5 minutes- no problem whatever

10 minutes- still not having any issues, but noticing the lack of response

25 minutes- think they got distracted or wrapped up in something and will respond when they get a chance

40 minutes- getting worried that they are not going to respond to me. Begin checking their active status on social media.

1 hour - starting to show bigger stress responses that they haven't answered yet, but still think they will respond. Staying on my phone so I can be there if they respond.

2 hours - starting to think they aren't going to respond. Get off my phone and go do something else to distract me. Continue obsessively checking my phone every 20 minutes.

4 hours - deep, sinking feeling that they ignored my message, and are never going to respond. Confirm through social media that they have been on their phone, and have not responded.

6 hours - stop waiting. Accept that, without a doubt, they are not responding to me. Start to consider the reality of this, and what it means to me.

8 hours - begin to consider whether that person really cares about me, and if I want them in my life much longer. 

10 hours - begin to question whether I don't deserve a response from people, since I might just be annoying or too much for them. Contemplate whether I should make an effort to change my communication methods/reassess my commication needs or if I should be my unfiltered self. 

12 hours and beyond: start believing that I will never get the affirmation and communication I need because I'm broken, and no one will ever be able to put up with me. Catalog this experience as supporting evidence that I'll be alone forever.
