Do you feel claustrophobic from constant messaging today?

Curiosity if others have the same feelings. As sometimes I feel like the constant expectation of having to reply to people right away, can feel suffocating at times.
I do reply but in my own time. I am a person governed by emotions and have always been so. I just would like some space for personal reconciliation before I respond.
I try to be thoughtful myself as to not burden another person with my immediate thoughts. Immediate thoughts aren't always good ones as they rely on emotion and require further thought before talking.

I'm an extrovert, people who know me, know that if they want an immediate response from me that they need to call me, otherwise it'll take me a few days, maybe even a couple of weeks or months to for me to respond.
My Partner is an Introvert and they can do the whole consistent messaging thing.
I have "show read" turned on because if I've left you on read then that was my response i.e. your message has been recieved - no further input required. Whereas my Partner has it turned off because they prefer to respond to every message.

I'm not sure how true that last part is to all extroverts. But it's certainly true for ENTJs.

Yeah, I don’t have the mental energy to be in constant conversation and I don’t think it’s healthy.
However when I’m waiting for someone to reply to me, and they haven’t responded for hours/even days, but are active on their stories that kinda pisses me off

That pisses me off too. Especially if you see them in person. Just give me the decency or I will ask or big you about it eventually. Even though I know what the answer is going to be.

It happened recently where I’ve been trying to organise a meet up with friends and we all finally managed to agree a date, but we’re just waiting on one last friend to confirm before we book. Shock horror we’re still waiting, but he’s active on his Instagram stories and stuff. It’s just kinda rude.
