I hate texting

I don't want to text anymore. I don't want any good morning or goodnight messages. I find texting that lasts all day to be extremely exhausting. It makes me guess what the other person is trying to say, observe their energy, their reactions, any little change in their behavior... and I don't want that. I don't want all this drama. I want to live face to face. Don't want to feel under a lot of pressure. If you want me, come be with me. If you can't or we can't I just don't want to suffer. I don't want to guess or doubt. I just want a simple life

I used to text people all the time and was fine with it, but now I don't want to do that anymore because texting hasn't paid off. It just made me live in fantasy land and I want reality. I'm stronger in reality
Maybe this is because I've accumulated too many disappointments and now I'm weak, scared, unable to take much
I crave affection and everything but texting and guessing is torture and a waste of time

Is this normal ? Anyone out there like me ?

It sounds like you're anxious that you misinterpreted the context of past text msgs, and you fear you're going to repeat these mistakes. So instead of painfully learning to grow and improve at this discipline, you're choosing to abandon texting. Which will only further entrench you in being isolated in that regard.

I think you really just need to pause and question the context of things more, before letting the reactive stress/anxiety drive your decision-making. And just be kinder/more patient with others and yourself.

@nothereforpeople Especially be kinder with yourself. That's where kindness begins with everyone.

Habits of nice words start within.

No one's wrong, they just haven't found the way to make the bridge together.

If they are intentionally cruel, by all means run.

But I think if the world were mostly cruel just for the sake of cruelty, we wouldn't have so many selfles, hard-working people still hoping for a better tomorrow. And I don't think a manager wants to step on our heads to keep us under. I think they're just trying to reach the socket, to get the light to sit just right up there.

We all do our best. Calm and sure. Patiently.

Most organisms that impatiently and callously grow, are weeds and parasites.

Just be sure to sow seeds of gratitude in your heart, if you want to be happy and grateful every day of your life.

Make a habit of taking pause to sincerely appreciate the world, and enjoy that feeling.

That's what keeps us together.

Make a habit of accepting your sorrow, feeling it settle inside of you.

Behind your eyes.

In your heart.

Let it lie, you don't need to think about it.

Feelings have always existed within without physically hurting you.

Avoiding things doesn't work. Avoiding things is where pain originates.

Not being responsible, accountable, or taking charge in learning how to be.

Not controlling. Responsible. Accountable. Patient.

In whatever truth u manifest in this world

We can't be perfect every time, but it's good to make a habit of trying.

Just as it's good to make it a habit of knowing when to rest, regroup, rethink.

Sleep-deprivation and hunger can also have huge effects on our feelings.
