Okay so this is short, but some times if I text a friend or I have a boyfriend and I ask them a what I see as an important question.
Like are we meeting etc. the longer the wait in reply the more the thoughts of si are?
More so when you know they have read the text?
I know this is not normal behaviour but its so frustrating.
I'm. Not the only one am I.?
Thanks for this!

Do you think that you aren't important when this happens? How do you know that they read the text?

ME! I hate that I feel this way, but you're not alone!
I try to remind myself that I can't control other people's behaviors (replying, or not replying); I can only control what I do.

I wish I had something more helpful to say, but I'm in the same boat

I know that for me I definitely feel like, ok he/she hasn't txted me back yet, am I not worth a response? Then I think that maybe I P.O'd the person or something, then I get mad that they haven't replied. I totally have to try to back the eff away from that thinking because like others have said, I can't control their response or lack thereof. I don't have any tips though, because it usually doesn't work. I don't usually end up si/sh due to the lack of response, but more so if a response "triggers" something from my past....(if that made any sense?)

Hope that helped a bit? If not, I'm sorry! Hugs to you tho.

Thanks it always help knowing that your not the only one.
I know when people have read my text cos it shows on my phone.
The crazy thing is.. I read texts and can't always reply as busy etc.
and I try to remind my self the person is the same as me.
But can always help the feeling that they are waiting to text me back cos they don't want to see me, or they just can't be bothered.
It's just crazy. I want to be more in control. I want to not care if they do or don't want to see me. But in caring way if that makes sense!!!

I think that the key here is to know what is being triggered up from the past. In another thread, if I remember correctly, you write about your mom not paying attention? If a person can heal their past wounds then these wounds can't be triggered up.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
