this scenario happens in my life from time to time:
- I send an e-mail or a phone call to a friend.
- No response. Like for a while.
- I send an another e-mail or a phone call.
- No response. Like for a longer time.
- I wait. I think. I wonder.
- I send a final flare in the air
- No response…
Now, the mind game begins:
- Bet they’re mad a me.
- No they’re not. You dork. They never got your e-mail. Your e-mail system sucks.
- Bet I did something wrong.
- No, they probably are just busy. There is more to life than your calls.
- Maybe they never got the message.
- Maybe my friend lost my number.
- Bet they’re mad at me.
- They hate me.
- Maybe they never talk to me again.
- Maybe I should call again.
- Maybe they’ll yell at me if I do.
- I’m over-reacting. I’m like a high school drama queen. Someone slap me.
- I wish I could just see them so I could ask them face to face.
- I think they hate me.
- Yep. They must hate me.
- …. I’d like to think about something else… but my brain is stupid.
I HATE MY HEAD. I HATE IT WORSE THAT I CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK.
