Different Types of Texters You Probably Know

[hospitable_pepperoni]

The main form of conversation used today is texting. It's easier than face-to-face conversation and you can do it whenever you want. Despite how often it's done, some people just aren't that great at texting or have some interesting ways to do it. Here are six types of texters you have probably encountered.

1. The normal texter

This texter is the most normal out of all of them. Decent grammar, fair share of abbreviations, but overall understandable. Most people are some variation of the normal texter.

2. The texter who doesn't know how to use grammar

Not many people use perfect grammar and punctuation while texting. However some people mess up their grammar so much their texts are rendered either indecipherable or infuriating.

3. The "totally formal, perfect grammar" texter

The exact opposite of #2, this texter uses perfect grammar and punctuation as well as sending long, formal texts. Although you admire their attention to the quality of their texts, a conversation with them can feel a bit forced and formal at times.

4. The all-caps texter

This texter always uses all caps, no matter the occasion, making them sound hyper and worked up all the time. You can't help but envision them screaming at you when you read their texts.

5. The "lol after everything" texter

Maybe they do it because they feel like their text sounds too awkward or unfriendly without it. However sometimes it makes their texts sound even more awkward.

6. The spammer

If you don't respond on time, they'll text again. And again. And again. Until you're wondering why the hell you have fifty notifications on your phone when you finally get to it. Don't be this texter.

I strive for thoughtful and grammatically correct text messages. I know someone who often sends 4 texts within the time frame of a few minutes, and I cannot fathom why, because I would rather take 10 minutes to type a paragraph. I prefer NOT to send a text for each sentence that I type. I like to take my time when I'm having an interesting conversation. Sometimes I do rush through and quickly send something, but that's only when I'm talking to someone who truly knows me, and even then my sentences are still grammatically correct.

When it comes to spamming... I don't do it obsessively or in a short time span. Sometimes, I might text a certain person "Good morning" at 6 am. Twelve hours later, they still haven't responded or read my message, so I ask if that person is busy. The next morning, my text is a little more demanding than "Are you busy?" Instead, I might say, "Why aren't you talking to me? What the fuck?" When they finally do respond, I'm usually a little pissy and short tempered with them. So... As far as spamming goes, it doesn't get any worse than that. I only do it when a person goes out of their way to ignore me. I never blow up someone's phone.

As far as texting styles go, I absolutely cannot stand it when people fail to demonstrate proper grammar. Unless I KNOW this person, I will likely stop talking to them shortly after the conversation begins. I also hate when someone just says, "Yeah," or "Ok." That is an INSTANT conversation killer.
Speaking of which, you forgot a type: "The boring texter."

This comment is going nowhere... Cya.

You know what I hate? The type of texter who is similar to the "spammer" but doesn't actually have the intent or notion to spam to get your attention. I have a female friend who, instead of typing a paragraph or a few sentences at a time, will sometimes send me one sentence or a few words at a time in the format of multiple text messages. I'm not an easy guy to annoy but whenever she does that, I just want to go to her house and chuck her phone against a wall.

It's even worse whenever she is drunk because she'll mistype a word and then try four or five times to correct the word.

You forgot the "life story in several paragraphs texter".
The ones who avoid in-person communication and tell you everything over message, that you scroll up to find the beginning of the message but you get so confused that you give up.

[hospitable_pepperoni]

Oh yeah, you're right. I have some friends who do that lol

[cocoaniable]

Why do I feel like most of them 😂
- I spam friends when I've stress or when I really need them to reply asap + same with all-caps
- Totally formal, perfect grammar: when I've to send a message to someone I really don't know
- Normal: with friends
- The lack of grammar: when I'm tired

[Lopezz1999]

Lmao i hate spammers 😂. I happen to be a texted whose grammar is on point, but I like to be very informal with my choice of words. Excellent mytake!

[hospitable_pepperoni]

Thank you! :-)

[helloitsmethere]

I'm the 'lol' texter and I have two friends who are spam texters. Like no... just fuck no, too much messages clouding up the group chat guys, not cool.

[hospitable_pepperoni]

I've got a ton of friends who are spam texters too. It does get annoying after awhile xD

[SaramadHill]

I tend to be a mix between #1 and more often than not, #3. I simply can't let myself send a grammatical mistake, I want to send such texts that you mistake me for an English teacher, so you'll wind up feeling awkward when you text me.

[lovelyhoneybones]

I am number 3 ALL the way. I'm also number 5, which is funny because I annoy myself when I use lol. But it's so fun to use. Sometimes you need to throw in a lol or two.

[JustCallMeLeon]

You forgot about the rude texter you ugly ass motherf*ckibg bitch!

F*ck you!
Peace. :)

[hospitable_pepperoni]
