    Huh? 🤨

    I guess my texting style depends how much I enjoy talking to the person. I usually get bored with texting and don't have much to say. I can text my best friend all day long though and always have something to say to him. Then there's some people I'll take 5 days to reply to.

    I find it is better than phone chat say what you want and leave it like that if you want

    I text friends and family to give details on happenings, see if someone is available for a gab session, pass on data. I have my devices well trained to my voice, so I do a lot of voice to text... because I have fat fingers when it comes to device KBs! lol OH, and I'm 67.

    What if the text was followed by a delivery of whoopie pies?

    No one turns down whoopie pies.

    55 and I prefer text or email to talking on the phone. I can respond at my convenience and communication is usually brief.

    My 80 yr old father quite likes texting too, although brevity isn't his style.

    I think you should try calling instead.

    I like to talk about religion and politics with people on the phone who agree with all my views. We both commiserate emotionally about the state of the world and I like to hear the yelling and swearing and meltdowns. So it has to be a phone call. If it's just boring matter of fact stuff, texting is ok.

    I thought this thread was about texting, not AOL chat rooms.

    I don't call or text much, honestly. I feel like a burden when I do so. But I definitely text more than I call (I have bad phone anxiety). I am not one to use "chat speak", I text just like this. Especially with having a smartphone. It just makes it so easy.

    I'm autistic and have social anxiety, so texting is a godsend. Given a choice, I'll pretty much always choose to text rather than call, although I mostly insist on full, grammatically correct sentences. I'm 35.
