Do you always interpret short replies to your messages/texts as disinterest and/or annoyance with you?

[Still-alive]

or that you think they hope you just stop talking to them?

Stuff like that ^^

Yes i always take it as a sign they are not interested in talking to you and just not telling you outright

Not always but usually i do

I usually don't but sometimes i do see it that way

No i don't see it that way until they tell me literally that they don't want to talk to me or block me

It depends (please explain)

Apart of me is not a huge texter. I took 8 month off my phone. I literally didn't go on my phone for 8 months. So when I came back to texting I would reply back once a day because being on my phone replying back wasn't important to me. I completely broke my addiction so I had zero interest to be texting my family all day every day like how I used to. But I will admit that when I was addicted to the phone and I would text my friend, she would reply back with just "Okay." Like I would send two large texts and she would either reply with an okay or a gif. I always found that annoying and it would piss me off. So I sent her this gif. It said "When you send three large texts and the person replies with k." It showed the guy taking his phone and throwing it against the wall. My friend replied like, "Ok.. I don't know what you want to me to say to your messages..." I was thinking being petty, next time she texts me 20 messages about how she hates her boyfriend I will reply with okay to see how she likes it. I am a generous texter. Someone texts me a bunch of messages i will reply with a bunch of messages back. Like that's how you be a decent human being.

[CrazyGirl2]

Okay… spirit of honesty, I WAS gonna say NO! Because, you can’t really say ALL anything is only one way…. That being said, after seeing the screenshot of the text with the “Like This” message, YES! 100% that guy is NOT interested in anything the person on the right side had to say, like at ALL!
Anyone who ever texted me like this has WAY more important things to do than sit reading me going on about the weather!

[DonkeyDan]

Not always no, sometimes people are in the middle of something else and don't want to not answer so just give short and to the point answers. Some people i know are just like this and don't give elaborate answers to things. But yes sometimes I do feel like I'm getting the cold shoulder.

[NathanDavis]

to "interpret" is something I always avoid and try to never do

don't interpret and don't assume on your own

[Still-alive]

So you would keep talking to a person like in the pic?

[NathanDavis]

yes, I could...

a big part of a conversation can be, leading the conversation... sometimes you have to do that, in the case of this picture and with this person, these are very simple questions and they're also dull...

if you ask a YES or NO question... you will get YES or NO answers... and if you ask generic questions, you will get generic simple answers...

if you want a deeper or more dynamic conversation, then you have to become that... a genuine interest can lead you into an genuinely interesting conversation, so... for these situations I just try to find what's interesting for that person so they're more interested in the conversation

[Still-alive]

yeah i would have given up pretty quickly. conversation is a two way street after all. if they aren't putting any effort or interest in it then why should i?

[NathanDavis]

Yes, I understand that sometimes is just futile... when the other are just not interested AT ALL, however...

if they're still engaging, this might not be the case... it could be something else, for example, they could be extremely busy at the moment, they could be distracted, they could be feeling upset about something so to me... it's always worth to find out what's going or at least try to see what's going on

for example... with an ex-girlfriend of mine (and also one of my best friends) back then when I met them at age 20... they were both AWFULLY dry texters, and this was years and years ago, so texting was quite different, so... it was very very difficult for them to get into texting, especially with me... since they knew me well in real life, they just didn't like to text... lmfao

but I didn't take this a sign of them not being interested on me, after all... she became my girlfriend for years, and they're both still my close friends... ironically, nowadays we do text a lot more than we meet in person and texting has become our new normal, in a way

[ItsMeElliana]

yeah totally they just dont wanna talk to you or don't find the convo interesting, I'm just saying from my own experience when I used to get dms from people I'm not interested in or just find boring, I also used to ignore them sometimes but that's because I was talking to someone more interesting/important to me.

[Cherry234]

I don't think it's always disinterest or annoyance because some people are not the texting type. Or there could be other reasons like they don't feel like talking to you at the moment, the conversation isn't interesting to them, or they're really busy. But I interpret it as disinterest or annoyance most of the time

[Alyssa11]

Not really. I have a friend who texts like that but in real life she is the loudest most talkative person.

[Still-alive]

well thats one person though. what about other people? you wouldn't think that with them?

[Alyssa11]

I don’t really message a lot of people to be honest with you

[IAMNathanael]

If it's just short short short short every reply then I would probably think that. But I wouldn't always interpret it that way. Sometimes there's just not much to say.

[IAMNathanael]

And you won't always want to give a detailed response. That takes energy

[najekim]

Personally, I can't stand carrying on a conversation via text. Talk on the phone if you want a freaking conversation!

I use text for one line statements, asking a simple question with a 1-5 word answer, or sometimes to send a picture. Quick and easy stuff.

[SaoirseS]

You just had to get the word short in there, didn’t you? I’m onto you 👀😉

[Still-alive]

keep your socks on now ;)

yeah im riding that joke until its dead lol

[SaoirseS]

Lol. Socks are on, and I know you will 😀

[Still-alive]

socks are on... the rest of the clothes however.. hmm ;)

[SaoirseS]

I have a shirt on lol. Getting ready for bed.

[Still-alive]

good enough ;)

[SaoirseS]

😘❤️❤️❤️

[Still-alive]

sweet dreams sexy ;)

[Shamiah02]

Naw, i think that's an older person thing.
We keeps it short.

[Still-alive]

i dunno i see a lot of people your age here saying they would interpret it that way :P

[Shamiah02]

They probably not really my age🤷🏽‍♀️

[Richardhoard]

I am making a good salary from home $1200-$2500/week , which is amazing, under a year back I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it's my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,

Here is what I do... Goldmaker1. com

[Dude_777]

One word answers or one liners, sign of disinterest to continue conversations, if it happens on regular basis.

I don't talk to these people or the ones who take too long to reply, or do not put effort to talk. Waste of time and effort.

[red324]

You have to ask questions where they have to elaborate. Don't ask a question that can be answered with a simple yes or no response.

[Still-alive]

nah i refuse

[red324]

Well then there you go. Honestly though if they're doing that they aren't interested.

[MotorcycleMan]

It depends on the person and time. They might just be busy. I don't expect people to drop whatever they are doing to carry on a text conversation.

[menina]

Voted B. Sometimes they're busy or they're not feeling well. Or maybe they don't know how to carry a conversation.

[electromagnetic]

I don’t because I’m the loser the does that too. Simply because I don’t have enough time to sit and text essays.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

If they always like that, and just with you but not with others, then yes..
Worse is when they take hours/days to reply back... Noone THAT busy...

[Flower7]

Yes, I always see short replies as a bad sign and a lack of interest.

[stillagoodgirl]

it depends... if they're shy then maybe they are interested esp if they reply fast. Otherwise I'd take it as uninterested

[humanearth]

I never use the shit. As a matter a fact. I found a way to remove the text message software from cellphones. Frees up a lot of space

[Phoenix98]

If that’s all she ever sent then yeah.

otherwise I’d think things like maybe she’s busy, tired, etc

[cryscrys1]

If I got messages as this I would not even block them but buy a new phone

[Azura_88]

If it's happening like that in the above screenshot or regularly then yes, leave them alone.

[qwert1234]

If it's constantly like that, then I treat it as the person is not interested to me.

[EssenceOfLight]

B.
If it happens often, it means "go away"

[Joshua0213]

Id rather just talk in person so usually do short replies and never mean that

[noohair]

I have fat fingers and use one finger to type on the phone. It is tedious.

[PinkHamster]

I’d be very annoyed and leave the con

[Still-alive]

*pinkhamster has left the chat* :P

[PinkHamster]

Yeah.😂

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I don't do short replies but sometimes I will

[Still-alive]

you like to copy paste them i noticed :P

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Still-alive Yes sir hahahhaha

[Fuentes]

One words = end of conversation

[GhostMochi]

This is a really bad habit of mine tbh :(

[rienna888]

LOL she's clearlu not interested

[ChiPaPa]

Yup. I stop talking to them at that point.

[Wise4myage]

No, I actually like it.

[Buttonss]

Definitely

[ChiTown33]

Nope. Lol

[Likes2drive]

Sign of disinterest

[pink_and_inlove]

Yes usually

[Slim57]

Yeah I do
