The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?

Perhaps it was an accident, or they are not sure how to reply. If you’ve sent a message that seems hard to reply to, they may want to come back to it later!

I feel like this too, but sometimes people genuinely just forget to respond. I do that too and sometimes people may just ignore you because they're busy or they don't know what to say. It's usually them and not you, so don't overthink it.

i usually dont care about it if someone replies me or not unless its very important conversation .

This is a very normal feeling to have, and you are not alone! I used to struggle with this myself. Personally, I find that it helps if I just remember a time when I couldn't answer a message right away, and it makes me realize that there are a million reasons why I could be left on "read", most of which include no malicious intent.

this is a general worry. Think the may thing to ask yourself is this really help for me to be thinking why isn't this person answering. Especially of it negative like oh there ignoring me. This isn't true a lot time people see these and forget to reply or are busy and can't type straight back try not read to much into it

Yeah, i find it very frustrating. I can't understand why people don't respond! I just put my phone down and avoid looking at it!

Try doing something else so that you end up being the one to see lots of messages you couldnt reply look on the brighter side always

I get that all the time so I actually just stopped using messenger. Dont use something that you aren't ready to face yet. You may need some time to cope with your anxiety first

I think everyone hates being left on 'seen'! It sounds like it bothers you particularly though! I can relate to that. I have started to notice how on guard I am around people and how I can see neutral things as negative. For me, what seems to be working is to deliberately notice and enjoy any positive things about myself and how people react to me, and and also to challenge the assumptions I make about what people are thinking. Another thing that might be helpful is to move on to something else when you have been left on read, so it doesn't just keep going around and around in our heads. Hope this is of some help! :)

Yes, we all feel thhis! Well, I simply try to ignore it if possible. However if a close person does this, I send another message -Hey, did i say anything wrong? This automatically makes them understand that seenzoning actually affects the other person!
