Is leaving another person on read considered intentional?

[estelle_]

I do this a lot, for multiple reasons.
I see the message and think about replying then get distracted and forgot I didn't reply.
I have too many notifications and bulk clear them and forget I had messages.
I read it but don't have the time energy to respond (and then again, forget i didn't respond and think I did).
I read it and get interrupted and down goes the phone and I forget to respond or think I already did.
And then, very rarely, I will not respond just because I don't want to talk to the person who texted me (that could again be because I'm exhausted or don't have enough energy for the conversation, or because I dislike them and don't want to talk to them at all).

The vast majority of my texts get responses 2 or 3 days later. I'm too busy most of the time to stop and text, and by the time I can sit down and have a moment to myself, I'm too exhausted to text people back, especially if it isn't important. But most of the time if it goes unanswered completely, it's because I'm a dum-dum who thought I replied when I didn't.

There's never any way to know.
Could be lack of interest; could be they're busy; could be they don't think it warrants a reply.

Point is, people really, really need to stop expecting responses to every single message they put out into the ether. That is not a healthy attitude to have. The technology has done that to people. Take a step back and think about it in larger context of how society has changed. i. e. chill.

Ah, I have a close friend who does this. She said: "I'm really tired most of the time, so I hear my phone buzz, and check to see who texted me. Once I see that its not a suicide note, I go to sleep."

I would say it is considered international, but it can be a glitch or an accident. They might just be super busy too.

Hope that helps!

Depends. She could have gotten busy, or thought she replied but didn't.

oop it happens to me all the time.. like it depends who the girl is and all. most of the time its okay and don't take it personally. if ur expecting a reply on something important to either of you, remind her to answer or ask her to not leave u on read if it bothers u uwu

[Hazelstar99]

Well, sometimes if people don't have anything to add on then they just leave it read. I leave people read and I'm fine if people leave me read. Texting is too much of a headache. It's better you talk on call.

In life we are bombarded with messages every day from different people, you can’t expect us to answer every single one of them every time 🤣🤣🤣 so if I’m left on read for unimportant message, I don’t really care because I do the same

[nopedydoo]

it could be intentional. but sometimes i open a message an intend to respond but something in that moment forces me to put my phone down and then i might just forget

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Some people might consider it intentional. But I've done it to so many people and had it done to myself enough times that I know it often isn't. At least not among the people I text.

[dandiecandie]

It's intentional. What person reads a message and forgets to reply. That makes no sense. Of course she read it

[scooogy]

Since sending some text is done once yet permanent, I think saying nothing is sometimes the better choice.

[Tstrbrainer]

Not always. But it depends on your relationship. Usually people won't forget to leave an important person on read.
Are you really close friends?

[Maria0079]

Sounds intentional or maybe can’t find the words yet. How old is she?

[Protonite]

I have a rule if the person doesn't reply to my text within 24 hours or till the next time we meet whichever is earlier then it's intentional and he isn't worthy my time.

Welcome to Gag Town and Best of Luck. Intentional. Move on. xx

[MrTwix]

I have a friend who does this, he says its because he gets a lot of messages

[Wise4myage]

Yes, intentional and very rude. Even if she's busy, she can still take the time to respond.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I don't really know, I don't do social media much

[Iamcoming]

She do not care messag

[Cryptic-Game]

It sounds intentional.

[VanJulian]

Yahaaa of course it is

[certifiedalphafemale]

I don't think so.

[HATR3D]

Of course

[shawnsummers]

No..

[Iron_Man]

It’s rude
