Does anyone else hate it when people don't reply to messages?

Want to start by saying I'm not calling anyone out on here, just venting about other crap. It's like, it's not "socially acceptable" to text directly after sending a message. Or even any time afterward, because all it does is give the impression that you're needy or that you don't have a life/even that you're a little creepy. But those things aren't always true, at all. Actually, if you're really interested in a conversation you're having with someone and they suddenly stop replying for days whilst still post on social media/you hear from friends that they've been speaking with them you're kind of left wondering if you've said something wrong/ you've upset them. i don't get it. leads me to believe I'm the weird one. every. single. time. Is it wrong to enjoy talking to someone/be disappointed when they don't respond?

I am one of these bad communicators. Happens for various reasons:
1. You read the message but don't have time to write the reply you want to leave at that point.
2. You compose the reply in your head which leads you to think you've replied. You yourself are surprised later to see you haven't.
3. You don't have much time at that point.
4. You only want to message up to a point then no matter how much you like the person, it feels like hardwork to keep it up continuously in a never-ending continuum.
5. (This one only fits in SW) The person who messaged you chose to message you. You replied out of politeness.
6. You would reply but you just can't think of anything else to say / don't know what to say.

@LilPuckBunny This does make a lot of sense. Thank you.

@LilPuckBunny number 2 is so real
@ShaythePanTransMan I do number 2 a lot. Some times it makes my blood run cold with horror when I find out I didn't reply. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@LilPuckBunny yeah me too. It’s really annoying why can’t our thoughts become words
@ShaythePanTransMan Because I'd get drunk and send terrible messages everywhere by accident. 😆
