Why do people assume they’re ghosted when someone doesn’t immediately reply?

I’m sorry that people are busy…. People have LIVES. They can’t respond in 5 minutes all the time. Especially when you know someone’s at work, school, sleeping, etc and blow them up witn texts that aren’t important.

If you need to get ahold of someone over something important that’s one thing. But to BLOW someone up with shit. It gets annoying and sometimes you have to start ignoring someone for a while. Untim you have time to read it. Especially if it’s just links to videos or photos or random comments.

Some people don't have lives, or have never had anything other than their relationship with YOU in their lives.

To these people, it is literally inconceivable that something more important than THEM exists in your life.

Swear to god, I've seen a girl FREAK the fuck out because I stopped chatting to her to feed a child his breakfast.

Red flags fucking everywhere, if you just objectively look.

People especially women have gotten too used to having instant replies with mobile phones and texts, society might be better off if a Western World Wide EMP took out ALL the mobile phone networks.

That is perfectly fine and completely valid. What wouldn't be valid is if awhile after this post you started complaining about people not responding to your texts anymore and leaving you on seen for days or weeks.

[Asker]

What is valid? Thinking you ghosted someone because you’re at work and don’t have time to be on Facebook all day?

Yeah nkt replying for DAYS is a problem

It is fine and valid not to respond if you expect the same treatment in a similar setting.
Please unleash your anger elsewhere. Thanks.

Lol. If I message someone and they’re busy. I get it

[Asker]

I’m not even angry. It’s just some people have lives…. And can’t sit and talk to you every minute of every day. If someone’s sleeping or at work. I wouldn’t expect them to get back to me right away. Unless it was a emergency

My brother now ex girlfriend did this and he always left her on read. She would constantly blow him up and tag him in billions of Facebook statuses

[Asker]

That’s annoying

[Asker]

Facebook people can be the worst. Especially people you barely know. But my gosh that’s annoying

[Opinion Owner]

Yep especially with people he knew but she barely knew because of how she is. She not even close with our sister and brother at all. so many of us got her blocked on everything. My brother ignored the shit out of her

[Asker]

Wow she is annoying

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly

They probably have abandonment issues and have little to no control over the way their brain reacts to perceived rejection or abandonment. The simplest solution is to decide if this is a deal breaker, or if you are interested enough in the relationship to help her work through the issues. Getting mad will not make this behavior stop by the way.

It is a modern day disease of the mind. Social media and texting has brainwashed people into thinking everything must happen NOW.

[Asker]

You’re going to jail

[laly520]

[WhitneySnow]

[Enginn]

[Asker]
