To be fair it’s been less than a day, one of the great things about internet messaging is how asynchronous it can be, it’s great for calming anxieties about needing to come up with a reply immediately like if you’re on the phone or something x.x
You’re right though, I don’t reply to things often enough, partly because I’m very sick with COVID at the moment but also a lot of it is my social anxiety and fear of rejection.
I get so scared of what people might say that I avoid looking at the replies, even when I initially reach out because I want to interact with people and form connections ><
It’s one of my big problems that I need to overcome, I’m still working out how to tackle it, but I do know it’s a problem, and it’s mine to solve.
Alas I can’t afford things like therapy, so I just have to stumble around trying to figure my ADHD, possibly autistic (wish I could get seen for a diagnosis…), anxious, dumb ass brain out 😅
I’m sorry in the mean time for being a bit annoying, I don’t mean to be on purpose :-)
I’m not the best guy to ask for sensitive responses, but try to take my blunt and possibly obnoxious response in a positive light.
There are a lot of people saying terrible things on the internet, to the point where only the more aggregious ones stand out. Most things will be ignored or forgotten by most people, whether they were good or bad, but I appreciated this post, and you for putting it out there.
I was trying to make a lewdly suggestive comment about vintage balls leaving them hanging. Apparently it wasn’t done very well, but it did have unintended and appreciated consequences.
Yeah the medium of text can be tricky to convey meaning sometimes, I’m a pretty sarcastic person (gotta love using humour to cope with every situation, so healthy…) with a very deadpan kinda delivery on a lot of it, so I often find myself wondering if my intent came across well over text. Tricky indeed.
Anyway you’re cool, and thanks for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully :-)
Now, I’m going to go back to being drenched in a cold sweat! It seems that’s today’s COVID symptom roulette wheel choice! 💦☉_☉💦
