The entitlement of immediate digital access to someone needs to end 🧵🪡

Watching someone explain that replying to messages takes real cognitive energy, only to be told they’re "mentally unwell" or "don't deserve people who care about them" is exactly why so many people shut down entirely.

This creates a loop that makes answering messages feel so heavy: *You run out of mental energy to respond *You know people expect instant availability *The anxiety of being judged, guilted, or berated for being "slow" builds up *The cognitive load doubles, making it even harder to reply

An unread text is not a personal attack, a moral failing, or a demand for a diagnosis. People have limited bandwidth, demanding jobs, and lives outside their screens. You are not entitled to someone's immediate energy just because you sent a notification to their pocket.
