Why can’t people just let you know WHY they’re not going to text you back for the rest of the day?
Why can’t people just let you know WHY they’re not going to text you back for the rest of the day?
I would rather: “Hey, I’m puking my brains out and feel like **** so talk to you tomorrow” or even “Hey something’s come up so I’m not going to be texting you for a while”
“Okay cool dude/ hope you get better”
Than: “gtg for a bit” <- Because when I see that, I’m expecting you to text back in a couple hours
What the hell? Am I that unreliable? Do you think I’m going to throw all Hell at you and complain? Do you not…. trust me with that information? Is “puking your brains out” really that personal that you wouldn’t want to share it with someone who cares about you?
I’m usually a reasonable person. I put up with that sort of ****, I really do. I wouldn’t even care if you just said, “Hey I don’t feel like talking to you right now”. That’s at least a reason, even if it sucks.
I just think it would be nicer that you’d… oh I dunno, EXPLAIN a bit more instead of leaving me hanging. K thanks.
(Is it just me or would that upset/anger you?)
Gtg, for me, implies that you will be texting back at some point later in the day.
It implies, to me, that something brief has come up like work, class, chores, etc (hence the: gtg FOR A BIT).

I agree. I always tell everyone to tell me if they are going to go somewhere, eat, pray, bathe, cook, clean or whatever else to let me know before hand so I am not waiting on their texts. It is highly annoying and even more so when they do it often. Maybe you should take a little time off from texting them to "teach them a lesson" or until you miss them. After that is done you will not mind them doing that for awhile and they may try not to do it again.

PPl don't know what you're doing, they don't want to necessarily go out of their way to describe why they won't be texting for a while. I think this is the thing.

i didn't even read all that. the only reasons why people don't text back is because
1) you're annoying
2) they don't like you/they have no desire to talk to you
3) you pissed them off
4) they read it and forgot
5) you bored them
6) they do not care
