Does anybody else always find themselves sending large enthusiastic texts to people but don't usually receive such texts? (lemmy.world)

Large enthusiastic texts as in large texts about topics, you have common with the other person and enthusiastic about.

I am a person who prefers texts over calls. Maybe that might be the reason, the people I have in my circles are more into calls than texts.

But this happened with my online friends as well whose only mode of communication is via texts.

I used to have a friend who would do so but with the topics only he was interested in lol but I used to kinda act like I'm listening to him by asking small questions . He did try to complement my listening skills once. We used to chat for hours together. Sadly life moved on and he branched away from my friend circle (which is kinda non-existent rn because life ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯).

Or am I just too boring or loud? Is this a bad habit? Sometimes I can't stop making walls of texts. (Oops here I go again)

Side note: Subscribe to c[email protected] and help it grow. I wanted to make a post there but it was really dead. (It doesn't have to be a lemmy.world instance.)

I feel like I'm the only one who shares things I've been up to recently and usually the responses I get back are passive at best. Then when I intentionally stop messaging them and waiting for someone else to say something first the group chat dies down for a week. I feel like it's time to move on and leave these "friends" behind.
