i really am a “text me if you need something” person. like unless i have something specific to talk about, i don’t usually initiate a conversation. if you wanna talk just to talk then im all here but dont take me not hittin you up as me not caring.
Reblogging here because it is incredibly important. I was brought up in a family that did not initiate contact unless there was a reason for it. I have been conditioned not to “bother” people unless I have to, and even then I will probably try everything on my own first. This means two things:
- If I ask you for help, I have exhausted every other option that I’m aware of and am hoping that you will be willing to help me without patronizing me (but if you do that it’s my own fault and I should have been able to figure it out on my own)
- if you ask for help, I will assume that you’ve done everything in your power to solve whatever problem, and if there is any way that I can help you, I’m going to try to, and I’m most likely not gonna give you any attitude about it. Unless, you know, I find out that you’re just being a whiney boobit… in which case I’ll roll my eyes and still probably help you.
But if you just want to talk, please approach me. I’m happy to talk! I love people and friends and everything! I’m just very well-practiced at keeping myself entertained until someone needs me for something. Hence why I am always busy. Because I am. That’s what I’m supposed to do. There are always tons of things to do.
