Why do people pointlessly text others?

[Anonymous]

Texting with no goal to hang out is childish.

When someone texts me randomly, is because they were thinking of me that time. I don’t think it’s pointless at all. They could’ve texted others but they chose me instead

[Asker]

Or because they are bored, which is pointless. Hit me up with plans and leave me alone lol

[Pinay_ako]

Yea but why you?

[ohsheeT]

Never really thought about it that way

OK what would you call this then I have a phone and it rings all day lone but I don't answer it. Not unless I know them and even then sometimes I wo t. What would it be call if I just use my phone when I waNt to talk to someone

Perhaps that is the highest level of social interaction of which they are capable. You live in a generation of which many believe that texting is a preferable means for conducting relationships.

I don’t think so. Some friendship dynamics involve texting every day even about mundane shit.

[Chikky]

Cause that what social media is for, now it's your choice to ignore

[Asker]

Well no wonder, social media made society stupid at an even quicker pace

You think that's pointless, I've had people dm me and say hello, then when I respond back with a hi, they never reply back, what are people's brains made of, bubble gum?

[itsalyssaagain]

This!!! It agitates me lol

[MementoMori777]

I'm glad I'm not the only one, it means I'm not the problem ha

[itsalyssaagain]

Yeah definitely

Attention. This is why I avoid most women's flirtations. Most of it is designed just to get a reaction. To get his attention and when she gets bored she walks away. Unless I feel like she has genuine interest and it's leading somewhere I just shut it down.

My wife does it in order to look busy... what makes me wonder is why she puts herself in those awkward social situations to begin with?

I have messages disabled on my phone. I have zero interest in wasting my time with texting.

[shades777]

you know you can have conversations just for conversations sake, your not going to be accomplishing apollo 13 missions on every text message. 👀

[Asker]

Yeah except there’s no point.

[SolitarySolace]

Maybe they’re just bored but don’t want to actually go do anything

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I don’t know, I usually want to do something that’s why talk to them

[In_Trance]

Something to do would be my guess
