[quote=Anonymous]“ People are crazy busy to the point of feeling overwhelmed these days. That's great you have all of this time on your hands. Many don't, or just can't figure it out in the narrow timeline you seem to require. Just let it go and move on.”

OP here. I use to buy into the “too busy to respond” b.s., but I’ve decided it’s just a bad excuse for bad behavior. If you’re truly too busy to either respond or do anything, then I think you need to use your words and actually say that.  At least then I’ll know to place you on the “invite only when I don’t care about whether you respond or attend “ list.

I’ve also decided that the “I lose track of messages if they are sent by text” excuse is b.s. If you’re only capable of responding to certain methods of communication and not others, then it’s your responsibility to explain that. Or not provide the contact information that seems to be too difficult for you to handle.

And no, I don’t bombard people with texts or do something inappropriate if the answer is no. And I don’t believe that my third example actually required responses from everyone - just would have been nice so I can better assess whether to extend other invites.  [/quote]
