Hello everyone, I need to get something off my chest.
To those that I talk with on a fairly regular basis, you may notice that there have been periods where I’ve gone without speaking. I’m sorry for this but let me explain why.
See, where some people have the problem of no one wanting to talk with them, I have the opposite problem where a lot of people want to talk with me, all at the same time. When this happens, I have to try and keep four or five conversations going at one time, and it can get overwhelming and make my head hurt. Another I’ve noticed is that a lot of the people that I’m friends with on here tend to suffer from things like depression and low self-esteem. So when I go quiet, they think they did something wrong.
Please understand that if I go quiet on you for a period of time, it’s not because I’m mad at you or you did anything wrong or anything like that. Having to prioritize who I talk with everyday is a really difficult thing to do. While I’m helping one person out by talking with them, the feeling always lingers that someone else is hurting because I’m not talking with them. Many of the people I follow on here have said at one point or another that they’re hurting because they have no one to talk to, so I try to be that one they can talk to because I like to be helpful. But then having to turn around and de-prioritize them because someone else needs my attention more, it makes me feel like I’m doing them a disservice sometimes.
For anyone that feels this way, I’m so so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I...I feel so bad...*sniffles*
