When you’re feeling down, remember that just because you usually text first doesn’t mean you don’t matter to other people. Lots of people have mild social anxiety, lose track of time, or have other reasons they may forget to text - if they carry on a conversation and respond pretty quickly once you start texting, they’re probably grateful that you reached out.
For example, if one of your friends who usually starts conversations goes a few days without texting, are you going to assume they’re having a rough time and that you should reach out? Or do you just assume they’ve been busy for a few days? Your friends don’t have any reason to suspect you’re struggling unless you tell them something’s going on.
I feel this 😭❤️
