Do you still spend time on things and people you don't like if you aren't obligated to deal with them? Or do you just outright ignore and skip?

Sometimes, I do think politeness and manners can do its own kind of harm.

Sometimes when people are not in the mood, we end up selective to preserve energy on what and who we count as priorities.

But sometimes even if we do like things and people, we still make them wait just because.

So sometimes when I don't reply, sometimes it's not you but me. Maybe I'm looking for something better or maybe I'm looking for myself.

The thing is you shouldn't have to justify it. If you don't reply then it just sucks to be them and that's your right not to. I'm on another site and I get messages on there constantly at least 50 a day and I ignore 100% of them. I only talk to people who I reach out to. If you reach out to me I will ignore you. Because I just don't trust people. But I trust my own judgements. If I talk to you it's because I think that you are a decent person. Not Because of a photo or some thirst trap. I don't care to see anyone's body I have a man. It's because I want to see what's in your brain, your opinions and your thought process.
