I have one or two good friends that I text, and a couple situationships that I text daily. Don’t ask, I want a relationship but people suck. I feel anxious that I text back more frequently than all of these people do. I have hobbies, as well as a full time job, but my job is mostly structured by me, and self paced with little interaction with others.
Sometimes I let an hour or two go between, because I can’t always reply fast, but I’m always the one who responds last in the convo and gets left on read or what not. I understand text convos don’t always have a perfect ending, or they’re busy, or don’t know how to respond in the moment so they forget.
In person I’m not as witty and I really enjoy texting because I always know what to say. I try to banter and start a longer conversation but I’m the one who gets left on delivered or read a lot. They don’t necessarily have a problem with it, I just feel anxious and feel like I look too eager or available.
What can I do to help this at all? Or does this seem okay ?
