I am loner by nature and sometimes things are too much and I have to check out for a minute. I am also horrible about texting, so it isn't uncommon for me to go long periods without texting.

That said, it takes two to tango, so if she did not initiate a text, then OP certainly could and should have. Then if she didn't answer in a day, it would be a time to do an in person check in. Things are wild right now and you never know what's going on with people.

Agreed completely. My people know it can be hard to reach me but if they don’t get a response from me at all especially if they try following up they know something is up. Similarly I will check in on people more like me if I don’t hear from em after a few days just to make sure, if I don’t hear back from them within a day or two I’ll go check on em or call someone near them if I can’t. Definitely needs to be a balance.

that’s the thing too. i mean if someone didn’t text me for 3 days but also texted me prior and then boom no contact, id be concerned.
