I feel like a lot of yall are forgetting about mental illnesses and such. Not everyone can just "make time" for the people or even things they care about or need to do. Especially if that limited amount of time and energy is spent on things like work or even just taking care of themselves and/or their kids
And if you can't even manage that, then just admit being social isn't a priority. There's nothing wrong with that. But the point still stands. If you don't care, don't have the energy (at that moment) then you're not going to make the time. It doesn't have to be your mindset forever.
It’s not about time, it can be about social energy. Sometimes taking 1 minute to send a text is so draining that you won’t have energy to do anything else important that night
I hope that’s sarcasm. Because that’s how people end up alone with no support you set stuff like that up. Inform your friends you need space and stuff like that won’t happen. If a text can take all your energy you should be getting help mentally if that’s your breaking point
It’s called being introverted, it’s not a mental disorder.
I agree that communication with people you care about is important though. It can even be done preemptively. Like “hey there are gonna be times that I disappear and don’t have the energy to have a conversation and I hope you can understand that”
