What do you think about me always leaving people on read?
Why do you leave them on read?
I'm afraid they're going to hurt my feelings
It is understandable that you don't want people to hurt your feelings but you shouldn't leave them on read. It will hurt their feelings if you don't respond quickly.
Don't care bout them
Leaving everyone on read will leave you lonely and without friends. People will believe you are unreliable if you do not respond in a timely manner.
