Difference between a bad/shy texter and someone who isn’t interested?

This is bit a tricky question to ask, without any context. Like for example, when I'm interested in someone I will text back as soon as I can, not right away but as soon as I can as if they are my friend. And I might even share what I'm doing, especially if I'm watching a movie or show. A bad texter could mean many different things. Maybe they are bad at keeping a conversation going and you always have to push it to make it happen. They could be a bad texter because they don't see your message to till the day maybe. A shy texter could mean someone who sends little replies but they still want to hold a conversation and you will feel it when it happens.

Sorry for no context. He started the texting, but when I don’t ask any questions he won’t respond. He answers immediately (up to 30 minutes) when I ask a question and he kept the conversation going once, but again after I didn’t ask a question he didn’t keep it going. After a week with no contact I texted him to just say I was thinking of him and he responded enthusiastically (added exclamation points) but didn’t ask any questions to keep the conversation going. I’m just confused as to whether he likes me or I’m just a friend.

Honestly. I was also in a recent situation likes this. And he honestly could be prioritizing other things first before you. If he's not asking you questions back, he could just have a hard time asking questions, some guys are like that. Don't try to get your hopes to high to think he likes you, some guys are just friendly! But if this is something that's been going on for some time now, I would say just ask him how does he feel about you or view you? Because the moment I asked that guy who I was talking to, he was upfront and honest about it.

A bad or a shy texter will still text provided the other person takes the initiative to text first. However, a person who is not interested will not reciprocate nor reply even if the other person is taking the initiatives.

How can I know if I’m being annoying if I’m always starting the conversation? Is it acceptable now if one person always initiates?

Well a mature person will almost certainly let you know if you are being annoying. However taking the first initiative is a great thing, a brave thing and it’s fine to do so.

“ Is it acceptable now if one person always initiates?”

Yes of course. I see nothing wrong with that
