I am very busy! Tired and keep going working -raising my granddaughter and I work 50 hrs a week sometimes more! My granddaughter needs me my family needs me and they can call anytime they wish- No burden to others just keeping it real

Thank you!i was wondering who will say this as it is!and again when you are busy during the day when you get home you check on your phone,nobody here can tell me he/she doesn’t check his/her messages or phone before going to bed and before getting up!so busy for what?like really let’s stop making lame excuses and using the word busy unnecessarily!

half the problem is that with social media and instant smartphone communication, we have all become way too needy and egocentric.” that was really funny – why haven’t I seen a like and a lol three seconds later? ” etc. Sometimes you just have to accept that not being at the very top of someone’s pecking order, doesn’t mean they hate you.

I agree to a point
Some people want to be around other people but suffer an unpredictable disease or depression or abuse and in and on and on……
Be kind when people cancel or resist making plans….. They may have a struggle they don’t want to or are embarrassed to share

I can care and love but I also have to work and provide in many areas. So if I am spread thin, they should know that I am showing my love in other ways. I may not have 30 min to sit down and talk about the day when I really need 5 hours of sleep lol

This seems to be a little influenced by someone who wasn’t getting enough attention. Sometimes things get busy, sometimes people need a break from people. Me and my friends both understand this. Expecting people to stop what they’re doing just to get back to your text is self centered. Be humble, we can’t always get what we want when we want it.

True story! This person had texted me first and was all excited in meeting me. He set up a date and then when the day came, he texted me back and said his mom the night before became ill and he couldn’t make it and we’d have to plan for another time. Days and weeks went by and he told me that his moms health scare set him back and a new grand baby was being born. Between all that and his work schedule, he was too busy for now but IF life slows down, he would contact me. What… Read more »

Not always true. If you have daughters, son-in-laws, grandchildren (that you babysit a lot) a full time job, siblings you’re close to, a widowed Mom who has only you in town and other responsibilities, sometimes you have to lay the phone aside and spend time with your husband. My sister is my closest friend and lives in another state and I sometimes go weeks without talking to her, not because I want to, but I truly am exhaustingly busy.

100% correct…if they wanted to talk to you…they would simple. If they say they love you….and go for hours without a word…you know they are talking to someone they should not be. Some must think they are gods gift to othesr. maybe someday these immature assholes will grow up and realize that the most important one…is the one right in front of them. The one that was always there when no one else was. Too make immature fakes. liars and cheats.

This is the damn truth!! I know cause hell I work easy 90+hrs a wk and shit I still find moments and time to say hi and show that I care to those special to me…

Must say I’m disappointed in this post. I usually love the things posted by this page. But this is poison to an injured soul. Tisk tisk… Life is always busy. Rewind 10-15 years and I might have had a different opinion.

Even if you are busy it takes like 1 minute or even at max 5 to tell someone that you dont have the time to talk right away but that you will make time for someone later. Because sometime you will get that busy that you will probably not have time to talk regulary and people understand that but it means so much when just 1 message says that you think about them, miss them and too much is happening right now but they will make time for you. Thats the real key about it really, to communicate and understand… Read more »

Especially if you so called “talking” to someone, and they tell you communication is key and the MF doesn’t even reply back… my mother told me that he’s telling me just what I want to hear… another fucked up situation.

Someone.really can’t read the situation… When someone refuses to talk to you just because they’re busy, that means you annoy them :/… They’re just polite, what’s wrong about it? They don’t lie, what they’are saying are: i’m too.busy with people I wanna make time for. You should learn to read the situation so you don’t get hurt, that’s society!!!

These always irritate me. I have kids, a job, a fiance, trying to start a side business, about to start school but sure, yeah, let me make sure I make time for you so we can go shopping! Not. That few hours of “free” time in my life is when I sleep, which I’ve heard is a requirement. I’m that friend who always trues to be there if & when I’m needed but there are certain things/people who are a priority.

Even my husband texts me hello are you there. Honestly I’m that busy. If you are super needy I’m the worst friend. I am so independent and do best with friends who aren’t easily offended if I don’t get back to them right away. I may be busy but I think about those I care about and say little prayers for them. It’s hard to keep up.

Completely not true, I work so much I barely have time to sneeze let alone fit in time with all of my friends, but I’m lucky, they understand that and they are also busy with their work and families, so we catch up when we can and make sure it’s quality time

Exactly. You can have the busiest life known to man but we all have to take bathroom breaks at some point, correct? And what’s the first thing we usually do in the bathroom, especially when we have to poop? LOOK AT OUR PHONES! If he or she truly wants to talk to you, they’ll reply within a few hours, regardless of what’s going on.

I like to see people eyes to eyes. I will find time for that. Texting is a waste of quality time. Emoji are not real emotions. LOL is not that funny. Please lets go back to a time when looking at someone’s eyes, you could see if they were happy to be with you. (or not) Fuck texting. 😉

I some what disagree. I used to be the most diligent person with keeping up with people… Then I suffered a lot of physical illness & that part of me also suffered. I am useless at keeping up with people (& it makes me feel bad/guilty) – not because I choose to be, or don’t want to make time for people. So, don’t assume this photo applies to everyone. Reality is, life can be chaotic to even keep up with your own self!

So agrea with that , to busy to do anything with me , but not to busy for others , I get that a lot , end of the day I know we’re I stand n it’s not a big deal ,there’s more fish in the sea to find more no point of crying over with xx

Well you can only throw out a text here and there at work. Depends how strict your boss is. Or how busy you are on the phones. And then if your job stresses you out, you need alone time at the gym or watching tv to unwind. People forget that ppl have jobs, kids and families. Just because we have more access to talk to people, doesn’t mean we should be glued to our phones.

Exactly ?
I can be the busiest person and still make time …. So when I hear this… It’s an excuse!!
Own up and just be honest that you don’t give a shit about the person that you keep giving excuses to. Spare yourself and the other.. Quit wasting time!!!

It’s not that definite. I have so much to do that I hardly reply to the people who are at the top of my list. I can’t even talk to my #1 person. People can really have other things that keep them from being around you or talking to you even if they want to more than anything.
