the last word

Jan 17, 2008 20:10

i have a problem with just leaving emails unanswered. i always feel like a reply is necessary as soon as someone emails me. so what happens is.. there's this back and forth email thing that goes on. it's like waiting to see who's gonna run out of things to say first (eventually) or something. this happens to me all the time while e-mailing different people at work. a part of me feels like a pest for continuing to answer. but i figure, maybe they want me to keep talking? (or maybe not. doh!)

anyway.. i don't really know if i'm more comfortable with me saying the last word or the other person doing so. if i say the last word, i'd feel like i was just bugging the other person and that's why they didn't reply to me anymore. OR if i don't reply, i feel guilty cuz i keep thinking MAYBE they are waiting for my reply and now think i'm a snob? oh geez.

i don't think i'm making any sense. i'm talking in circles! i think it's some sort of a sickness, i tell ya!

i'm getting better tho. i don't always reply to officially "end" the conversation. i try to let things be. but it's so hard!
