“Is anyone there?” by Henry Alford
This article touches upon something we all go through,feeling like we’re being ignored. Alford does a spectacular job collecting examples people who have gone through unreplied emails. Because of this, we bare the increasing doubt if the email sent through. This goes on when people send text messages too but we never want to sound desperate asking the receiver if he actually did receive the text. “What if he does not want to talk to me?” or “Am I bothering her?” goes through our minds. This all seems to look as if everyone replied to all their emails and messages, the problem of feeling neglected in the viral world would come to an end. If we assume this to be correct, those who don’t respond are blame but who can blame them if they receive 2oo+ emails daily. There is not enough time in the world to reply to each one. I guess we just have to suck it up and stop whining. 🙂
