Struggling to Keep Up with Online Communication

I’m not sure if this is an effect of my anxiety or depression, but one thing about me is I’ve always been bad at replying to texts, emails, etc. I don’t know why but I’m always beyond exhausted to talk to people online. I always end up replying weeks or months late and it becomes an issue with some. Some friendships have ended because of my lack of texting others lol. I honestly don’t mind, I’m not gonna waste my day texting you if you’re gonna get mad I don’t reply every two minutes. I have a life after all. Anyways it just is very hard to reply to texts for me. I apologize if I haven’t replied to anyone on here as fast as they’d like. It takes so much energy out of me for some reason.

Hey, don't worry about it too much. I completely get that. I don't really like talking to many people either but sometimes I do make a time in day for them (mainly for streaks and to talk to close friends) then I just respond until I don't want to anymore

@Maggiemoo I agree which is why I don’t even try to reason with people if they get upset at it from me. The first time it happened was with a group of some of my best friends since childhood and it really hurt. But now I simply move on and truly cherish the people who still care for me and come with open arms even when we haven’t spoken in a while

I have the exact same thing but I believe that if they are good friends they won’t care if your busy or anything and they’ll still be your friend
