A few days ago, I was talking with my friend and she said that one of my red flags was that I might ghost people, and I completely agree because I do ghost people, even her, but not with the intention to ghost or ignore, I just find it super hard to reply to people when I don't feel like it, because if I do, I'll either sound super uninterested, or I'll see replying to you as a chore I have to be done with so that it doesn't bother me through the day
The thing is, if you matter to me I'd like to answer you with my full attention which might cause me to ignore your notifications until I feel free enough to answer you
Which is not completely right because this means I can ignore your notifications for hours on end until I feel like answering, but at the same time I still expect you to answer right away
So I know this is a really bad habit I have but I have no idea how to not do it, it's what I've always been used to do and sometimes it just feels like I don't have the energy to reply
I'd like to know your opinions on this and if you have any tips to help overcome this habit because it's affecting everyone I love and care about an I just feel like I'm not there for them when they need me yet they're always there for me which is not fair

yoo nooo this isnt a "bad habit" all youre doing is taking time out in a day for yourself lol. also just because you arent constantly messaging your friends back and forth constantly doesnt mean youre ghosting anyone, not everyone can sit down all day and talk 24.7 to ppl some people need to recharge and have time they can be at ease with themselves. i wouldnt even feel guilty ab it and keep doing you. you shouldnt feel pressured to text anyone back instantly like cmon thats unrealistic, even if you text back after hours thats fine too and you shouldnt feel bad/awkward, just pick the convo up from where it last ended and call it a day
Yk, this made me take a whole other look on it, Ig I'll ease up on the guilt part, thank you!
