OK. . I probably overreacted . .at least I didn't tell them to f*ck off!
A friend who I've been texting most days for over 6 months (we have met IRL)
has as got into a new relationship a few weeks ago, so has not been in touch so much. .
which is fine, and I understand and I haven't initiated contact. . I'm not a stalker . .
So, after nearly a week, I get a message "are you OK? I'm just off out to the cinema with X" . .
WTF?!! If you want to talk, talk. . .don't ask how I am, but don't offer time to talk . .
Well. . .never one to mince my words, I told them to talk to me when they wanted to and
not when they thought they ought. . .and that they'd upset me by starting a conversation
with a built in time limit and I felt that they weren't listening to me. .
That's all . . had to get it off my chest. . .this is probably why I have no friends.

Hi! I just wanted to say Hi but don't actually want you to answer because I'm busy having fun!
I would say your annoyance is somewhat justified!
Hopefully your friend will see that the message they sent was, while well intentioned, not fully thought through and liable to cause upset.
Hope also that you didn't slam the door too loudly and there's room for you to go back and say Hi!
Maybe best not to wait, say Hi now
Edit - forgot to mention - I've had a lot of practice at apologising for my overreactions... Edit Edit - that sounds like I'm saying you over reacted, I'm not, it was justified

That was a weird text! I read the same between the lines as you have. I think I'd've replied along the lines of 'Glad to know you are still alive, just so busy you never have time to talk."
