I message my friends, and they reply for a text or two, then act like they never see my messages, would you cut off such friends? I find it disrespectful, should I cut off such people from my life? Or is it not that big of a deal.

  1. I find it annoying. Depends on how old you are. When you’re young, everyone has time. When you’re 30+ people literally have everything else to do than texting.

  2. For me it’s pretty annoying, but depends on your age and what will you do if that happens repeatedly.

  3. I find this fairly annoying. Honestly I would say maybe talk to them about it and tell them that you think it is disrespectful and if they are true friends the issue should be resolved. Otherwise you could also just stop texting them first and see what happens like if you just go different ways or summ

  4. I don’t think I would consider those people close friends. I think my brother does that to me. I don’t consider us to be close. It’s like I don’t care either way.

  6. I would end a friendship where someone expected me to text back right away. Just because we have phones doesn’t mean you are entitled to access me 24/7. I’ll reply when I reply. No disrespect to the person, but I might be busy, in a bad mood, watching a movie … I’m in my 40s though, so I had my teenage years without texting.

  7. Not all people feel the same towards texting. I prefer to meet up with my friends rather than texting with them

  9. What are you texting them about though? Is it small talk or are you making plans to hang out? For the latter, non-responsiveness can be a major pain, sure. For the former, it could come down to any number of things (are you hitting them with walls of text, are your conversations interesting enough to warrant a response, etc)

  10. I’m my mid twenties, I looked at all the people in my phone directory and went through and pulled the cards (this was mid eighties) of anyone who was in the list of “friends who never ring me” most I never heard from again.

    You don’t need to block them, just delete their numbers and stop calling them.

  12. Most people don’t like texting that much, I know I don’t.

    How do they treat you in person, if they ignore in person or drop your calls or something than get new friends but if it’s just texts it’s not a huge deal unless they are important texts

  13. Pretty much, yeah. I expect to be texted the same amount I text, so I will cut the relationship if they don’t. There’s being a bad texter, and then there’s looking like you don’t care.
