Dear inconsistent people,
What is the point? Why do you lead people along the way you do?
Can you simply not decide if you actually want to be in someone else’s life or not?
Are you just so busy? So busy, in fact, that you post on social media all the time — something that probably takes a lot longer than sending a simple text or maybe even making a phone call.
No, you’re right. Who does that anymore? That’d be way too much. You wouldn’t want to put yourself at the risk of appearing to care.
So what is it? Is it all a part of of some game I didn’t know we were supposed to be playing? Should I, too, stop being so consistent in my relationships?
Should I stop prioritizing people I actually care about? Just give up making a conscious effort to keep in touch, to reply back for weeks or months on end?
No, I’m not going to do that because it makes zero sense. I don’t try and string people along just to avoid having to do what I clearly need to do in that scenario: cut them out of my life.
And that’s what you need to do, inconsistent people. You truly need to stop wasting people’s time and decide. Don’t be that annoying person who doesn’t know what they want to eat, or who they care about.
