Texting

Agreed. Fine and you? Is such a conversation killer. I dread phone calls and texts that have people on the other end who say they want to talk but leave the conversation direction upto me and I’m left wondering bhai call kyun kya, I was having more fun doing something else. Like I’ve had legit blank spaces in convo when people call up and keep asking how am I, what I did today and I literally can only think of saying aaj main nay fry ki jaga omelette khaya as the only notable thing. The person initiating contact really needs to be more proactive and make their convo less mundane idle chitchat. I only text when I remember something of their likes and dislikes like if I see their favourite book being adapted into a movie or had food they recommended or just to tell them that I was thinking of them (a better alternative to how are you though you can still word it better to make it less chummy chummy).

But then even fine. Shouldn’t take time to text even if they take time to find something more wittier to say. Not replying at all is rude.

I haven’t done a comparison but i feel less people reply on forums to people than text messages. Even when you know they are online and posting threads. You may have sent them a private message saying Eid Mubarak or something else but they don’t always reply. Even many months down the line. They may have even mentioned they received an Eid mubarak message from people yet for some reason they may never reply back to you.
I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. But even if you don’t know the person and they are an unknown internet stranger how long does it take to reciprocate a simple action? If you’re not active and don’t log in for 10 months fair enough. But if you actively post how long does it take to reply.

It is disappointing.
