"At the end of the work day I am so exhausted from staring at my screens...that I am so depleted I barely have mental space to respond to text messages...I feel like a really bad friend. I also feel that people aren’t going to want to keep in contact with me when my responses are so flaky. When I am in person with someone I am extremely present. It’s much easier to give my energy that way. I do respond to time sensitive messages appropriately. It’s more so the sending of TikToks and daily catchups that feel burdensome. Should I improve my text back abilities or should my friends understand?"
