Texting
All my friends always get mad at me because I take too long to respond to their text messages. They think it is because I am simply being lazy, do not care about the text they had sent me, or just type really slow. They are way off! I have always preferred texting to verbal cellular communication for one reason, I can really think about writing the most clever and smartest response. Sometimes while talking on the phone I say something stupid but with texting I have as much time as I need to think about what I want to say. If I am not sure about what I am going to respond I will sit on it, sometimes for hours, until I know exactly what I want to write. You might see this as a lack of respect for the initial texter but it is actually far from it. I just want to make the person on the other side smile a little bit and for them to fully understand what I am trying to get across.To me receiving a smart, funny, and complete text is way cooler than getting a boring and stupid one, just don’t get mad at me if it takes all day to write it.

Yup! i get that a lot too! They think i'm next to my phone 24/7.
ReplyDeletemy friends always get mad at me for taking so long to txt back.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting. I guess I never really thought about it like that. I used to get so mad at my husband for responding late to my text. Maybe you guys are on the same page. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way. It bothers me when people ask me something via text like "what am I doing" and if I ask the same thing...they say "nothing". What's the point of texting me if you started the convo and have nothing to say. I just take my time with it. I figure if it was important enough they'd call me.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason people think that a text equal instant response. Im not good with acronyms so I have to spell out my whole word unlike most "Texters". I also take way to long texting back but thats because I'm really trying to get my point across. I guess you can say paint the picture.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about texting in the way that you described it. Makes sense.
ReplyDeleteSame here, sometimes my friends will even call me and ask why I havent replied.
