How do you respond to text messages?

[2manyFCKNrappers]

I realized the way I respond to texts or any kind of messages, even a missed call would be considered rude. I don't respond unless I have something important to say. That could be for anyone. Over time, the idea of having a cell phone and all these mediums where people can contact you whenever they want AND expect an immediate response has become irritating. People have too much access to you and expect way too much.

Most messages I'll ignore for a good while until 100% ready to respond. All that "wyd", "what's good", "what you up to" shyt is not for me.

dont answer unless its worthwhile, bytch if you going to text me just to say whats up, you can call me for that, i'm not going to type out 1 word answers

I generally respond to everything.
And I prefer people respond to my messages, even if it's a simple answer. Or if they tell me to F-off or that what I said wasn't funny. It's better than being ignored.
But people are busy. Sometimes they're in a meeting or driving or just working and they might open and see your text but choose to respond later with a more thorough response than your typical short answer.
So it's best not to take certain things to heart.
After a while though, you kinda know what to expect from certain people so I don't get worked up over it.

THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL REASON FOR TEXTING. TO SEND SHORT MESSAGES TO PEOPLE WHEN A PHONE CALL WASN'T NEEDED. IF YOU'RE TYPING OUT WHOLE SENTENCES AND HAVING A FULL CONVERSATION YOU NEED TO PICK UP THE PHONE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE A FULL CONVERSATION THROUGH TEXT.

I TEXT WHEN I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION THAT HAS A QUICK ANSWER.

"HEY, DO YOU WORK TOMORROW?"
"WHY"

AT THAT POINT THIS IS NOW A CONVERSATION AND I WILL PROBABLY CALL YOU.

Lost is the art of verbal communication. One of the ways I was able to pull my girl was the fact that I called to speak to her and engaged her in conversation in person or via phone which was something nikkas her age never did, they prefer texting (nothing wrong with texting)

 

[Chill]

Can't stand talking on the phone. I like to multitask. I also can't stand the voice quality of calls. If I'm going to talk it will be in person.

 

[mtu wa chuma]

Dont even remember the last time I made a phone call. Its pretty much texts all the time

 

[Da Jungles]

Some people I call some people I text.

Some get both

Same here.

Im one of those people if we're texting about nothing important and you call me I might not answer. I'll continue texting or wont respond like nothing happened

I'd rather text than talk. I think it is rude to not respond...unless the person is crazy or saying crazy things. If someone says hey/hi, I say "What's up?" as to say, "Why are you texting me, explain in detail and not one word answers. If it's nothing, again, why are you texting me?"
