I know I shouldn’t be worrying about this kind of thing

but I can’t help myself when I don’t hear a ding to a message I sent you days ago. You promised you would respond more often. And you do. If responding every few days instead of every few weeks counts. I sit around and wait. We are supposed to be something, yet you treat it like nothing.

how do i deal with double texting stressing me out so bad that i cry? esp when everyone thinks it's ""cute"" bc "they're just excited" like, i don't want to tell my friend to stop double texting me bc i don't want to be rude, but she once sent me 6 seconds of audio split into 4 separate audio messages. once when she was mad, she sent me TWENTY-TWO separate facebook messages. in a row. the audio ones are esp bad for me bc i have issues with being interrupted, esp when listening to something else.

hey anon, 

listen, sometimes you just have to be rude in order to get it through people’s heads that their behavior isn’t okay. 

here’s an example: one of my pet peeves is when people start messaging me fifty eleven messages without saying ‘hi’ or ‘are you busy, can we talk?’ 

what i’ve taken to doing when people do that is either ignoring them until i have time to read their messages (because often times i am not available no matter what skype tells you) OR if i do have a few minutes to spare i’ll go ‘hi, sorry i’m busy can this wait?’ 

also? i mute people. i turn my status to ‘do not disturb’ in the middle of them messaging me. i log off facebook. 

you do not have to always be available to people, is what i’m saying. 

your friends do not have the right to send you double texting messages if it stresses you out. however, they’re not going to know that it does unless you tell them that? so….communicate that to them. 

it’s as simple as going: hey, i hate to say this but can you please refrain from sending me more than one message in a row? it really stresses me out. 

this is how i’ve gotten ALL my friends to start off their messages to me with a simple ‘hi’. because that way if i respond they know i have time to talk. and if i don’t then they know i don’t have time to talk and they know not to send me more messages and will go and talk with someone else. 

there’s also a difference between me sending someone a message like 

me: hi 

me: okay so are you free to hear this thing cuz it’s wild! 

and me launching into a full story without CONSIDERING that they might not be free, that they might be in the midst of a crisis, or anything else. 

just because people have their phones/other devices “attached to them 24/7” doesn’t mean they are available 24/7! no one should feel obligated to respond to anyone 24/7 unless they have previously agreed to that. 

anyway, that got into me ranting about this ‘concept of rudeness’ if someone doesn’t instantly respond but privacy and space are important to me. you’re allowed to set boundaries and to say ‘no’. 

stay safe, 

kei
