i’m not bad at texting i’m just in a dramatic era where i only communicate through dreams and cryptic signs

[adoreyouusugar]

I feel like such a shit person but I’m really bad at communicating, ESPECIALLY TEXTING maybe it’s due to me being over talked a lot so I just don’t share anything really unless asked, but idk I feel like I’ve gotta talk to someone about that. This can’t be normal, I’ve not texted people back for weeks and I feel bad about it but I feel like if I text back so late that they will be angry with me. Anywho is there a word for this? Maybe 🤔

It is the phenomenon sometimes called ‘alienation from self.’ In its advanced stages, we no longer answer the telephone, because someone might want something; that we could say no without drowning in self-reproach is an idea alien to this game. Every encounter demands too much, tears the nerves, drains the will, and the specter of something as small as an unanswered letter arouses such disproportionate guilt that answering it becomes out of the question. To assign unanswered letters their proper weight, to free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect. Without it, one eventually discovers the final turn of the screw: one runs away to find oneself, and finds no one at home.

How am I supposed to maintain a relationship if I’m an introvert, don’t like to text first, hate calling, a bad Texter and find it a way more easier to be myself in real? People will get bored...fucking quarantine.
