My self esteem is way too low...

It hurts when I see friends I've been chatting a lot with appear with a green dot on the homepage, only to be offline again a minute later. I've opened SW plenty of times out of habit when looking for something else and I know that could very well be why they popped up, but I can't help but think they logged in purposefully, saw I was online too and logged out to avoid me.

That feeling is even stronger when they read my message and leave without replying, while I also sometimes want to give a reply more thought. I just can't convince myself that to be the case when someone does it to me and instead immediately feel like they are no longer interested. Even if they do get back to me later 90% of the time, that doesn't stop me from jumping to that conclusion...

You’re worrying too much and shouldn’t take it personally

For example, with me, I’ll sign onto sw and my internet will go down or I need to do something else quickly irl or I’ll get a phone call so I sign out within a few minutes. Or I’m checking my feed and the latest posts and then I have to go. There could be so many reasons why I’m off and on sw quickly at various times of the day. Same when I read a message: I’ll get busy doing something ie irl and mean to come back and reply to the message and I forget.
