Really, twice in one day?
The first, an invitation to hang out. It felt like less of an invite to me, and more of them inviting themselves to hangout with me.
I'm sorry, I texted back, I'm out of town. I might be back sooner, but I'm at the end of my socializing rope, so I won't be able to hang out then anyway.
Oh, they replied, that's ok. And I feel bad about this, but I didn't mean to text you that.
Oh... I mean, ok.
It's just that I knew you were out of town, and that you need time to recharge, so I wouldn't have asked you to hang out anyway.
I guess... it just feels like you didn't need to share that with me. I don't really know what to think, because there is so much missing in the tone and the hours that passed between messages. So I leave them on read.
The second, a random ass picture shortly followed by, NO, and, I did not mean to send you that. Which is nice, because I had no context for the picture to respond to anyway. It also stings a little in the wake of a retracted invite. Not you, the picture laughs at me, I don't want to socialize with you right now.
Lol, I reply. Yike.
