how do i get better at texting replies

i’ll eventually reply to a message but it will often take a rare minimum of 3 hours, 5 days at most

obviously if it’s something like plans i’ll reply in time, but small talk and even things that don’t concern me i find no desire to respond to and i’ll often force myself w short dry responses that end the conversation

i’m young and i know a lot of relationships these days rely on online communication but i haven’t been able to push myself to it

i’ve lost out on a lot of potential friendships bc ppl assume i don’t like them or they’re offended by my slow responses, but it’s just hard for me

how do i learn the motivation to reply to people
