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

[Crude]

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.

This!

It's a respect thing. No one is that damn busy where it taking them over 24 or even 12 hours or the next day to respond with a simple "ok" or "I'll get back with you when I'm free."

You will figure out quick how much of a priority you are even to certain family members.

You might not be able to respond to me in that moment, but it should not be days later either especially if I know you one of those people that keep a phone in their face a lot.

Shyt like that will make me fall back quick even on family members, because I'm always there for the people who matter to me. If you doing me like I'm not a priority and you don't have a lot of respect for me.

Nah cause I constantly burn one and forget people texted me
The fact that we texting means the convo isn’t serious anyway, if it’s important I’ll just call FaceTime you

OP..

I think it is rude for family to not text you back. I understand that everyone is living their life and doing their own thing, but if a relative reaches out, then obviously that person is thinking about you which is a great thing!

What is so hard with returning a text and/or phone call? IMO, people who don't text back or return calls don't get another text or call.

Now, let you hit the lottery and then your phone will be blowing up!! Smh..

As for friends, my expectations isn't as high because there are levels to friendships and most so called friendships are really associates or acquaintances that are glorified, so they may get a lil pass, but you may do the same to them.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I always respond to every text I receive, even if I don’t wanna talk to you I’ll at least entertain the texts for about 5 minutes before I end the conversation.
I’d rather you tell me straight up that you don’t wanna talk than to ignore me.

 

[colicolicoli]

No cause I’m the person not texting back

 

[ISO]

That shyt disrespectful imo

 

[KneeGrow.]

It doesn't bother me but I don't really understand it. Texting is a mode of communication. It doesn't take much or long to do it.

It’s a respect thing. I always always respond to every text. If you don’t respond to my texts especially if I’m asking you an important question then it tells me you don’t respect me and I would act accordingly. I won’t get all emotional, just cooly put that person in the same position they put me.

And then slowly wait for the day when they need something so texts me then hit them with the

I go ghost on people for months and lose communication a lot. Family raised/grew up with me so they know

But my close friends I've had to open up and let them know I'm prone to doing it. I'll text some of them even if I don't want to if/when I realize I literally have had no communication with them for 1-2 months.

 

[SnowflakesByTheOZ]

Why would they not text you back though ? I'm confused.

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Lol @ the "people have lives" response.

Muthafukkas be glued to their phones 24/7. Even at work unless your in the food and beverage industry.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

It’s annoying af. “People have lives” is such a shytty excuse. Don’t take but two seconds to text back and most of these people are looking at their phones multiple times an hour.

 

[Nymbus]

the old heads in my family always spamming the chat with their wack fb memes
other than that I always try to hit em back

See I don’t get this. Why should someone have automatic access to someone else? Even though I have my phone doesn’t mean I want to talk/text. It’s not Bc I don’t respect the person but I value my own agency. Before texting you would just have to wait until the person was by a phone or in person. Now somebody is trying to grab your attention 24/7. It’s tiring.

I respect your opinion; however, I don't even like long conversations on the phone via text or phone call. If I reach out I'm reaching out to check on you or I'm reaching out for a specific reason and trust me I'm very concise.

I don't need automatic access just reach out in a reasonable amount of time. A week later isnt reasonable.

People have whole families and secret lives on the side and you telling me you can't respond to me within the day. Nah I'm just not a priority you, and I understand that and I will fall back accordingly.
