Really wish I could turn them off. I have two people immediately come to mind where if they see I read it they will guilt me for not responding immediately.
One of them now also lurks at my online status on steam. I can be playing a role playing game or anything and they won’t care, in their mind I’m free to hang out right then.
Set yo boundaries yo! I agree with what others are saying here. Turn them off! No one needs to know if you’ve read jack. And if I had someone skulking online status and expected me to be available based on that, I’d nip that in the bud quick. I’m available when I respond and say I’m available. Otherwise, tough luck.
You are the only one in control of your availability. Let others know.

That’s what telling people to go fuck themselves is for.
You decide when you message. Not them.
