How do you feel when someone don't reply to your text messages?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Depends on the person and situation:

If it's urgent or work related? Annoyed. Nowadays, texting and messages is the best way to get ahold of people, especially in my particular field.

If it's just a text to say hi, a meme I sent, or just something random? I don't really care, lol. Seriously, it's a text; people have other things going on in their lives besides texting me. Heck, not going to lie, I don't always reply to peoples texts either for whatever reason, but if I see them in person I will address them or chat with them.

However, I also give people the benefit of the doubt as I've had people tell me they don't get my messages due to android/iphone issues- and it's true. They've shown me screenshots or their phones and messages I clearly sent them were not received. Or they might go through hours, days later when I restart my phone.

I've had people who reply by the next day or as long as 2 -3 weeks later. Sometimes people stop the conversation by not replying. No goodbye or see ya later.

It just shows me that you do not respect me. And if you show that you can't respect me, trust me, I will not place you very high on my life's "priority list". I personally don't take days or weeks to reply back to someone. Its not a good habit and I'm not a disrespectful person. I treat people well and its one of my values.

I guess it's one of my main frustrations. Because call it a text or sms or what ever... Short messaging service it's called.
If I'm sending a text, maybe it may not be urgent, but at the same time I don't believe it should take longer than usual to respond. As u have options to even respond without opening the apps these days. Notification bar response etc.
Now honestly, if I was waiting for an answer after 6-7 hours, days, weeks etc, then I'm better off by writing a letter. So it does annoy me. Especially if it's my girlfriend.

Dependent urgency status…usually no big deal when 6 hour turnaround

BlueScorpio · Answer

I assume the person is busy but if consistently then I would feel like they don't just don't want to talk to me anymore. I would feel hurt by it but eventually stop talking or texting them altogether.

I am opposed to anyone getting special benefits. People should be paid for time they work. There should be no mandated time off. If it is a good employee and the company approves then they can have time off without pay; otherwise, they can quit.

It cost to give people special privaliges. They benefit at the expense of other that don't get the benefits.

Looksnicholas · Answer

A little bothered if it's my friends not responding about, if they're running late or am i early. Lol. Can be so hard to make plans with people nowadays to grab coffee or even a movie on time ha

Pissed. Especially if I think I’m being ignored I get enraged and have to try my best not to let the crazy take over

Dinklex3 · Answer

🤔 I've never had someone just never text back, lol. But if it takes a while I'll either call or be annoying and spam them.

annabananna · Answer

I dkk on t really think too much of it. Assume they didn’t see it or forgot to respond and if I am asking a question that I need an answer to I’ll ask again later if they don’t respond after a day or two. If it’s urgent I will call.

If it's a guy I like, I feel disappointed and frustrated. I feel upset if he's read it , but doesn't reply. To me personally, the length of time someone takes to respond to a text shows their level of interest

tzdc21 · Answer

If it doesn't happen all that often, I probably wouldn't mind it. But if it happens on a regular basis, then I would think that they are not all that interested in talking to me at all.

tonamimargaux · Answer

If it’s a guy I like I’d feel bad, but if it’s someone I don’t have any expectations from I don’t feel bad or I don’t care at all sometimes. Probably I’ll just end up ignoring them too.

CA4444 · Answer

Depends if I expect and answer like if there was a question and some urgency, I don’t always expect sometimes I wouldn't even notice

xJeremyx · Answer

I tend to overthink and start believing that I am getting on their nerves, that I somehow Pissed them off, etc.

TroyDT2 · Answer

Personal: I just figure the person will get back to me when there is time. Work: employee: better have a great reason  client: I tend to call and email.

When I was younger and I could see its already been read, I was ticked off.  Nowadays, I just don't give a shit. I have proof I sent you a message and that's about it. I ain't gonna chase you

OnlinePeanut22 · Answer

I was about to meet up with person but couldn't but did let the person know that I couldn't make it today. That I was message on badoo. I also been getting guys not replying.

TallAnon · Answer

Depends. If you text the president, don't feel upset when you're ignored. If it's someone you have been chatting to and you get ghosted; sure, that sucks.

Anonymous · Answer

Anonymous · Answer

Bad sometimes very bad. On the other hand I find it curious that when it's me who don't reply, I don't feel hurt by that at all. Lol.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

It doesn’t have much impact on me. I will eventually stop texting, if there’s a pattern
