#brought to you by the latest member of my dnd party apparently dropping out by just not returning any of the last three texts I sent her

[three--rings]

Okay so for the past few months I've been trying to corral some Gen Z-ers into a dnd game and I have some NOTES.

Dear Gen Z (or anyone who needs to hear this),

I know communication can be scary. I have an anxiety disorder. I've had to have my husband open an email for me because I physically could not make myself do it.

But PLEASE. Ghosting is not the answer. If someone is sending you a sincere message, the most rude possible response is no response.

I can't imagine any kind of answer that would annoy me more than being totally ignored.

I even had someone not reply to two of my texts, and then tell my husband in person the answer was "no" but they didn't want to piss me off so they didn't reply.

Do you know how much less annoyed I'd have been by a simple "hey thanks but no thanks" than being straight up ghosted?

You are going to continue to need to talk to people your whole life and those people's opinion of you is going to be based on how you respect their time. If I need an answer from you and it takes 5 days and multiple messages, you're not respecting me or my time and it looks bad for you.

Just a Life Tip.
