They literally just forgot
Their phone battery is low
Their social battery is low
They're at church/temple/coven/whatever other place of worship
They're having a low-spoons day
They're expecting an important call and need to keep the line clear
They just had The Worst Day Ever (tm) at work or school and literally can't even right now
Their phone fell in the toilet, and now they have to put it in rice and wait for the magical elves to come and fix it
They're having a conversation with someone else about something really important (a family emergency, an emergency at work, a friend going through a breakup, something like that)
They're at the movies, a concert, a lecture, or something like that
They're on a prepaid phone and haven't been able to buy more minutes
They've got something coming up in the next 24 hours that's going to cost a lot of spoons (even if that same task wouldn't cost you as many), and they need to conserve as many as possible so as not to go into "spoonie overdraft" when they have to actually do that task
Their executive dysfunction is acting up today
Their phone is broken, or the battery is dead
They're traveling internationally, and don't want to rack up roaming charges
They're grounded and/or lost phone privileges
They're dealing with their own problems, or with someone else's crisis
They left their phone at the gym, the office, school, on the bus, at home, or wherever else
The point is, literally none of this has to do with you, or with them not caring about you, or with them secretly hating you, or with them doing something they shouldn't be doing.
