Today I discovered that my best friends have pavloved me into entering the groupchat
As many INFPs might relate, I am someone who forgets to reply and lets messages pile up, so seeing 300+ notifications is normal to me. My besties are used to this, they both don't even notice it at this point (yay for friendship)
But for the past week or so, we have all been very busy (life, jobs, school and stuff) and I began to notice a significantly decrease of groupchat activity. Which felt weird.
And today there were no messages. For over 15 hours there was complete radio silence. So me, a good friend, started typing to check in on them. They replied, we talked, we shat on people, same old same old.
Until one of my besties asked "Hey so why did you write? Did you need smth?" And I was like "Nah just wanted to check on you. Make sure you were alive and stuff. It feels weird not to see 200+ notifs in my phone you know lmao."
And that's where it hit me! I had been texting way more these past couple of days and even being the first one to write more often than not. These hoes had somehow managed to train me to find the lessened notifications a stimulus for me to become more active in the groupchat!
The worst part? They had absolutely no idea that they were doing this, they just did it!!
Am I so easy to manipulate!?
