Too Much Texting?

[InbetweenDreams]

I guess here's my do's and don't-s on texting. I like texting back and fourth but when I'm at work there needs to be an understanding that I may not reply...for hours. I do like a good conversation and texting back and forth can often foster a good conversation. On the other hand texting can also do the opposite. Me, I like to be able to text someone and talk to someone on the phone or in person and still have a good conversation, got to be able to communicate.

However the guys who DEMAND that you text them back immediately is absurd. That being said if you can't return a text in a day or ever initiate a conversation probably not a good sign.

Now I haven't always been quite as level headed, I guess my old age helps with that....but realistically it is experience and being enough of an empath to understand different people in different situations I realize better how my actions have an effect on people. I do of course want to be a positive influence on people but I know that's not always going to be the case, some people just don't like me and it doesn't matter how nice I try to be. Some people are also just pricks. Oh yes...texting.

I actually prefer to use Facebook messenger, the reason is so that I can type. I sit at a computer most of my day and continue to use one in the evening. I also type fairly fast... A friend and I played around with a typing test not to far back and I came in around something like 68 WPM. So I like being to get my ideas out faster on that. I even bought a bluetooth keyboard that will work with my phone but the keys are too small for me really, but it is better than using the screen. I also tend to be very thorough with my thoughts. I have made some very lengthy posts on here and on my blog. I think a lot, so to be bound by SMS is a pain, plus autocorrect.

Anyway, I think it says a lot about someone who demands you text them all the time and expect them to take a higher precedence over one's job or school. Let's get real here. Unless you're going to pay for everything for me, my car, place to live, eat, etc and fuck me on top of it, keep your demands to a minimum.... Hell it'd would be nice for a guy to drive to me and then wine me and dine me too. That never happens and I'm often the one doing just that, but that's my own fault.

I am learning, all a little too slowly that it is ok to be an asshole to people who fucking deserve it (say it like Gordon Ramsay does -- seems to have more of a sting to it).
