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.

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.
Educate me please, is this a real thing? Do people delay responses to act cool? In my day, extended chat conversations were a thing and kinda required immediate responses. Does nobody do that anymore?
Probably as long as Snapchat has existed. Especially since they were the first to show your little avatar peaking over the keyboard if you were in the chat at the same time.

Snapchat was absolutely not the first to add a "typing now" indicator
Youre old enough that chats didnt have a history, and if they waited long enough, you had to open a different message entirely to remember what you sent them!
Ah the times
I delay texts both reading and responding to not be a slave to my phone or to your whims. I don't owe you immediate gratification. Texts are really disruptive. About 40% of the time that thing you asked me that I didn't respond to you about took care of itself or you figured it out yourself and are maybe better for it.
If texts are disruptive then an unsolicited phone call is an affront to all creation
Sure. Treat them the same way. If you don't VM it's probably not important enough for me to call back. I'll Call you back when I'm driving, its a great time to talk. Also, you're not going to call me about as dumb as a thing as you are going to txt me. The threshold to interact this way is much higher, it's a natural BS screen.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's not that you don't get "immediate" feedback when somebody texts you... either by a sound or otherwise. Why wouldn't you respond to that if you have the time? Although I get it when somebody sends you a thousand messages (or voice ones) in a row. Then I also need a time out.
Oh, so I should be anxious about responding too soon or too late.
Cool, cool cool cool. Great, thank you
apology not accepted. weirdo
i feel like a lot of culture nowadays is questionable. a person with the fullest social calendar will still feel special if someone texts them the next day. 'i'm loved and wanted,' they'll think, even if they're annoyed and not interested in the person.
so, where is this energy coming from?
What kind of game is this?
Who is this
Michael Hall aka "Dexter"
Hardly know er!
Who is this
It's Will Forte in the role of Phil Tandy Miller in the tv-series The Last Man on Earth, in which he uses the "I hardly knew her" joke intensively throughout the series.
At first it's corny because it's a poor joke, but then he keeps doing it, so it becomes annoying, but then he keeps doing it, so it becomes funny, but then he keeps doing it, so it becomes annoying again.
