Recently something traumatic happened to me and a lot of people texted me to make sure I'm okay and offered to talk if I want to and stuff. As soon as I get a message, I just panic and close the notification and just kinda forget about it until a few days later until it's too late and I'm too ashamed to reply and obviously they think I'm being an asshole.

This isn't something new, but I just noticed how bad it is after this thing happened to me. Why do we do this?
