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.
You’re thinking too much. Instant responses are not weird. Am I supposed to just wait for a bit so that youre wheels don’t start turning in the most un charitable direction.

Hey if thats something you all came up with thats just being courteous / conscientious of your friends needs / preferences.
Nobody owes anybody anything man do what you want. Its still weird though. Like when you knock a door and they answer it immediately because they were stood right there. You dont expect it.
I agree that would be weird. Difference is a person is holding their phone throughout the day. Its not a good comparison cause the behavior of standing by the front door waiting for it to knock is unusual behavior.
Strange photo to use for this post
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.
Oh, so I should be anxious about responding too soon or too late.
Cool, cool cool cool. Great, thank you
Or posting on-time, yet being too short, or too detailed; Play it cool, but speak fire… keep it light, yet deep.
I either respond within 3s, or two days later. There is no in between.
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.
