Direct messaging frustration # fibromyalgia #Asthma #Arthritis migraine
I get periodic requests to message someone. They usually only say hello. I don’t know if I want to be friends yet. I know nothing about these people or how they decided to contact me. It would be really helpful if those members would tell me something about themselves for example “I’ve seen some of your posts and see you have fibromyalgia. I also fight with this” or anything that would help me know you. Some of these people want to call me dear or beautiful before I have heard anything about them, or they want to switch to Snapchat right away. Let me get to know you a bit and figure out if I want further conversations. In addition, if you never answer my questions but you sure want to know a lot about me, that’s a huge red flag. For those who want a friend, let me know that. For those who think I may have advice or could be a shoulder to cry on, tell me what you’re looking for. I’m not a mind reader.
