Time to dust off the pulpit and start pontificating.
Why don’t people respond to friendly, well intentioned emails?!
It’s not as if you are acknowledging a letter from Africa requesting money, or a demand to view Hot Guys.
I answer every legitimate email.
In conversations with others, I have found that not responding is a common occurrence.
People are pissed off.
The beauty of emailing is that it takes less than 10 seconds on average to shoot off a retort.
I can email a fabulously positive blog review to a manager, owner, publicist and never hear back.
I recently wrote to a relative who lost their spouse just to see how they were doing and it went radio silent.
How rude of me.
I wrote to a celebrity relative to say that my mom had a photo that they would appreciate, deafening silence.
Disgusting.
A high school friend sought me out and wrote a touching note. I immediately responded…hello, is anyone home.
No one, unless you are General John Kelly who has to babysit our adolescent egotistical, maniacal leader 24/7, is that busy that thy cannot return a personal email.
2 fingers only needed to type.
1 finger to press send.
No need for pen and paper, envelop, stamp, saliva to lick the envelop, feet to find a mailbox.
It is so easy, fast, considerate and down right classy to just press REPLY and then SEND.

Yes!
People are not emotionally available
They do not know how to maturely reply and have healthy communication.
