My red flag is that if you don't talk to me, I won't talk to you either. But not because I don't want to talk to you, but because I think if you don't want to talk to me, I should give you space so I don't bother you
Neurodivergents texting back (unfiltered):
"Hey! So sorry I didn't text you back for nearly a week (again), my nervous system wouldn't let me open your text until I knew I had time to devote to answering you thoughtfully and thoroughly! But I promise I *thought* about texting you, saw the unopened text, and felt guilty every hour of every day until I finally forced myself...even though now none of this is thoughtful like I planned because it's all an apology instead! Anyways, how are you??"
We are all made of the same fabric as the stars and if they’re romantic and whimsical we should also be romantic and whimsical. Because the universe said so.
