Sometimes I feel rude not responding to people on social media, how rude am I actually being?

1. They probably do, but who cares? You don’t owe anybody your time or attention, especially not on social media.

   They’re not entitled to your time because they said something nice.

2. Would you care if you got left on read

3. Who cares what entitled and desperately thirsty guys DMing strangers on Instagram think?

   They’ve liked 50 other women’s pictures before lunch. You owe them nothing.

4. If you don’t actually want to talk to them it’s more polite to just leave it then to respond

5. See some people say “hot girl behavior” about shit like this but will message multiple women a day. Like, bro, you’re contributing to these overwhelming inboxes.

6. I don’t cuz i do the same thing lol. most guys/girls do but your time is important and i don’t think that is rude. in a position like yours it’s ok for you ,they probably care but it’s not worth your time to think about them.

7. It’s technically rude but acceptable imo. There are some really bored people out there who have nothing better to do than play on social media all day.

   For me personally, I’m a very busy person. If I check social media it’s for seconds out of the day and I don’t have time to get drawn into conversations. I just don’t have the energy to give for that kind of thing.

8. I don’t know. I don’t respond to people a lot. I like being left alone.

   Sometimes I’ll respond when it’s urgent or relevant, but if it’s just mindless shit I’ll leave ’em on read.

9. If fake internet friends make you feel bad. Probable shouldn’t be on the internet.
