This is exactly why I keep the messages unread so that I don't forget to reply later, and eventually keep them unread for weeks making it useless to reply after so long, therefore giving up and not replying anyway

Does it cause you anxiety thinking about replying? Because that's what it's like for me

It gives me guilt every time I see the unread notification from weeks ago.

Yeah, that checks out. I think I need to get checked out for ADHD. Maybe I'll start the process tomorrow 🤣

Procrastinators unite!...Later! (I got diagnosed in my 30s, highly recommend)

I currently have 301 unread text messages (not even close to my high score). For me, the anxiety wore off and was replaced with a sense of defeated relief.

If I get bored, I can go through them without feeling any obligation to respond at all.

Wow, stop attacking me.
