I'm slack when it comes to answering pm's - I feel bad about it, but I haven't been able to "fix" it.
Whether it's pm's or emails, I read them, and I'm often touched by them, but then I don't just wanna slap back a quick "PR" type reply, so I leave it, thinking I'll reply when I have free attention to do so, or can put the words together to show how I feel - But then time goes by, it's too late, and it doesn't happen.
I can "post" stuff ok, 'cause that's not so personal, but I've never really been in to 'letters' so to speak, and I have always found it hard to communicate what I really feel 'in writing', so I tend to put it off - I'd rather talk, or meet in real life.
This is causing 'problems' for me, in that some have thought that I don't care for or appreciate their comm, because I haven't responded - Eeek!
The thing is, if I took the time to respond as I would want to (with the 'mindset' required for me to do so), it'd take so much time that I tend not to even go there - then I'm in the poo, with myself as well as with some of you.
My dilemma is this - I often feel that I can't just flick back a quick response; when your communication has meant something to me; when I want you to know that; and when I have something in my mind which I would like to convey - but then I often don't get the the time nor the mindset to send the response that I'd want to, and then because of the absence of response, the wrong idea is given at the other end.
If I responded to every written communication I received (the way I wanted to, but then being limited to doing so 'in writing'), it would not allow me time for anything else in life - so I tend not to (or that's what I tell myself ).
Crikey! Does anyone else have this problem, and do any of you understand this? - Or am I just a bloody slack bitch? (probably am! )
