Oh my god I feel this so deeply. I have social media but never, ever look at it. I also can’t stand messenger because all my friends insist on having multiple group chats, so I’ve just muted them all and don’t have notifications turned on. I might check messenger once a day or every 2 days. I never check Facebook. The amount of times I’ve had friends (well just one in particular really) get shitty with my because I’m not responding to their message when they KNOW this.

If it’s so urgent that you’re going to get genuinely annoyed at me for not checking messenger more often, why not take 2 minutes out of your day to call me? Or at the very least send me a text? Why get so passive aggressive about it when you know that there’s a simple solution to this.

Probably if I just got rid of all social media they would be more understanding, but as it is, few of them expect me to be as glued to messenger throughout the day as they are and get kinda hostile when I’m not. It shits me to no end. I’ve been this way for the entire time I’ve known them. Nothing has changed in 10+ years. I’m not changing my ways now
