I just messaged someone after not getting back after 4 years :) . Online friend so not completely crazy to have not communicated.
I hate how relatable this comic is
Yeah same. I don’t have many friends and those I do I neglect. I don’t deserve them.
Just moved house, working 2 jobs, finding it hard to fit everything in
Your friends know you have an executive function disorder. They will still be happier to get a response eventually. There might be some gentle ribbing, but it’ll be intended to be taken in stride.
I didn’t know I was on the spectrum until I got diagnosed earlier this year; I’d made this comic well before then (/I’m just sharing my old comics in this community) but in hindsight there’s a few of them that make more sense to me now that I know.
Oh, this is OC?
aye. i don’t have a website, really. just a tumblr from when i was making comics for fun.
Hehe, yeah. Well, it’s not like there is a small amount of us. And that’s without including all the people that just don’t know yet. So, it still makes for popular comic material.
I’ve been thinking every so often that I need to reply to my friend’s text, because it’s been a while since he messaged me. Thinking it’d only been a few weeks, maybe a month tops.
He texted me last June.
…I am an irredeemable monster
For me is more like “when i have the time i will reply”
Two seconds later: “i believe i have already replied to it so it’s fine”
Next day looking at my phone:
I don’t think day 2 actually requires an apology, it’s pretty clear that yesterday was probably busy. The whole advantage of SMS is the messages can be chronologically separated, maybe I like to go through them in the mornings or something.
Day 3, sure I can see wanting to apologize there.
Oh thank you so much! That’s exactly what’s happening. I will save it for the next time I take forever to answer.
