I'm a bad texter, I get it. I also get that it's 2019, which means we live in a world solely revolved around technology as our mode of communication. Call me old fashioned but I don't want to have to rely on my phone to interact with people. So if you're dealing with a bad texter or are one yourself (bless your heart), here are 11 things that may sound like you.

1. People are surprised and celebrate when you responded less than 24 hours later.

2. You get the "Are you alive?" texts. All the time.

Giphy

It's fine, I'm fine.

3. People think of creative ways to get in touch with you.

Giphy

I.E. telegrams; snail mail, or in extreme situations, pigeons.

4. People never understand why you don't "just respond".

Giphy

5. At the end of the day, they know you just won't.

Giphy

It's fine, I'm fine.

6. You start to get a reputation.

Giphy

7. You're a bad texter but great in person.

Giphy

This is SUCH a big mood for the bad-texter people of the world. People assume that being a bad texter= a bad friend. I'm here to tell you that just because we aren't the most technologically reliable doesn't mean we won't be there in a heart beat for our friends.

8. You come back days (or weeks) later trying to continue the conversation.

It doesn't last long, though. People catch onto your trick really quickly and it never ends well.

9. People think by telling you to do better, it'll magically fix everything.

Giphy

Thank you Captain Obvious, I never thought of that. *Insert eye roll Emoji*.

10. Every year, your New Years resolution is to become a better texter.

Giphy

At least you don't have to think of any other resolutions you probably would break too.

11. With all said (or not said) and done, they love you anyway.

Giphy

Hopefully. Maybe a little bit.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
