Pffffft.
I’m at odds with my email - or, rather, the people on the other end of my email - lately. I’ve had at least three emails from people in my past over the last few weeks - all people I’ve liked very much - and each one has asked me to do something. And I’ve emailed back all enthusiasm and, in some cases, helpfulness, and I’ve heard back…nothing.
I know I’m just whining, and I know that people just get busy. It’s really only that it seems to keep happening, and I’m starting to feel like my role in life is to validate other people. I’ve got a lot going on myself, and I’m pretty socially isolated to boot, but I manage to find the time to get in touch when people contact me - is it so, so hard to acknowledge it?
Maybe I’m just venting because our landlord is being similarly coy about doing anything about the dryer. He did email back after my first one to ask if I regularly checked the vent and filter (I’m at least 10 years older than this guy, and a neat freak to boot. Yes, sweetheart, I checked the vent and filter). Since then…nothing.
I’m really starting to think it’s just my repellent personality. I know, I know - making things all about me is the height of narcissism, and god knows I’m completely self-involved lately. It’s just frustrating, and probably feels more like a slap in the face because email, these days, is my primary means of extra-household social interaction. Sad though that sounds.
Bah. Pfffffft.
