Bad, bad habbits
The biggest complaint that people seem to have about me (by that I mean the one they actually say to my face) is how I don't respond to e-mails, text messages, IMs or calls. Sometimes I even don't really respond to people in person.
I just got a text message from a guy I'm in a non-dating relationship with (it's one of those situations). It says ( Read more... )
Just for the record, I don't think you're horrible at all. I think in today's society, we're so used to being constantly connected to people at all times of the day. If we have a question, all we have to do is tap a few keys on that little mobile telephone. If we're stuck at work we can send an instant piece of mail.
Because of this I think people have become TOO dependent on each other and so when they meet someone who is very independent of society most times, they don't know how to react. It's sort of a running joke now within my friends how I should be the last person to call because I "won't pick up anyway." They tell me sometimes I seem really cold or like I'm mad at them just because I didn't respond to a text within .005 seconds after receiving it.
Yes, it makes me feel bad. It makes me feel like a bad friend sometimes, but I think the people who know you know that you're not trying to be mean, that you don't do this on purpose. When you say sometimes you just don't want to talk to people, I completely understand you. I don't like being around people for prolonged periods of time. There is nothing wrong with needing some "me" time!
What I'm saying is there's nothing wrong with you at all. Some people just aren't used to how to react when someone they know likes to be by themselves for a change. :)
