Imagine caring if someone texts you back immediately. Real maturity is recognizing that most adults have other things going on and can’t/won’t be glued to their phone all day long.
Also, I’m happy to text asap if we’re planning something. If you’re shooting me texts to small talk, I’m happy to chat, but you have to understand that I’ll probably only start chatting when I’m really free if it’s not important.
You’ve got it backwards. Read the post again.
My comment mostly has to do with the ‘mature’ part, implying that the mature thing to do is to text someone back immediately. And conversely, not texting back immediately is immature.
That said, reading comprehension is not always my strong suit, so fair play. Me brain no work so good.
Yeah but like instantly instantly is weird. You kind of expect there to be a period where they free their hands, then check the message, then weigh up whether it warrants a conversation right now, then think what to say, then type it. Could take 30 seconds, could take 3 hours if they’re fully busy and you get sidelined.
A reaponse in 2 seconds from cold open always sets me off balance.
I mean, personally it’s because I don’t get a lot of messages in the first place, and most of the time I’m just lost in my thoughts and not actively busy so it’s a nice change of pace. Now, even I’ll admit 2 seconds is a little short, but I’m often ready with a response within 10

I’d have used cookie monster.
As someone who often comes on too strong in the whole friendship thing I recently met someone who is that x10 and I understand how jarring it can be to have a friend who is rather extra.
apology not accepted. weirdo
Yeah i bet they’re on their phone allll the time just waiting for a reply.
I didn’t mean to be a good friend.
What kind of game is this?
One you can’t win.
You loose if you text back immediately, and you loose if you don’t.
