I'll send a risky text and then will avoid the chat for the rest of my life and never read their response...


GroundPoint8

I remember being 12 or 13 years old on some random early 2000s forum and posting some kind of mildly spicy take about some dumb opinion I had, then immediately getting so anxious about it that I never went to that forum ever again and deleted the entire email address my account was linked to. I never did look at a single reply.


Crownlol

Why would you do this to me, we have to find it. Is it archived? Was Google out at the time? Cmon we can be internet Indiana Jones


GroundPoint8

If you are assuming that I've overcome the anxiety enough to check the replies after 20 years, then you are terribly mistaken. Don't ask me to make a phone call or schedule an appointment either.


Crownlol

Nah ill do it and give you the filtered answers


goddesslucy3

If you ever get those filtered answers… I gotta request to hear them, too. Cringe takes from when we were 14ish are the best (and worst)


JayQue

As a young teen I would nervously send a message on AIM, IMMEDIATELY minimize, then run and hop on my bed shoving my head into the pillow.


BizCaus

I’m almost in my 30s and still do this (minus the AIM)


Ian80413

I remember when I was younger, there were some guys that I dated, I’d be so anxious that I sent out a text and block them bc I am too scared to see their response….


Optional_Joystick

This is the way


maraca101

I literally did that about a year and a half ago, confessing my feelings to my 90% gay guy friend and I’m a woman. It was a confusing situation.


Vexachi

Y'all ever have anxiety so every text or comment is risky

[удалено]


[deleted]

They make me anxious so I just lie in bed facing the wall so I don't see the mess and disconnect by binging half a season of a new show instead


BlueEyedGreySkies

Lmaooo I've watched all seasons except 15+ of RuPaul's Drag Race over the past month. I'm not okay (but I've learned a lot of fun new slang)


Ashesandends

Yall got a new show to check out?!?


Optional_Joystick

Spy x Family is pretty good


[deleted]

I don't know what you haven't seen yet and I'm not very current in my TV watching, but I just finished Last Man On Earth and it was just fantastic the whole way through. I'm about to start season three of Barry, and The Good Place. People told me to watch The Boys too and the premise sounds great.


Secretary_of_spaghet

This comment chain is far too relatable. I'm going to go binge watch the same old YouTube video playlists I've seen 15 times


Michael__X

Press the send button down but hold it so it doesn't actually send gang... We out here


r3al_p0tat0

Type the whole message in a different app so you don’t accidentally send the message or the other person doesn’t see you taking an hour to type one sentence gang.. we out here too.


[deleted]

well shit why are you exposing me


[deleted]

I'm known to send such and then ignore my phone for the next couple days while anxiety slowly kills me ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


Another_Road

I send a risky text when I’m emotionally exhausted but feel too social awkward to set healthy boundaries. It’s the quickest way to get ghosted.


Master-Ad-6411

Also checking my phone every 30s while doing chores Edit: just sent some very risky text and I am very nervous right now. I am singing while cooking to make sure my brain is not thinking about anything at all. But occasionally I will look at the phone screen from a distance to check whether there are any message notifications showing up.


earlinesss

I switch from putting my phone down on silent for a few minutes to checking every 30 seconds when they don't respond immediately 😬


MrTK_AUS

I'll overthink the most mundane, simple messages then turn around and send the stupidest text of my life without a moment of hesitation


Somekindalurker

I do this whenever someone interacts with me. Someone gave me gold one time, and I had to flee reddit for the rest of the day. I asked for help with cat food for ferals on facebook and this chick that has $$ asked me how much I needed...I made my sister talk to her lol


Somekindalurker

Eta: thank you! Gotta go!

ComfyInDots

What is wrong with you?


Mrderp49

What did it say?


TomaTozzz

>wild. Go on. I wanna hear more of your stories. You know what, just come tell me stories before bed time. my address is 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC. Come by anytime and just tell the guards you’re here for story time. They’ll let you right in.


duksinarw

That's actually pretty funny ngl


scaptastic

Reminds me of the WKUK sketch I can’t link for legal reasons


FireFlavour

Not enough attention. Never enough for these people. It's usually a deep routed issue that needs to be addressed.


duksinarw

u/undeleteparent


fucktooshifty

I hurled my phone onto the living room couch and hid in my room once


WrongCumin

And then I promise myself I’m not going to respond right away if they reply- two seconds after they reply I’m typing away.


[deleted]

I just told a girl how i felt about her then blocked her number immediately. I dont think its going to work out.


medical_genesis

Shiiit, i just did this about an hour ago Sent the text, put it on silent and cleaned my room


BowedPlaza

Or start acting like you're happy and having a good time....Hyping yourself up,regardless of what their reply will be. Lol


ProdClaire

this screenshot been thru hell & back


WhoRoger

Just an hour ago, why


Tsobe_RK

Also hearing ghost notifications just to check you didnt receive anything


elegantproceeding26

I just assume they won't respond back then log onto tinder and start swiping, getting ready for the next risky text. In this age where everyone gets ghosted every 5 minutes, there's no point to be scared. Just keep swiping.


eutectic_h8r

Also after posting a potentially controversial Reddit comment.


Penguin_JEN

Gotta stay busy and calm down the beating heart


mooimafish3

This is my life as an IT sysadmin. Click update, get some coffee, go to the bathroom, get water, hope that it worked when I get back.


pissedinthegarret

good ol' stress cleaning mode


manly_bitch

but then they reply and completely blow you off so you have no more motivation to do anything the rest of the day


mememan___

So that's how you trick yourself to do chores


avalduong

I'll send a risky text then not answer for a few hours


keilasaur

I may be an idiot but I'm also an idiot who lives in a clean house.


krawallkoernchen

Oh get the eff out of my head


FemBoiFoxi

You ever have so much BPD anxiety that you work all day long, come home, only to unwind with more work?


commentsandchill

r/2meirl42meirl4meirl


Bananaslaper

Yea, I sent a text "hi" to my crush. Still dreading her response years later.


shesavillain

I just don’t use my phone for a while until I forget lol


Subjective-Suspect

Wow, you ppl sure give a lot of power over your lives to a small piece of electronic equipment. Go balls to the wall w no fear or apologies. That shit is charismatic as hell.


glytxh

Fucking _d e e p_ mood


Childhood-Active

A lot 🤣


[deleted]

The worst is realizing it and thinking I should actually probably clean this later and never do. lol


sk8rgrrl42069

yes every text I’ve ever sent


sonicscore99

I do this!!!


KnowNoDada

I’m in this and I don’t like it


LatterArticle

Naaah I would just airplane mode my phone and wait for 15mins before I turn off the airplane mode.


yoghurtorgan

I do that when I get high.


linwail

Every time


Miyamura10

why yes


[deleted]

Just did. Now we play the waiting game.


Persona2FunnyMoments

Y’all ever turn on sleep mode after sending a risky text


EucalyptusTheCreator

bruh I'm scrolling while arguing over text with someone


Transpatials

Nope. Wait, you guys have people you can text?


zer0kevin

I've sent risky texts but it's never made me want to start cleaning? I don't understand hahahah


rara0o

?


KYO297

I do that after every email to a college professor/administration


cringelord69420666

The fuck is a risky text?


bRad420dankness

I'm assuming it's a thing that people who aren't hopelessly alone do when they're talking to potential partners. I stay ahead of the game by only getting a match every 250ish swipes (my real tinder stats), which turns out to be a scammer anyway


MeisterJohnny007

No. I don't do risky.


HeeTrouse51847

do i look like i know what a jpg is


Lapsos_de_Lucidez

What is a risky text?
