Does it bother you when friends/fam dont text back?

[valet]

Not talking about potential gf/bf. Thats could be them.playing games.Im saying friends (opposite or same) or family. It bothers me sometimes. Its like i text you for a reason, respond back. An emoji. I personally wont be petty back. Because if i so, ill pribably permenantly cut you off.

is it really that deep?

 

[WaveWhisperer]

Not anymore. Used to trip alot about it till it hit me.

People got things to do. Inbetween all that,if they wanted to reply,then they would.

 

[HTXBreh]

Yes I go into a dark shadow zone .
Also when you texting a girl she goes ghost and tries to continue the conversation hrs or even days later

 

[Heafcliffe]

Not really. They have lives like I do so

 

[fckyoupayme]

Nah. People have lives. I hate feeling like I’m on someone’s beck and call. I’ll respond when I’m ready so I extend that understanding to others.

There's some conflicting logic in the fact that sometimes that kind of text communication is entirely high context, meaning someone is trying to communicate to you a level of interest, or disinterest, by their actions, and other times, it's entirely incidental, and moreso related to their specific personality traits, or other factors, rather than a gauge of their interest. Low context, meaning the unreturned text is just an unreturned text.

That's why hanging an entire relationship on texts, or using it as a bulwark is so emotionally fraught and essential for people. Like a high before the crash.

I text back and respond quickly, because it's the right thing to do, and it also makes the most sense communication wise, just strictly logically.

If you send someone a joke or an article, and they respond 4 days later or 4 hours, the timing and the context of the message is entirely changed in some cases.

one of owners at the company i used to work for was serious about that shyt. he would say even if you just respond with "k", respond.

at first i wondered what his problem was, but i kinda get it now. it's a respect thing. you see i fukkin texted you.

now if you're one of those people that are just always randomly texting bs, i can see people not responding. that said, not responding to family is kinda shytty to me. i'll always respond to my family, regardless of what i'm doing.

 

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

I don’t care if you respond late just as long as you respond. It’s a respect thing

Yes.

I stop texting people who delay responses and dump their numbers early. Especially women... It's not cute or mysterious.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

nope

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

I don't respond to the misses when she sends angry text. I don't respond to the weed man if he takes too long and I copped from elsewhere. These people know what it is and know not to expect replies from me under certain circumstances
