When people read your message but don't reply

[mrssunshinexxx]

It's my absolute pet hate you know when you see th little blue ticks and no they have read it but choose not to reply. I know sometimes you don't always have time to reply but then hours... a day or 2 goes by and still nothing and you feel a pest for chasing it up?!

im a little like this - and everything that has been said by previous posters i have heard before - this is MY problem that i feel this way and i need to change. This week, I've only picked up my phone twice a day, checked WhatsApp once/twice a day. Thats it. Phone is on bedside by 9pm and i don't look at it anymore. If anyone needs me, they call me and ill hear that. I do feel better, I'm not as anxious anymore and i hope it helps!

If its a service she's providing though OP - call her. Talk to her.

Obviously people see texting in different ways. To me it’s chatter. Ignoring someone’s “Hi, how are you?” text is the same as bumping into someone in the supermarket and ignoring them when they ask how you are. You wouldn’t would you?! It’s the same sort of scenario - you’re busy doing your weekly shop. You didn’t ask to meet someone you know, you’re busy but it’s the polite thing to stop and say “I’m good. Just doing the weekly shop. How’s you?”

Or is that just me? 😀

If someone takes time out of their day to text me, the least I can do is reply. It takes seconds after all.

If we are talking about FB messenger, the blue tick simply means delivered - not read.

I am another who hates the pressure to reply - I often deliberately don't open messages straight away so there is no expectation! That is why I prefer messaging to phone contact - a phone call is asking for my attention at that very moment and demands immediate response, messaging is meant to be more casual - so if you need a quick response, phone the person.

Some people are far too busy to pettifog over a message.
You sound quite demanding
