Like the young people say nowadays ‘it’s just not clocking with me’. Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate receiving a warm, friendly meme, positive text message or Facebook post as much as the next person.
I realize most of these are sent with sincere, thoughtful intentions. What I don’t understand is why it’s necessary to send 2, 3, 4 or more memes or reels at one time or a meme or text EVERY DAY of the week. I would expect that from a loved one, close family member, husband or boyfriend. But it strikes me weird getting constant multiple memes from an acquaintance or casual friend. Frankly, if you’re a good friend of mine, I’d appreciate it ten times more if you ‘liked’ my YouTube videos and helped me make some money.
This is tough for me because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings and I honestly don’t know how to talk to people about it. When I receive a daily meme like clockwork, it gives me of sense of obligation or doing something ‘by rote’… or I’m just gonna send this to ALL my friends on the list. It doesn’t make me feel very special at all. I would rather receive a written message from you every now and then letting me know you’re thinking about me. I don’t want to see a ‘funny’ reel of some guy getting attacked by a bear. …What do I care?
