If someone texted you all day would you always answer? Or would you ignore them?

- I couldn’t handle it, man, lmao. Especially if it’s the short choppy texts. FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY AND SEND ME A FULL PARAGRAPH🤦♂️ I have a buddy who texts like:
“Whats up boys
Who’s ready for fishing this weekend?
Gonna crush bass
What time should we leave?
My wife bought us steaks
So don’t shop too heavy for groceries
Saturday night meal is covered
Hit me up tomorrow
When you guys are leaving”
It drives me up the wall, haha, that could all come as one text. I can’t take all the rapid fire texts, and the ringing or the vibrating that comes with it. I actually had to silence notifications a group chat we’re in because he’s so bad with it. I wake up to 145 texts, lmfao, between him and everyone else.
I don’t know, it’s crazy to me how people’s brains work these days. I’m sure a lot of what I write on here doesn’t even get read because it’s wordy, haha, but that’s me fully explaining everything I have to say and hopefully minimizing follow-up questions. Every time I write something brief, I have to gradually explain it to people I discuss it with, and it’s like “this all could have just been said the first time.” But I think the modern attention span has become tragically short. At first I thought it was just people moving faster, but it’s really a lateral move that requires more intermittent action of you, distracting you from other shit. I’d rather send a long text that takes five minutes to type, and one final response to their response, over the course of say fifteen minutes, where I can do other things in between, than have to be back and forth with someone relaying the same amount of information over the same amount of time, constantly focused on that.
Reading comprehension past the permitted 140 characters on Twitter is a lost art😢0|10|0Is this still revelant?

- If I liked her and enjoyed hearing from her it wouldn't bother me one bit. Matter of fact I've done just that before. All day long texting back and forth.
What's the difference in that and actually talking face to face if she were at your house all day... Just as long as the texts themselves had some sort of coherent meaning to them and she wasn't just telling me what she was doing every 5 minutes.
Second girl I dated in my life just got off work. It was 9PM. Just got out of shower. Got to be at work 6am the next morning. This girl I barely knew who just started at my job just texted me. It lasted all the way til 2 am. I think she probably texted me maybe close to 100 times within that 5 hour range. I answered every question and asked them myself.
She got my number from a female coworker I've known for awhile.
Not too many things will annoy me unless it's intentionally obnoxious.
We became good friends dated for many months and then I find out what kind of person she was and ended it immediately.0|10|0Is this still revelant?

- Whoa, can you say clingy and needy?
My friends KNOW not to message me that much because I will NOT reply! I don't mind people that talk via text, but if you "spam" me that much, I am not going to reply until you learn how to text in a more controlled manner. Better still, just talk to me in person or via phone if you have that much to say, sheesh.0|00|0Is this still revelant? - It would make me stressed and overwhelmed. If I knew that there was nothing alarming going on, I would answer later on, but I'd still feel very anxious.
I have to admit that I can't deal with such things well.1|20|0Is this still revelant?

2130- Depends on the CONTENT of the texts!! If it is just silly "love you baby" crap, I would just turn off my phone! I am not that "mushy-shit" kind of guy!
If she was having a bad day, and just needed to vent, and have someone support her, and it was just one day, then I'm there, supporting her, and saying loving things!
Usually, I expect maybe 4-5 texts, throughout the day, if we are both sane, stable people and just in a relationship.
Got to work, and traffic sucked! Forgot my lunch; so I send her one of her favorite Jimmy Johns sandwiches, as a surprise! Someone is being a total BITCH to her, and sending calming thoughts and texts. Maybe later, are we having dinner together, tonight? or Are we at your place or mine? things. . . What's for dinner, and should I get a good wine?0|00|0 - I would ignore the shit out that damn annoying (something something) I mean get a clue already... I will get back to you never ever again... now that I've her irritating nagging ass. Seriously, can you imagine being married to that... you would have to spike her gin and tonic with xanax and shit to get her to fall asleep anf finally shut the fuck up!0|00|0
- Talk and argue with them personally of why r they doing it!
Tell them u got work and r busy and so should they be busy to do some work
Tell ur mom to join some designing, dancing or some stupid class to keep herself busy0|10|0I tried getting her into some hobby since she doesn't do anything all day, but she either gives up and is not interested.
She just drinks, watches TV and texts or plays with her phone.Mother again?
Jean Marie, Jean Marie. This is the other shoe dropping.
Slaps you around. Apologizes, now texts you all day long because she has nothing else to do.
How long are you gonna put up with her monopolizing your life like she's your fucking SPOUSE!
And I wouldn't put up with that from a spouse, either...She sounds like an alcoholic. And alcoholism causes brain damage. If she's been drinking heavily her whole life, her brain isn't functioning properly and she will continue to go downhill mentally.
You don't have anything to look forward to with this woman. She will likely need to be set up in a nursing home sooner than later. 20 more years of her drinking and she might have delirium tremors. I hope she doesn't smoke. Because emphysema will also occur, so she'll have COPD and be on oxygen. With brain damage she'll be smoking on oxygen. I knew someone's dad who did this. Three packs a day AND nicotine patches. It was like heroin addiction.- Show All Show Less
@Screenwriter she's never been that interested in me so it's a bit flattering, but after a while it gets annoying.
My fiancée doesn't see the problem, she says it's normal but she too gives her money and attention and scolds me when I say we should distance ourselves a bit from her.@Screenwriter she drinks, smokes and used to abuse drugs too.
And yet she looks younger than her age (43 but looks mid thirties) and for now never showed health issues apart from mental ones.
On the flip side, I actually have chronic COPD, stage 2.Damn! COPD, passive smoking?
Well watever u told bout ur mother , her menta conditions look very similar to 'Kabir Singh' lol.
Ok so kabir singh is a movie character where his girlfriend leaves him coz he is toxic jerk.. and he get into alcoholism and drugs and smoking
And he's mentally so unstable, insecure and sad but can't contact his girlfriend so keeps trying to distract himself and much more ( u can watch it with subtitles)
Or try see the song bekhayali from kabir Singh.. it tells how much kind of drunked he gets with those memories
But ur mother i guess too is getting the same... she's wanting u to know that she cares for u and needs to be assured that u do the same to her... and trying to make things right
She's trying everything to get ur attention to feel close to u but also getting impatient and anxious
Her brain is just not strong enough for emotional hits of being ignored or alone anymore. She realised it late but she has
Jean-Marie. Are you looking forward to 40 more years of this? Because you're setting yourselves up for this to continue until either your mother or you are dead.
I see no reason to believe she's going to kick the bucket since she doesn't work and expends no energy to wear herself out. It appears she'll be taking your money, demanding your attention whenever she feels she wants it.
Sit down with you fiancee' and tell her your mother's behavior is NOT NORMAL.
She's an alcoholic and drug addict. She's stopped illegal drugs and is pickling herself with cigarettes and booze.
You two need to go to counseling to discuss this situation with an objective third party.
Dstance yourselves from her. My other questions are why does your fiancee' believe this is normal behavior and why does she give your mother money?
But maybe this will be revealed in therapy.
This is a sick triangle and if YOU want to distance yourself, I have no idea WHY your financee' would not accept that, stop giving your mother money and attention and listen to your needs.
If your mother has never been interested in you, she's not interested now.
Texting you 34 times a day is obsessive/compulsive dependent behavior.
If you want to spend money on your mother, have her committed to a drug addiction program that will dry her out and set her up with psychological counseling and medication. She might find some peace and maybe you will too.
If you keep kowtowing to her, you're in for a life of misery catering to her.
What worries me more is that your fiancee' doesn't appear to know this and this threatens the relationship you two have.
Please, get help.
@Screenwriter not necessarily that she is doing still for the money... people do change..
Yes money is being a part in this situation but what if she's wanting to know jean feel that she loves him... the way she didn't take his care in childhood... she literally doesn't really know how to show to take care or so... so she's constantly phoning him here and there
Maybe he can just take her to the place where drug addicts r treated... so in that way she'll be far from jean giving him sometime peace and time to think bout what she actually wants
And maybe improve his mother (if she really wants to improve)People SELDOM change unless they hit rock bottom because of some negative behavior.
Jean Marie has indicated that neither of his sisters talk to his mother anymore because of her behavior. He is her only child who still does.
Calling someone 34 times over three hours is not a display of love. It is a display of obsessive compulsive disorder.
Jean Marie WANTS love from his mother, but she has not and does not give love. I think she is too narcissistic and alcohol addled to do so. She seems to sit around doing nothing and asks for money to continue doing nothing.
If she were an old, decrepit woman, I could see how she'd need help. But she's young enough that she could work if she gets help and uses it. Now, gettting that horse to water won't make her drink. But I sure would lead her there.
Jean Marie needs to be having a better life with his fiancee at his age with no interference from his mother. Certainly not having his mother HIT HIM for refusing to be an ATM for her.
I hope he realizes his worth and that his mother is probably never going to love him like a normal parent because of all her mental and physical health issues.Damn 😂 there is agreement and disagreement in both the opinions
His mom does seem like a bich but then a hope of she could have changed... while ofc his mother changed only after he got an upper hand ✋
Well maybe he needs to cut her off for some time in his life to take some time
@Jean-Marie_Céline just try sending her on vacation or drug rehabilitation centres... for ur peaceI think it's a bit of both of what you all have said - on one side she tries to do good and mend our relationship, on the other her worst side takes over so she thinks about what she can get out of me.
It was way worse when I was younger. Her mood swings and arguments she had with my aunt (whom raised me for the most part) oftend ended in her either taking it out on me or taking me out in the night driving away.
Once she took me to the lakeside and it was nice.
Other times she would just take me in deserted areas and either drank and made us sleep in the car, or would keep me up all night talking. Sometimes they were nice conversations, other times she would just yell or insult me because of what happened.Your mother has some kind of mood disorder and a host of other things going on that I am not professional enough to diagnose. Make your own life away from her. Help her when it's an emergency and stay away. She's bad news.
- Yeah, 30 seems like a bit much! I guess it depends who they are. I mean if it’s a love interest and they are THAT needy… I mean, 30 texts in ONE morning is a good indicator that they will suck you dry, emotionally!0|00|0
- I would answer when I feel like it. So if I want some peace and quiet, I would stop replying that way the notifications should stop coming. If the person wants to take up all my time they should do so in person, in a way I like.0|00|0
- Umm that person has a lot of time on their hands... If you have a schedule like most people she should slow down the constant texts. Or she really likes you which might be a good thing but you need your own space too.0|10|0
- I personally would not have the time or energy to constantly talk to someone due to trying to focus on studying or homework or something else I am busy with and then I would message them as soon as possible.0|10|0
- I mean, if it was mutual I would but if they are just texting over and over and we aren't talking bout something then I'ma hit the silent button or block them. They feeding have done stalker tendencies lol0|00|0
- Depends if I want to talk to them and we are holding a decent conversation, if not then ill probably start slowing down in answering and take a little longer, as it slowly dies down.0|00|0
- If they are a best friend or a girlfriend i'd always answer, me and my friends spam the crap out of eachother's phones at 3am just to send gibberish. One of my best friend's even text spams and calls me while she is at work. good times itiz.0|00|0
- No, I can't text that much. I feel like it can totally distract you from work and life in general. Instead, you can have a deep online conversation with much fewer (but perhaps longer) messages.0|10|0
- If someone texted me ALL FUCKING DAY, I'd block them. What the fuck is wrong with them? There's no excuse for being annoying.0|20|0
- If their trying too sell me something, I'd continue too try too get contact information for police authorities to follow up on.0|00|0
- whether is 30 or 30,000 words, or 300 notifications... if you have texted me all day, there has to be a good reason for it, so I will read them all.0|00|0
- Sometimes too much is too much. I appreciate someone giving a damn that i am alive and texts me. But sometimes it gets annoying.0|10|0
- No lie xD I get lazy and annoyed. Except for my peach I don’t mind him texting me a bunch Cx0|00|0
@Paul09 nah I work most the Time xD and if I’m not I occupy myself or just watch videos on my computer.
Ah cool. Because some of my friends seem to be on their phone a lot in person. But then You text them and they don't answer for a while or at all lol
- Show All Show Less
@Paul09 Yeah that’s weird xD I’ve seen a lot of people like that too but maybe it just depends on the person. 😅
- Whoa that seems a little extreme. I would stop responding. Got no time for that 😂0|00|0
- I would ignore and if it is longer than a day I would block.0|20|0
- If that person is too cheap or too lazy to actually call you, then block them on your phone.0|10|0
- It depends. If it was my girlfriend I would answer. If it was my boss I would ignore him.0|00|0
- Anonymous1 moNo. I dealt with a guy like that and I can’t deal with a man who wants to be under me 24/7. The day that I wanted my space it was an issue. Never again.0|10|0
- Depends in the situation but in general I'd put some of them aside, or send a couple big texts myself and try to get them to condense it down0|00|0
- Okay ngl at first I would be happy especially if we were having a convo but if its 30 notifications solely on there part and there is no reciprocation from me thats annoying0|00|0
- I would text them back when I feel like it, which could range from an immediate text back from to possibly the next day.0|10|0
- All day long would annoy the hell out of me, so Id have to either say something or ignore that person.0|10|0
- It depends. If it gets annoying i would pretend i am watching tv. And i only answer when i have time. When i work i would not answer ofcourse.0|00|0
- He is a sick sick person do not answer him if you do you will most probably text you every minute asking you what you are doing and who your with and why did it take so long for you to answer.0|00|0
Same apply s to a woman. She is just as capable as any guy it holds true for both sexes... Wish you luck
- Be mindful that YOU are in NO WAY obligated, to attend every argument that you are 'invited' to... many phones have 'caller ID', USE it! Eventually, they'll get bored~1|00|0
- I respond when i have time and my mind is clear cuz many times its total bs.0|00|0
- Way before it got to that many I would begin to ignore them.0|10|0
- Yes... she must be anxious about something that only you could appease0|00|0
- Texting is really obnoxious. If they texted me all day I would not only ignore them I would block their number.0|10|0
- I will answer for sure. I don't mind texts at all.0|00|0
- I would quite simply ignore and delete them.0|10|0
- I would only answer according to my availability.0|10|0
- I would try to always respond0|10|0
- Depends on who it is.0|20|0
Tbh at that level, unless I absolutely need to have them in my life I'd consider blocking them.
- End the day with a simple "k" answer...0|10|0
- i don't have time for that , block em0|10|0
- Who from?0|00|0
