If you know me... You are well aware my phone is practically a permanent fixture in my hand. I rarely miss a beat. (Unless I'm at church & on some occasions when at work) Basically...never long enough.
So my views on texting might not be the same as the rest of the world. Maybe my texting expectations are a bit too high. Maybe I want instant. I quite possibly require too much attention, even from people who's attention I have no interest in. It's like... I put in the time (the whole 30 seconds) to read & reply...ehhh...Do the same, please & thank you.
Truth is... people do get "busy" (I quite loath the term, always sounds like an excuse) & people don't need to reply right away, especially to a non emergency text. I wish I was as nonchalant about replying back, but... I'm not. even if you took 2 hours to answer back, I'll likely still answer 5 minutes later (& if I don't, please NOTE, I'm doing it on purpose). BUT again... I need gentle reminders that...it's not that serious. Not always at least, other times people are in fact blatantly ignoring my ass...
The real question is... When is it okay? , When should you be "cool with it"...& at what point are you able to give dirty looks at your phone & curse the person out under your breath? (never...oh okay)...
I'm a bit much. I don't really set expectations on anyone, but I guess I do... I've adjusted to a lot of texting styles. Some friends I know take forever to reply, others I know they pick & choose when to reply right away...and in the end they all eventually do. Sometimes it matters, other times it doesn't. OBVI, some folks I notice more than others, but that's neither here, nor there.
In conclusion... I thought I was cool as shit & can't even get a text back...
