I get annoyed when I text someone I’m close to something I need to an answer to, if I got no one to have a conversation with or it being kind of an emergency and they read your text but don’t respond. Like my cousin, she’s very supportive and I see her like a sister but she never replied to me today about my week starting off bad and I’m really mad and resentful to her right now. I could say so many bad mean and hateful things to her right now but I’m better than that. I really hate it when that happens :x

It must have been frustrating not having anyone to talk to.

Perhaps she might not have been able to reply. You don't know what's going on in her life now.

Also, was there anything you needed her to do for you, other than just listen?

My brother does that all the time. It's really f*****g annoying. Though, with him, I'd say 90% of our conversations are about him. So I guess I should expect it.

They reappear when they have a problem, though. Rest assured :P
