I can never help but think in a negative way and it worries me deeply. Perhaps they did not see my message, I think that to try an calm me down. Maybe they are busy and can't get back to me. I try to think of any excuse as to why they never got back to me. After an hour it feels bad but the longer it goes on without response, the worse I feel. People will say this is an immature way to behave but I can't help it. The longer I get no reply the more my anger grows towards this person. I dunno, I wish I could just relax over this.

I hear ya, It's the fear that your all alone and no likes you anymore, I have that same fear every time I post a new thread or answer someone else. What if I say the wrong thing or offend someone, but if I listened to that fear (which it's hard not to) I'd never post, answer or talk ever again. So I like to think that person is scared to respond because of their own anxieties, then I feel better.
Yesterday I bounced in and out of chat for an hour without saying anything then finally gave up. Here's two hugs
hope this made you feel not so alone.
