Why do most people prefer texting than actually talking to someone nowadays, generally speaking?

There are several reasons why people may prefer texting over talking to someone in person or over the phone:

1. Convenience: Texting allows people to communicate at their own pace and on their own schedule, without the need for immediate responses or interruptions. It's also easier to multitask while texting, such as checking messages while at work or in a public place.

2. Control: Texting allows people to carefully craft their messages and control the tone and content of their communication. It can be easier to express difficult emotions or thoughts through text, as it allows for more time to think and choose the right words.

3. Anxiety: Some people may feel anxious or uncomfortable with face-to-face or phone conversations, and may prefer the perceived safety and distance of texting. It can also be easier to avoid confrontation or difficult conversations through text.

4. Efficiency: Texting can be a more efficient way to communicate, especially for brief messages or quick updates. It can also be easier to keep track of important information or conversations through text.

Overall, the reasons for preferring texting over other forms of communication can vary depending on the individual and the situation. While texting can be a convenient and useful tool for staying in touch, it's important to remember that it's not always the best or most appropriate form of communication for every situation.

Texting is pointless, but luckily I don't know anyone that does it.

Texting saves time

[Nikki1989]

Yeah, because actually talking to someone is so time-consuming. 🤦‍♀️

@Nikki1989 it would obviously take more time than just simply texting

Some people don't reply straight away.
