I too feel that someone saying they are busy too often without replying means that you aren't important enough to them for them to bother replying. Yeah I understand life is busy but at some point in the day, you will be doing nothing and that is when you could at least reply. Saying that you see it and then forget to reply (within days) and not to take it personally is an attempt to justify ignoring someone and no one likes to be ignored. Just try to think how the messenger feels with that.
That said, I also agree that it is bad to rely on people replying too much as that makes it look like you have nothing to do for yourself and can't function without people speaking to you. I admit that this was an issue for me and since I have musicianship to practice, I've been trying to focus more on that than bringing up Skype windows every 10 minutes looking for messages.
I agree with prty much everything u said, thanks fro your comment :) However I do not rely on people because I have nothing else to do. There are certain people who mean something to me and when they don't reply it hurts my self esteem. I would have hoped that I was worth a few seconds of a flick of a txt.
Thanks for agreeing, and its cool about that last part. That was more of an issue for me because I felt like I was paying too much attention to others and not doing enough for myself. It was getting me stressed while I could have been putting my time into something not stressful.
Is it normal to feel rejected when people don't reply ?
