#like both of those are pretty valid reasons to be anxious about someone's reply speed

i am begging people to be less weird about whether or not i'm online/how quickly i'm replying to messages

i like want to make new friends online but this is just the reddest possible flag to me

#like there's the universal 'oh i sent a risky message so the longer it goes without a response the more stressed i get' #and 'oh i sent a message to a group chat that was moving at a pretty fast pace and now no one is responding' #like both of those are pretty valid reasons to be anxious about someone's reply speed #and even then i usually don't actually say anything to the parties concerned when i'm experiencing these things lol #but if you're a brand new internet friend and you keep making comments on my 'online' status on discord #and getting antsy if i'm showing as online but not responding right away #literally back off lol
