Bug-a who
I refuse to be a bug a boo. The idea of ever being one, makes my skin crawl. See, I treat others as I like to be treated and one thing I despised is being excessively bothered. I do not like people all in my face all the time, or constantly calling my cell non-stop. I enjoy my alone time, and at times, I just want to be left alone.
Since this is the way that I feel, I like to give others their space.
I do not like constantly calling, instant messaging, or texting someone. In my opinion, it can be annoying, because if I were in their shoes, I would find it annoying. So I'll call, maybe 2-3 times during the week. If I'm the only one making the call, and it kept ringing, then went to voicemail. I will cease calling, especially if I left a message. Clearly the phone indicates that there is a miss call and I left a message, meaning, if said person want to call me back...he will. When it comes to texting, I might text twice, if I don't receive a response, then its on the other person to hit me up. I live by the notion that everyone, like me, is busy and have a life or they want alone time. So I will not continue to pester someone. Especially with the advancements with technology, you can tell who contacted you,when, where, why, and how.
Instant messaging, operates a little different. If I instant message said person, and I am constantly starting a conversation and they constantly fall off the radar in the mist of the chat, I'm going to stop starting conversations. Hey, if they want to hit me up, they will.
I truly hate bugging people, because I hate being bugged. If I feel that I am constantly going out of my way, I will stop. This also applies in a relationship. Yea, I would love to talk to my boyfriend once a day, but only if he wants to talk to me. I'm not going to forced someone on the phone to live by a calling criteria. "You must call me once a day!" What kind of bs is that, if a person doesn't want to talk then they don't want to, I'm not going to force the situation. I definitely do not want to make someone converse with me, if they do not feel inclined to do so on their own.
However, if I feel that I am giving too much of myself to someone, I will withdraw. Aside from refusing to be a bug-a-boo, I refuse to invest my energy when the other isn't doing the same.
Love and happiness should reciprocate love and happiness.
