5 Signs You Are The Absolute Worst Person To Text

I've always been the type of person who prefers to text or email over phone calls or in-person conversation. Maybe it's my natural inclination to be introverted, or my unfortunate degree of social anxiety. Nonetheless, despite my preference of texting to vocal conversation, I am honestly the worst person to text, like ever.

And, trust me, I'm completely aware of it. I will forget to answer someone's text for hours, days, even weeks at a time. I'll forget to the point where responding two weeks later is just pointless.

And when I do remember to text back, my messages are so sporadic and all over the place that my conversations are just tiring for all parties involved.

1. You say "I'll answer that in a minute" when a notification pops up, but hours (or even days) pass and you have yet to answer the message.


I do this so often that it's borderline rude. Sometimes I don't even notice the notification because I get distracted so easily.

2. You interrupt a group chat's conversation to talk about something completely unrelated that only really concerns you personally.


My friends and I do this so often in our group-chat that we've begun to announce when we are doing it to avoid the inconvenience that it causes.

3. Instead of sending one, concise message - you send multiple short texts that ultimately tell a story, but in a really annoying fashion.


This might just be a style of conversation, but I send probably 15 short, fragmented texts rather than one cohesive message just to tell a story about the coffee I made.

4. You ignore phone calls, even watching it ring, only to text "what's up?" after the call ends.

4. You type out a long, deep message, only to delete it and send something lame like "omg" instead.

This happens when my friends and I are engaged in deep, emotional conversations and I type out a long, sensitive message that is honestly just me oversharing. So after forcing everyone to stare at that thought bubble for 10 minutes, I end up responding with an emoji or something useless.

So, are you the worst person to text or are you an absolutely normal, polite, and entertaining person to hold a conversation with? Let's talk about it, but I probably won't get back to you for another week, at least.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
