Constantly Offline
It’s no secret that for most introverts, the preferred method of communication is texting; this method is less intimate than video chats, phone calls, or talking in person. But nonetheless, it can still get overwhelming and stressful to constantly reply to messages. A lot of us do this; read notifications from the notification bar so we don’t have to reply.
Whoever created the notification bar probably had this in mind, and we applaud them. It truly is a brilliant idea. There is a certain pressure that is put on you when someone knows that you have read their message and they’re waiting for a reply. We would like to reply on our own terms instead of being pressured into giving anyone an answer.
