Just a thought, especially with texts, is its real easy to 'dismiss' the notification your phone gives you with full intent of replying. Then you forget. I know I've looked at texts and realized I've forgotten to respond to someone.
I have one person I email regularly. Sometimes it is answered in seconds, sometimes the next day. Its so easy to turn myself inside out second-guessing what I've written, trying to make allowances for what might be going on in their life. Ultimately I mostly and often feel rejected. I've learnt if I feel that way to write a reply email, but, I have to wait X amount of time before sending it. In my case, I've chosen 24hrs.
Youre right. Usually something has happened in their world and its nothing to do with rejecting me. And, after 24hrs, the pain isn't as strong so I feel a little more confident and less of a need to hear and be reassured.
Very very hard when you're alone and struggling.
There are so many here who want to help fill out rather distract you from feeling the pain of that void.
Youre lovable. Know that to be true.
