Texting.... We all do it, whether we need to or not. Good or bad, we still do it. Personally, I love to text, but I also would rather talk on the phone; if you are the right person. =] I really don't text a lot of people, only important friends. Sometimes I text so much, my hand begins to hurt and cramp up lol. I think that when you're texting, you don't have to really engage in the conversation because the person on the other end can't really know how you're truly feeling. I mean you can use exclamation marks and etc... But say for example you are feeling sad but don't want the other person to know, you can put a smiley face and that person would never have a clue. 
Texting makes it possible for you to talk to multiple people, either through texting only multiple people, or texting one person and speaking to someone in person, etc... Texting is a nice ting to have, but all in all, I prefer to fully engage in one conversation with someone than text 24/7 with everyone. Sometimes, I look at texting like talking to someone, then pushing them aside until they respond, which I think can be rude if you look at it a certain way. 
Texting people are what basically every High School and now Jr. High School students are worried about. While they’re in class, kids worry about checking their phones to see if their friends wrote back. Not I must admit that I am guilty for checking my phone during class so I know first hand what I’m talking about, but it shouldn’t be like that. Texting is and has been the addiction of many and it is one that we will not break anytime soon no matter what.
It annoys me when someone wants to have a conversation through text.
ReplyDeleteTexting has taken over as the #1 means of communication -vs- actual phone conversations...or so it seems...good post

ReplyDeletemy hand cramps up too when im in a good texting conversation
ReplyDeleteHaha I've had a couple of hand cramps myself but your totally right you never know exactly how the person on the other end really feels.
ReplyDeleteKids can't even focus in class because their waiting to see what their friend is going to say when he or she writes back. And texting doesn't let people concentrate in anything their doing. Nice post.
