Stop taking a long time to respond to the texts. You sabotage your friendships


Depending on who you ask, text messages are either an easy way to stay in contact or an arrogant component in the constantly increasing tasks list. What is suitable for one person may be a burden on the other, which can cause strains on some relationships.

So, how long does someone go without sending text messages to you before it ends up with the friendship block? It wasn’t long before, if you asked me.

It may be harsh, but I believe that healthy relationships are sustainable to communicate in time, instead of leaving someone reading or being delivered for a week. It becomes practically impossible to coordinate Hangouts or share life updates if someone can not bother to respond to your messages within a reasonable window, or contact you if this is what they prefer to chat.

Friends who take days to respond – if they ever do so – they explode indifferent and not interested, especially when they do not arrange alternative ways to catch up. You may start asking about the value of your time and effort already, and why they don’t give priority to communicate with you. Repeated crimes can make the tempting to throw a towel and invest your energy elsewhere.

How long can you go without sending a text message to someone?

I will first acknowledge my personal bias here: I have always enjoyed text messages. My favorite communication was since I got my first phone at the age of 13 and discovered the magic of talking to my friends anytime and anywhere.

It is not a coincidence that some of my close friends tend to be people who were sent with them regularly. There is a feeling of familiarity that comes from sharing your daily experiences and ideas. It is also an enjoyable way to participate in joking and sharing memes and videos that can be linked.

Before you disturbed anyone – if I don’t actually do – I will admit again that for some people, text messages are not enjoyable. But I still think that people are responsible for communicating clearly and repeatedly with their loved ones if they hope to maintain these relationships, whether it is a text, a phone call or a personal meeting.

So, what is the acceptable time window for someone to send you a text message?

Although I am not stable, I may abandon that explicit introduction, I would like to give people opportunities. If someone takes days to respond to me the first time, or simply does not return to me, then I leave him. But if that happens again, this is a blow. I think you should always send a text message to someone within 24 hours-despite special conditions such as travel, illness, etc.

Repeated and repeatedly to respond, not only not affecting, but he kills Vibi. Why do I care if you laugh at Mimi, I sent you five days ago? At this stage, I will not even remember what I have reached. And if I ask you about going to an event and you did not respond until after its end, then this opens another level of inconvenience.

I think the time and effort you invested in friendships include responding to texts during a reasonable period (as long as your friend does not bomb your in the inbox, of course). So if someone takes on continuous days to respond, I consider as a sign of me to stop trying, and putting that energy in friends who will not leave me waiting.

A more personal way to stay in touch

As a teenager, my friends and I were the texts of each other around the clock, and we send a steady flow of messages and pictures about anything and everything, most of them are completely illogical. (Being young and unemployed made this easier.)

But as we are old and more preoccupied, and with social media starting to take our free time, text messages were largely replaced by spreading and consuming content on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Our digital activity has become less personal, more performance and less convenient to maintain relationships. Social media gives a wrong impression on keeping a person without talking to them actually, so relationships tend to break.

Most people have seen the embarrassment of a person who does not respond to your text for several days, but they spread without stopping on social media. Time and energy goes to both activities, and choosing to overcome personal reactions for more general meals can prevent you from feeling real contact with people who are interested in reaching you. Taking 30 seconds to respond to a text may be the difference between making the major relationship and breaking it.

Although phone calls and personal meetings are undoubtedly the best ways to make an in -depth conversation with someone, finding time working for both parties can be a challenge, given the increasing severity of our lives. Textual messages can be a relatively low way to build a real feeling of intimate and communication.

Therefore, the next time you think it is not a big problem to leave someone reading or handing it over, it may reconsider what your actions may pass (or their absence).
