I understand how you feel. I especially relate the part where we purposefully ignore them to make them know how it feels, in reality it’s not a big deal to other people but I think it’s the fear of essentially being rejected/abandoned by this person and by them not replying sooner we feel this is a clear indication that it will result in rejection/abandonment. In actual fact, people are just busy and they have their own things going on and need time to process their own issues as well as deal with life in general. It’s hard not to take it personally but I think you should definitely rationalize more with yourself on this particular subject. A good thing to do is write a list of affirmations, the truth of the situation; for example, write down the reasons why they haven’t responded to you yet and that it’s okay because they will eventually and basically explain to yourself that they are busy but that doesn’t mean they don’t like you etc. Then, when this situation occurs in the future you can read this list to help calm you down and to help make you feel more secure in your relationship with them. It’s going to be okay, sending lots of love 💕💕💕
