IT'S SO DISRESPECTFUL, I think when people choose you to vent and to let it out, it only means that person trusts you and your advice that you will be giving to him or her... So a K is very disrespectful... I'd never do that, the only time i use an OK is when somebody offends me (here most of the time) with long phrases and that's when I just say ok because no need to continue.
Yeap quite a few times, and sometimes I’m left on read and ignored. So I don’t tend to reach out much anymore except for a few people I know will actually respond, and won’t try to divert the conversation.
Lol, yeah, I'm pretty sure this has happened to everyone at least once in their lifetime. I'm sometimes busy, so when I see that message, I just reply something like: yeah lol or no lol or oh lol or okayy or something like that and then write a long paragraph after I become free, i also tell them that I was busy and that is why I wasn't able to text. But some people just reply something like: k and end the conversation. Ngl, it gets on my nerves and I just assume that they have no interest in talking to me
Honestly, no I don't think so. People always eventually reply to me. It just may take time, like days, even, which I understand. The more you write, the more effort it is for them to reply. So I tend to put the onus on myself, mostly. If I really wanted/needed a quick reply, I would write a fraction of what I do. It can be overwhelming to reply to a long or dense or emotional outpouring. And sometimes they just haven't seen it yet.
I very much disagree with people who then immediately block the non-replyer/the brief replier. That's childish. I give people time. And I need time, myself, to reply to important things. Sometimes your head is just not there, focused enough for it.
If this is happening to you more than you would like, I'd also suggest cutting down on the length and intensity, and being more selective on who you share this type of stuff with. Maybe they just aren't emotionally equipped for it. ?

Absolutely That's one of my biggest pet peeves. I find that very rude. It literally takes a few seconds to type a reply "Sorry, I'm busy; Right now I'm X.. Talk to you later" It can be very interesting to respond with: ‘Oh, I am sorry, I didn't know you are busy. ‘ This will often trigger a more constructive conversation, because the person will understand now that his reply wasn't adequate and he may want to explain why he reacted like this and what he really thinks about your problems. And if he again replies with ‘K’, it's a clear message for you

I don't really like texting. And, almost everyone who personally knows me also knows I'd rather talk than text. So, when one of my friends wrote me a very long text, I intentionally answered "Just call me" and nothing more. At least, it's better than just "k" and it prompted my friend to call me instead of texting me.
I haven’t, but unfortunately I’ve done that to a boyfriend. I’m not an emo girl, and just don’t know what to respond with when I get a paragraph with compliment after compliment and loaded with sentiment. And lengthy texts always seemed to come when I was really busy.
Been there, but at times I can be guilty of those two-word responses myself. Mostly when I'm busy, but if I knew someone was available and they acted like this, I'd either consider the conversation dead or just call them on the telephone the old-fashioned way.
It's happened to me and not just over text. I've also been guilty of the short reply.
My short reply has come when that particular person has already worn me down and it's my way of certifying uncle. OR My short reply comes when I'm not willing to engage in a debate.

Texting was not a thing when I was dating and I really do not do much of it except with our fellow GaGers. I dated somebody for years and use to write to her at least once a week. Usually two pages at least. If she wrote once a semester it was a big deal. I really didn't know if she even read any of my letters because she never commented on anything I ever wrote.
I start ghosting when I start getting “haha lol yeah” responses and no way to further the conversation. Sometimes they won’t say something about what I have said in my last message or change to a new topic to talk about, so I take it as them losing interest in the conversation.
If it's a serious enough conversation, have it in person. Things can sometimes not really come through in text form and it's really tiring to have to type out endless paragraphs when you're mad or going through something and then of course only get that type of response. Also know your audience...if this has happened to you before with this person, it's going to happen again, so either accept it, or have a talk about communication with them.
Could be that person have problems with how to respond. ( I'm guilty of that no matter how my feelings are )
Or are an ignorant person.
sometimes do we need to be patient for a couple of day's and back off. I know it can be hard and are perceived as an eternity just with a couple of hours.
It's happened to me and I've done it to other people. The only reason why I do it to others is because they're ranting is so annoying especially. I don't mind then ranting but it gets annoying when they come to you constantly. I'll also do the same to people who have always complain about something trivial
Sometimes. But I still give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they just had a quick second to respond or something. If it happened a lot I would just let the convo die off.
I'm old school so I rather have conversations like this in person... it has happened over screens though, but I also am selective with people... so I've never got " k' " answers
Hell yes and ask you can do is respect the person for being honest in letting you know they are really not that interested in you or on that level with you sand move on away from them or keto trying to raise their interest in you
I don't recall that happening to me but if it did, I probably would stop talking to the person. That shows they don't care about your nor your feelings. They're not real friends.
Oh the 'k' is a so effective way of saying I don't care. People need these conversations killers to wake up and perhaps act instead of whine to people about something they don't like.
I have been fortunate enough to not experience this type of bs. If my relationship end up resulting to this form of communications as a way of salvage then it’s not worth saving.
Oh My Gawd I hate when people do that it's like they have some type of mental illness or they are talking to someone else and leaving me to hang it makes no sense
Yeah but if I'm sending a book through text message it's because they won't answer the phone and a text is the only thing that will go through. K as a response just means they're still mad.
Most of the time it's what happens when I post here.
The world just isn't ready for my revolutionary genius.

Kind of. Rule #1 this is the internet ALWAYS I don't care how nice someone is. You never leave yourself completely vulnerable. Odds are even if they aren't playing you right then. They will use it as fuel against you later.
Yup, that means they are either not interested or no longer interested or they are uncomfortable with what you said (aka not interested). And that’s not changing. Move on.

That's why I don't engage in serious conversation with anyone unless I know they're paying attention.

Sometimes the long texts only serve to kill a conversation. And only allow for a short response. If this happens to you a lot maybe you should go back and read these texts and think about how you would respond if someone sent you the same thing.
I do it rarely if ever to outsiders because YOU would really have to know me and have been what I have been through after serving two tours each in Iraq and Afghanistan Individually. I personally just keep thing's to myself.
