#texting etiquette

[dadddyghostface]

ugh can we talk about late replies for a second?

we’re having a good conversation, the vibes are actually flowing, we’re bonding and everything feels nice… and then you hit me with 10-15 minutes of silence between every single reply??

every. time.

i’m not saying you have to reply instantly 24/7, but when the chat is going well and then you just… vanish for ages?? it genuinely kills the mood and makes me feel like i’m the only one invested. the constant waiting and overthinking is actually exhausting.

if you’re busy, just say so!! but the random long pauses when we were literally vibing?? my brain can’t handle it anymore 😩

anyone else tired of this or is it just me??

Snapchat

I hate how people on Snapchat will just casually send snaps out to like their whole contact list, especially when its something so innocuous that you can't tell if they wanted to reach out to you or not.

Like after years of not talking (not in a bad way), dont randomly send me a picture of your waterbottle that says "ello" on it, and expect it to be taken any other way than you saying hello 😫 i didn't want to be rude and just not respond, especially if you actually did want to chat

it’s occurred to me I don’t know how to use emojis. Or if my fellow gen z-ers use emojis even. Like to me 😭 is me crying cause I’m sad. Is it true ppl use it to indicate laughing??? 👍 and this one is just agreement do ppl think it’s passive aggressive? It feels nicer than just saying yeah. 💀 and don’t even get me started on this one….
