As I wandered through the inevitability of life, I trusted in destiny to find what I had lost. The quiet silence of winter became darker day after day; time had left an invisible, yet painful mark.

But then you arrived in my world, like the first flower that blooms at the touch of spring. You healed what I believed was wounded.

You are that unanswered question which inspires such fascination. Curiosity is beautiful, isn't it? Your light only shines upon me when the melody of your voice meets the melancholy in mine. The glitter in your eyes sparkles like the golden sun in its endless nights, and your smile is brighter than summer

The minutes I spend at your side are limited, and I would give the world for you to stay. I want to dance with you forever; I just wish this beautiful music never would fade Time does not wait, but my memories will endlessly remain filled with your precious face You already belong to a magnificent horizon to which you must return.

Thus, this message is a bottle cast into the sea, holding the final look I dare turning toward... you.

I noticed more and more friends and acquaintances are disabling the blue ticks.

I feel like these people have honesty issues with themselves rather than a so called privacy. To me, it's a coward move to deactivate the blue ticks. Because you're not brave to handle the fact that you want to deny someone's messages or that someone's denying yours.

Some people might say it's to avoid their boss noticing the message has been read. So you're not mature enough to tell him/her/them the day after "I've read it but it was a job-related message outside of my working hours"? There's literally no pressure to reply. It just feels like turning off blue ticks is to avoid accountability and confrontation. I think if you are 22yo or below it's fine to be unsure about those things, but "grown ahh adult" btw shouldn't be doing this. Or am I missing something.

As a blue ticks user, I prefer to know that you read the message rather than wondering if you got the information or not. I simply don't care about you replying. And I don't care if people see that I've read some messages without replying.

I am trying to understand the psychology of my friends who are doing this. Most of them have had clear signs of/diagnosed depression, anxiety, fear of being alone, toxic personality/narcissist behavior, too many guys hitting on her, disorganized behavior.

In my case I don't have any drama in my life, I am socially ~75% fearless, I am friendly, my boss doesn't have my phone number. I mostly video call my family/relatives unless I share a picture.

1. What's your opinion on those people?

2. If you are those people, what's your reasoning? Are you anxious, in fear or is there something else?
