I Never Reply

This is from https://www.tumblr.com/floccinaucinihilipilificationa and it's so relatable.

The spacing between "mis" and "take" is the only thing I can focus on in this meme.
- There's your answer, fishbulb.
- Omg I've never thought of the etymology of mistake before

Messages from my friends are the one kind of message I don't do this on, because I'm way too online and also doing anything mean to my friends makes me feel way too guilty (and I mostly fuel my motivation through guilt and fear of failure)
- I bet they appreciate that about you though.

And here i thought this was just me and it came from trauma. Is that really an ADHD thing? Especially with the quick self doubt?
- It can also be a trauma thing. Not everything is ADHD.

  Intersection.

I feel a preemptive pain when I receive a message, almost as if I’m going to get yelled at for taking too long to reply or for not fully understanding the message from every contextual angle possible to understand a hidden meaning that I’m supposed to infer from, or for expressing the wrong emotion/tone.
It even happens when I just see the message notification
Welp
- I have a bad habit of getting into fights online and then not having enough energy for a high-intensity reply, or getting the resources needed to keep going, so I'll clear the notification and then just never go back to it.
  I know it probably gives troll vibes sometimes which I hate but... I just remind myself that this isn't something I'm doing maliciously and try to forgive myself.
  
  Same. I see the notifications and think "Oh no, here it comes..."
  Usually it's surprisingly positive, but I skim the negative ones, and even think to myself "Yes, I do on fact mean exactly that", but I can't be arsed to respond.

me too thanks
