Attention deficiency is a rampant millennial disorder. The symptoms include multiple mood swings, perhaps some anxiety, as well as anger. Haven’t you ever crushed hard on someone but been left on ‘read’? Guess that’s just us. However, we are well aware that any girl reading this right now is going to be slyly forwarding memes to her best friends in 3… 2… 1…
In the pre-relationship phase, this situation can be a real anxiety-inducer. You’re sitting wondering why someone hasn’t come online for 45 minutes. Don’t even the best of us have to open their phone at least once in that much time? From booking a cab to checking the time, our phones are there to save our backs. So, then, how has this individual got away with it? Your fearful brain is going to start working on overdrive once this thought manifests. Why? Because homegirl is out here thinking of all the hoes bae is replying to instead. Even if he is genuinely (perhaps) stuck in an office meeting. We’ve all frantically sent 332 messages at a stretch because enough is enough, hai na? Queens deserve attention, there’s no two ways about it.
The following list of memes flesh out, pictorially, just how much we despise this situation. They will let bae know just how much attention we need. Till we are a 100% satisfied, we ain’t done! If you can relate, prepare to double-tap away to glory by the end of this article.
1. Miserable fo’ lyf
2. When bae is genuinely busy but you cannot digest the fact that you’re not the no. 1 priority at all times.
3. He better reply so I can ignore him in peace.
4. How painful is it to be direct? Your DMs have been!
5. The attention needs to be constant or we don’t need it
6. Well, will you just look at the audacity?
7. When he replies after 2.3 minutes instead of the usual 23 seconds.
8. The real catch-22!
9. The realest…
10. Why does our minds always go there? Goddamnit!
11. *Checks the ‘following’ notifications to see if he’s liked any post in the timeframe of being AWOL*
12. How much time is too much time? Asking for a friend.
13. When he replies but you’re mood is already eff-ed.
14. Once in a while, you need to change tactics to make them understand.
15. Guess we all know the reason now!
