How do you feel being "left on read" for hours? Does it bother or you? Or you don't care?

It doesn’t bother me. We weren’t meant to be constantly available to everyone at all times.

I don't care. Everyone I talk to is an adult with responsibilities. I don't expect to be anyone's number one priority which is why I don't mind it.

I don't super care people are busy and have lives. Sometimes it takes people days to get back to me. I have a lot of neurodivergent friends so sometimes we get episodes and become antisocial for a while. We all just accept it.

It doesn't really concern me, because the person may have gotten distracted by something at work, home, or perhaps bedtime had arrived.

I don’t mind being left on read, as long as they get back to me at some point. I just like knowing I’m not being ignored.

I usually don't even notice I was left on read for a long time in the first place. It would only bother me if I needed something important urgently or I asked something and didn't get any reply at all, after weeks, months so I figure out that we're done.

I don’t notice, generally. Real life beats online chats, so I figure we’ll pick things up when they return, and I’m not offended at all.

It depends. On situation. I know some just read messages occasionally.

If someone im close to. I take in consideration their schedule. If continues, I stop messages. Let them message me

My poor brain fears the worst!!! I wish that I could soothe that part of me and just trust in God's plan!

Things happen, I feel like, "They will get back eventually" cause I do the same thing sometimes.

UNLESS it is something important but that seldom is the case.

I can understand hours. But not days. It does hurt.

Depends if the message was important but then id just call anyway.

I usually text with purpouse of it not being urgent so no, i dont even really think about it.
