i ,17m, literally had friendships end, arguments with my partners and all just because i can't answer to texts. it's not in the "im busy lately" or "i can't focus on the conversation rn" type way. i want to reply but i can't get myself to open the chat and type a simple yes or no. i get so disturbed by the idea of a question being there that i never go into that app, i sometimes turn off my phone completely just so they can't reach me. and i do it with people i like to spend time w and like to chat with. sometimes i start the conversation and then i again disappear to nowhere… my closest friends are used to this and they dont mind it when i check their messages once a month.
the weird part is that i have no problem talking on phone, if this said people call me i answer right away and talk confidently without any issues. afaik i dont have adhd or autism. im an extrovert and talkative person and it had always been this way since i got my first phone.
can anyone relate or know why i might be doing this? i feel like im trying to find an excuse to me being a jerk but idk really.
