhausted to explain why (not like they'd understand-just think I'm crazy, weird, antisocial). They inevitably get fed up and pissed off at me. Talk negatively to others about me to convince them I'm rude, not a good friend etc. People stop attempting to contact me.

Yes, maintaining friendships is exhausting and in a way I'm relieved that these people are angry with me because it makes it easier to be alone because I don't desire their conditional friendship anyway.

Reminds me the ending of "The Stranger" by Camus : He's about to be executed and he's happy to get the fuck out of this world.

i have 0 messages from anyone

That's the saddest thing ever I'm in the same boat.
I'm one of the few that refuses to have a telephone.

Meaning everyone hates him - even people who know nothing of his life/ have never met him - so he's happy to be executed. It makes it easier for him to die.

when it happens that i have a chat with someone online i usually try to reply as fast as i can, and get anxious when they make me wait.
otherwise (email, irl people, ecc.), when the answer isn't a straight yes or no, i definitely take my time.
