honestly i feel very conflicted whenever i get a,, i guess craving to interact with certain people
like especially if we haven’t for a while and they seem to be doing their own things and the longer it is the more awkward it would feel for me to barge in again
and like the reason we don’t talk can be a lot of things! not necessarily bad things either. i’m busy, they’re busy, life events happen
but i guess i care too much about other people to really be selfish or clingy
like when i have a moment when i’m overreacting about something or know i’m complaining for no real reason, i say beforehand ‘i’m taking a moment to be selfish’ because i know i’m really in no place to adequately complain about whatever, but i still want my feelings acknowledged
but again, i care too much about people to fall into really bad behaviors, even stuff that doesn’t directly involve others, like self-harm or anything else reckless and dangerous
so like when i want to talk to somebody i haven’t in a while, i kind of trick myself into thinking they’re fine without me and have kind of forgotten i’ve existed, so barging back in is rude and clingy and an inconvenience to them
honestly it’s gotten to the point i believe it’s the truth with a few of my friends
quite a few of them
i’ve maybe slipped one or two messages in their chat box and then vanished, and they just never responded, either busy or they forgot or whatever or maybe they just went ‘oh it’s them. whatever’
and i’m
fine with that
......................
there are probably going to be some people who feel this is specifically about Them but it’s not. it’s about a LOT of friends. it happens a lot for lots of reasons, like, maybe we only had a few things in common so we only have maybe one or two high-energy conversations once in a while and then leave it at that
but
i don’t want to feel like me talking like this is some backhanded way of saying ‘hey why aren’t you answering me’
it’s not and it’s fine and i KNOW people have other things to do and i’m not the most important person in the world but
y’know, mental illness is a bitch
so sometimes i just have to babble about this
anyway, that’s my minor problem before the big trip. probably going to be getting ready later today and tomorrow so idk how much i’ll be able to talk.
if you read this far could you please like the post so i’ll know....
