I get really excited because it shows up as another PM in the number at the top.

And then I realizeā€¦

And now that I think about it, only about half of that number are actual messages I have received.

Am I alone in these feelings of deception and betrayal?

Send more PMs and the number will exceed a 5:1 ratio.

I almost never send PMs first. People PM me and I'm like "ohey" but if I send a PM to someone and they respond that obligates me to respond back and makes me responsible for this initiated communication which stresses me out for some reason that I don't know. Same with emails too. This is probably rooted in some deep insecurity that I've just always ignored, like my email.

That's probably true about the insecurities, it only bugs me if I ask a direct question about an RP and it gets ignored but I can see that person is active on the site. Oh hell then my anxiety & insecurity flares up.

I guess I get anxiety when people send PMs too. I mean, usually it's no big deal and they just want to chat but before I read it I get all anxious like "oh my gosh what was so serious that this person needed to say something to me in private." I know that it's completely irrational, and I don't know why I get like that. It's so strange.

I used to feel that way a little. PMs require so much energy for some reason. It's like you have to compose a long message and as each of you say more and more, the responses necessary kind of explode until you're writing essays.

that's why I've always preferred IMs.

I always get distracted by something while IMing and forget about the person I was talking to.

I'm terrible at this communication thing.

I have been told on multiple occasions that I am a very difficult person to get in contact with.

You literally have to make an appointment to give me a phone call, because I never have my phone on me, I just use my iPod to text, but that's been really unreliable lately.

I'm getting an iPhone at the end of the month, so hopefully after that my problems will at least all be in the same place.

Go for it.

Just search Clirkus.
