Every once in a while I feel the need to clarify this with people, especially over the last ~2-3 weeks, which have been super busy: I dont like messaging, texting, emailing, talking on the phone, or, really, any form of private person-to-person communication that doesnt involve eye contact and/or occupying the same physical space. It doesnt really matter if its a stranger or an old friend or whatever. I am an equal-opportunity text non-returner. Its not that I HATE it or that one should NEVER contact me via gchat or text message or whatever, its just that I dont always respond and Im not going to develop the habit any time soon. Its also not an exact science; sometimes I reply, sometimes I dont. Im more likely to respond to something with a purpose, like a question or request or a party invitation (hint hint.) I really never, ever, ever just wanna chat for the heck of it. I know this is a relatively quirky way to be in 2015, hence the notice. I just worry (and have had it confirmed by several awkward conversations) that people think Im mad at them or hate them. I dont. I hate texts. Not you. If youve ever messaged, texted, or otherwise reached out to me and not gotten a response, please believe me when I say its me, not you.
