I consider it a personal\u00a0attack when someone I&#8217;m interested in doesn&#8217;t text back. No warning. No explanation. No nothing, Jesus. Just silence.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not even the fact that a man completely ghosted me or was rude enough to abruptly cease all communication. I take issue with the time we&#8217;ve invested.\u00a0Do you know I currently have 40+ unread text messages and 3,487 unread emails yet I bothered to carry a conversation with you? That&#8217;s a different kind of disrespectful. My fingers prioritized you when really I could&#8217;ve been working on another masterpiece instead of sending a text that appears to be lost in space.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m insulted.<\/p>\n<p>I recognize that people have real full-time jobs and I have seven side hustles that make for one career meaning I have more time to text. I get it. But sir, I&#8217;m busy too. I gotta really like you to take my attention from my writing. And trust, I don&#8217;t like most\u00a0people. If a man fails to respond to my text, I reject the notion that I&#8217;m &#8220;overcommunicating&#8221; or he&#8217;s &#8220;not good at texting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever met me? I probably talked your ear off when we met. Of course I&#8217;m going to do the same when we text.

He never got my text, yeah, that&#8217;s why I haven&#8217;t heard from him.<\/p>\n<p>I gotta be realistic. Mama didn&#8217;t raise no fool. These are all excuses to stroke my ego and put a bandage over the real issue at hand. The truth of the matter is, the reason why he didn&#8217;t text me back is that he lost interest. It&#8217;s okay for someone to lose interest in you. Man&#8217;s rejection is often God&#8217;s protection.
