i'm probably always gonna struggle with replying to stuff, and i need to prioritise getting better at replying to work stuff and appointment calls which feels more urgent/vital.
i'm way more likely to listen to a couple of those than open up a long line of messages.īut yeah, mostly i just try to not beat myself up over it. voice messages feel like less effort, i can say more in one voice message where normally one text message would just be a dumb sentence so it feels more compact and less like i'm bugging people? and voice messages from my friend, big or small, feel like SUCH a treat. phone calls can be intimidating cos it feels like being put on the spot. I've also found voice messages SO helpful for me. tagging ppl or being tagged in stuff is nice as a nod to "hey i'm thinking of you" without chatting, or i like/comment on peoples social media stuff, etc. i have some friends who i check in with less than monthly but i know when covid settles ill see them and nothing will have changed.Īs for closer friends who i genuinely want to talk to regularly, i feel i've expressed that i'm bad at replying or starting conversations, and they kinda help out.
I try to remind myself it's totally okay to not reply if i don't feel like it. I definitely have phases of sucking at replying or just being way too good at it and kinda getting drained from being on my phone? and i'm an extrovert so none of it helps in that way 😂
