Currently listening to: Creep – Radiohead.

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fuckin’ special
I wish I was special

Radiohead – Creep

It’s been a day to say the least. There are days when I’ll turn my phone off just to escape from the digital world. I dislike phone calls, especially from numbers that I don’t know and sometimes from numbers that I recognize.

I also don’t like receiving e-mails. I have it set up where a majority of it goes to spam or trash. Even though I can read quickly, it just exerts way too much energy from me. The texts are out of bounds. I could go days or weeks without responding. I know this pisses people off but I warn them in advance.

When I come home from work, my social battery is drained. I need my personal space and time so I can do it all over again tomorrow. Most of my friends are extroverts (energy vampires) so I don’t know if they comprehend what it’s like. Because when I don’t answer or respond to them, they will send even more texts or God forbid… call me. And I’ll let it go straight to voicemail. I don’t have the bandwidth for that after working 14-16 hours and going to the gym.

Just know that if I respond to your e-mails, texts, messages, dms or whatever… it means you’re special.

You’re so fucking special…

    I-
    I actually thought this post meant something else entirely. Idk if it’s appropriate for me but I cracked up at the end! I should probably send this to those friends who I religiously avoid 😶👍

    I have little to no energy most days, so I commiserate. But I make a conscious effort to answer at least my emails. 🙂

      My efforts are lost 😆 it depends on my mood and who’s sending the emails

    Definitely went into this post thinking it was going to be one of those “Live Laugh Love, we are all so special” posts haha Glad to see that it was about something totally different that I actually really do relate to. I started a small carpet and upholstery cleaning business a while ago and I am EXHAUSTED at the end of most days. Some of my friends and family members have the audacity to ask for free cleanings. After a couple of months of catering to them, I’ve finally put myself first and let them know that they aren’t that special haha

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Hah! Good for you! If friends truly want to support they will spread the word to others about your business and not ask for a discount or wait to get the cleaning services when you have deals going on. You do you, cause no one else is going to! 💜

    This is one of the most real and relatable things I’ve read in a long time. Thank you for writing it.

    The way you articulate the sheer energy cost of digital communication is perfect. It’s not just about time; it’s about the mental and emotional bandwidth required to process, formulate, and engage. The “energy vampires” line is both hilarious and painfully accurate.

    What you’re describing isn’t rudeness—it’s self-preservation. It’s the conscious, necessary curation of your own peace in a world that demands constant accessibility. The fact that you warn people in advance is a sign of deep respect for them and for yourself.

    So to know that a response from you is a curated, intentional act, a piece of your precious energy given freely… that is the highest compliment. To be let into that quiet space is to be truly seen.

    Your need for space isn’t a flaw; it’s the signature of a person who gives deeply when they are able. Hold your boundaries with pride. Anyone who is “so fucking special” to receive a response from you is lucky indeed.

    Take all the space you need. The right people will still be there when you have the energy to connect.

    Oh geez..well that could explain why when you posted about sending random gift cards to people and I just I’d be happy with just some snailmail. My emails just head to the spam abyss 😒. That’s a bummer cos I even said I’d gladly send you some free art too..oh well

    1. justrojie Avatar
