Are you annoyed?

Im tired of my friends gaslighting me. I want to hear if a friend taking eleven days to respond to a text is normal or unusual.

No, that's about how long it takes me to respond to someone's text.

If they don't respond the same day, they don't care or they're dodging you.

That isn't a friend, obviously.

If it's important enough that you want a response... call.

A text with an 11-day wait... or a phone call that gets an immediate response. Which is more time efficient?

Often times if I dont want an actual conversation, I just text a question for an update.

And honestly, it wouldnt bother me much if folks didnt address the lack of responding with My bad! I was busy!.

Like, you were busy for 264 hours?

Eh I kinda agree but all humans do things that matter to us and we prioritize. At the end of the day some people are bad texters and responding isn't a priority to them. It's up to the individual how they perceive stuff like this, right?

I text my mom right now and she'll respond within five minutes. My best friend will not see any of my texts until tomorrow night at the earliest lol.

But eleven days ? Get the fuck outta here. That person ain't thinking about you bro.

Dude, this is what I try to say. Its okay. I dont care if you prioritize other things. Especially during the holidays.

But dont act like Im crazy if I observe Im not a priority. My rule is that I try to respond to anyone texting me within 24 hours. I think thats fair.

But some people really think I was busy is a good excuse. Just say I forgot to text back at the very least. Fuck lol.

I'd cut that person off tbh.

11 days isnt a theyre still waiting on responding

its a they read your text when they werent available to respond, and then forgot

I wouldnt be too upset about it tbh. If it was something you needed to get an answer on you shouldve followed up a day or two later

Yes, that is bad. Even if they dont intend it to be bad, it is still disrespectful in terms of their negligence.

I will not be close friends with someone like that, and it is a HUGE red flag with dating. That gives you an idea of their awful communication skills.

If it only happens once, I'd give them a pass. But if they have a habit of not responding for over a week, then I'd be annoyed.

That's actually surprising to hear about you. She probably thinks you ghosted her at this point lol

It happens. My depression makes it exhausting at times to talk one on one with people even if it's just through DMs or texts.

I've got PMs to send here, messages on other boards, texts to reply to. I know it seems trivial to just do it, but...sometimes it is too much if I'm in a bad place and/or life is dumping problems left and right on me.
And I'd never do it but it's not a joke; I can't tell the difference when I'm all alone // https://www.last.fm/user/crushedaria

So behave differently? This isn't rocket science to figure out.

its not about behaving differently. It's about feeling like it and i don't at the moment. I'll get back when i get back... unless it's an emergency. I do understand the ramifications of this type of behavior with some people.

Be real though, you ain't really feeling this chick. If a shorty that you absolutely know gave you the green light, you ain't waiting eleven days unless you have better prospects or you don't really care for her lol.

...as you post on Gamefaqs.

This is why there aren't any standard excuses for not responding. Death of a loved one, major accidents, etc are obvious exceptions.

This, pretty much. I don't know how anyone can have notifications and not reply. I have to reply instantly.

If it takes you longer than a day to find the time to send a quick message, and there isn't a valid excuse for it, then your modern phone etiquette sucks.

for me, it's effortless to post on FAQs. For text, idk there's this kind of intimate space that i have to enter that's off putting to me. It actually gives me a lot of anxiety to the point that I just put it off. It's usually not about me being busy. Kinda sucks, the older I get get, the more emotionally unavailable I get or the more anxiety digital communication gives me with actual people. Gamefaqs takes 0 effort/intimacy lol.
I am surprised to hear that it gives you anxiety. You seem so confident.

Although I think it's mostly this unless it happens quite frequently. Sometimes I read it when I'm busy but forget to respond when I'm not busy, but usually I realize the next day at the latest.

It's pretty obvious you want a response. And you want it on your timetable. That's the job of a phone call. Otherwise, you hand the response time over to the other person.

And they can respond *any time they want.*

If it happens once it could be unintentional. Like they read the message, intend on replying but get distracted and then just forget about it. Happens sometimes.

If it happens all the time it's safe to say you're probably just not that high on their priority list.
