Yeah this is a shit take. Mentally, I am not in a good place at this point in time and it’s hard for me to respond to someone over the phone via text or call especially someone who’s asking me if I’m alright when they know I am not. You’re not entitled to anyone’s time, regardless of their reasoning as to why they aren’t responding to you. Even if it is a simple yes or no answer, most of the time when we say that, y’all want us to elaborate, then proceed to start talking about yourselves or your hardships or change the subject to some random shit we don’t have time for. I used to get upset when someone wouldn’t respond to me even though I’ve seen them on social media hours or days after the fact but now I realize people are busy, sometimes forgetful that you texted, aren’t on their phones much, mentally can’t bring themselves to have human contact via a cellular device, etc.

Stop being a self-centered asshole.
