How in tf do people get distracted from texting conversations these days? I have more shit going on than most people I know and I am the 1 usually carrying on the conversation until the other person just drops off

I was just in the middle of a rapid back and forth conversation and these 2 people with nothing to do seem to have gotten distracted. what are female faggots doing these days that they get distracted? i know guys are playing video games

jeez, there is so little to do these days idk how people can't focus on a fucking conversation. there ain't shit going on on the internet if it isn't private chat these days anyway.

People prefer texting so as to not be drawn into a long tedious conversation. You’ve found a way to make texting tedious.

I've got real life shit to do. Texting is fucking annoying, and email is worse. I'd rather space out at the wall than carry on text-based conversations with people. If someone wants to talk, they can call me.

If I'm cleaning up the house, making food, or driving I don't give a shit who texts me. That shit can wait. Sometimes even if I ain't really doing much I'll let a text simmer for a couple minutes to think about it's real intent and how I want to respond. I'm probably not the average specimen. Aside from all that, have you considered that they don't think you're as important as you think you are?

I honestly hate going through an hour of texting when it's something a five minute phone call could resolve. Shit, back in the day I had a pager. That involved stopping at a payphone and making sure you had coins for the call. Sometimes I think it was better back then.

it probably was better back then. I was thinking this texting vs calling thing, and i think the 90's level of convenience was the magic amount, not too much, not too little. and the technology matched what the human brain really wanted.

have you considered that they don't think you're as important as you think you are?

that's not really applicable in this situation, so yes i considered that before I even sent the message. I wouldn't talk to someone acting like a faggot like that in the first place.

to say the same thing another way, you're implying here that people would give important things the attention they need anyway. I know a faggot who got his electricity shut off twice because he didn't pay attention to important shit. and he ate shit hard on that

Maybe you’re boring?🤣

My thought too but I'm too polite to express it.

Maybe I'm just an old fart, but I have a firm rule: no conversations over text.

Banter between friends, shopping lists and pick up times for the kids with the spouse. "I love you." with the family. But no 'conversations'. Either I'll ignore or I'll pick up the phone and call if family/friends try to initiate a conversation.

It's simpler that way.

socially texts inherently are meant as a "get to this later"

Because I know you suck jewish cock. I hate the jews and we have absolutely nothing in common. I don't care that you licked some jews feet, bowed to some jew, or bought the latest jew item.

We have nothing in common. You like jews, I do not.

You do have time. You're just spending it on other things.

No one texts me; emails me or 'phones me 'cos no-one likes me!

Break your phone. If you have so much going on, you're wasting your time on meaningless texting. By the way, who the hell are you? You've been here for just four days. You have nothing to say here.

I know some people do it as a way to just move on to something else, but I have a shit attention span being a millennial. I’m sorry.
