These were all received within about two minutes of each other, wherein I was immediately blocked after. I was in the middle of a game and not able to respond. "I can't pause online games, mom!"
Look, here's the thing... I understand having insecurities eat at you. I struggle with this, myself. But sending passive-aggressive messages like this (When, clearly, it DOES matter to you, despite what you might say) is NOT the correct way to deal with said insecurities.
If I were to suggest a better way to approach this situation, it would be to simply say, "Hey, I haven't heard from you in X days - I keep thinking I might have said something wrong. I'm sorry if it's anxiety eating at me, but if I did do something wrong, I'd like to know what so that I can avoid it in the future."
This guy had done absolutely nothing wrong... It just hadn't come to me messaging him again yet. We'd just met the week prior. We said our hellos, exchanged a tad bit of art, he mentioned that he didn't use emojis and I said I find them useful for communicating over text as it's far more limited in expression than through voice or in-person communication, and then that was that. I didn't see his message to me the day after (I'm still not sure how discord never showed me a notification..?) and then I got this.
I sometimes find myself afflicted by everyone-must-hate-me syndrome. I also hate feeling like I'm forcing someone to interact with me, so my usual method of dealing with both is to just not bother whomever the someone in question might be. My brain likes to default to "they will just message me when/if they want to talk to me", which I know probably isn't the most healthy thing, but idk what else to do about it really ;-;

Also, totally not trying to hijack your journal, but do you ever have people who message you like once or twice a quarter, and then get mad for "not talking to them"?
It's like, bitch, I tried D:

I've had this on several occasions. The most amusing thing I've had happen, though, is me and a pal of mine. We both kind of stopped talking to each other at one point because we both felt the other didn't like us. Naturally, this wasn't true on either side, but it's hilarious to think a year of contact was lost because of both of our insecurities... Especially when looking back on the messages it was obvious neither of us thought ill on the other.

I think most people feel it now and then... With me, I was in a car accident a few years ago and my memory has grown even worse than it was before. Sometimes I just don't remember to boop people - Even my closest of friends. I feel awful not messaging so many people I care about. ^^''

Hmmm, being socially awkward I have learned the hard way there’s sure-fire way to prevent misunderstandings. Not sure I fully understand your journal though. Anyway sometimes insecurities can cause me to take someone’s words or lack thereof the wrong way.
