The 4 people I call true blue lifetime friends and I have met all of them here on PC

I have trouble with face to face friendships because I often can’t follow through on plans due to my pain or my BP but I think it’s more my pain.

In general what I have seen over the years PC is perfect for anyone that struggles with friendships that is face to face or on the phone ....people who are expecting communication right then.

On PC I can respond when I have the time or mentally, physically feel up to it.

The woman I moved into my home from PC who is NOT included in my 4 people , would get angry if I didn’t respond to her message or text from across the house!! FREAKING HELLO !!!!! I could go a hour to a day or more for me to reply. Sure if someone was in crisis but otherwise I didn’t jump everytime a message or text came through.

I’m literally the type of person who someone will call me and I’ll watch it ring, then text a while later ... what’s up ?

This is not me being an asssshole , this is me using self care and if my need for selfcare isn’t understandable well then I don’t need people like that in my life.

I’ll repeat again... if someone is in crisis I will immediately respond ! But chit chat ? It can often wait a couple hours or until I am done cooking , cleaning by etc.
