Reply to My sister recently had a portion of her colon removed because of cancer, I gave her this shirt to celebrate a successful surgery. by thelongit88
That’s pretty fantastic 😄
Heads up, the “;” is used to signify struggles with suicide and the fight to continue life, so there’s probably going to be misunderstandings about the shirt from other people. https://www.asecondchance-kinship.com/suicide-prevention-the-significance-of-the-semicolon/

Say you don’t have the emotional bandwidth to help them out right now/talk to them right now. It doesn’t put the blame directly on them, but it does let them know they are demanding a lot of attention/ emotional attention at that moment.
Being annoying is subjective, and maybe to other people it would be fine.

Reply to LPT: seeing someone's message but not replying to it is a very disrespectful act by [deleted]
They might not be responding because they have anxiety.
Or
They might need to think over their response.
Or
They might not have the bandwidth to handle dealing with your text at that moment, but wanted to check to make sure the text wasn’t urgent.
I can take days to respond to messages because I’m not mentally up for it, however, I don’t want to leave someone hanging if it’s urgent. Throwing in the “it’s rude” just makes it even more anxiety provoking and makes it less likely people will respond.
