[InTheFridge]

Keep in mind this is my Fe/Ti judging function writing all of this. Judging is not my primary mode of living and the actual moment-by-moment self is much more flexible, variant based on mood/situation/emotions, and careful with the emotions of others.

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?

If unsolicited/unexpected: Assuming both are quick and for informational purposes, I prefer a phone call. If it isn't to-the-point and information-based, I dislike both equally. Conversational texts annoy more more than conversational phone calls.

If solicited/expected: either one is fine, but probably still a phone call (assuming both parties know how to say goodbye).

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?

No.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?

I always reply to informational texts. I usually reply to all others.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?

I reply quickly to information requests. I take my time with conversational texts.

When would you reply instantly to a message?

If I know it's not going to lead to more conversation, if I think the person has no emotional investment in the wording/timing of my response, and if I'm not already engaged in some other activity or with another person.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?

If I'm with another person or am doing something, if it's a group text, if I have another goal (like going to bed). If we're talking permanent ignore of a message, most group texts. There's a specific friend I don't respond to because he rarely reads my messages even when he initiated the conversation. He honestly doesn't care if I respond or not. Once i ignored a text from a friend that put me in a catch-22 situation. No matter what i said, it would make me look like a bad guy. He just wanted to get his way. I'm not going to play along with games like that, so i ignored. Other than that, I don't intentionally ignore texts (even though a lot of times I want to)

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?

If you're a love interest or significant other. In this case, it doesn't matter how we communicate, I will enjoy it. Pretty much everything I've said flies out the window. That person does not have rules or structures. They are my person. They have all access pass.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?

Texting conversations.

Do you expect others to reply to your text?

In theory, I don't think I have a right to expect people to be accessible by phone. But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't at least a little frustrating to have a text ignored/forgotten (since sending a text in the first place takes time and effort). If it's informational (where are we meeting? what time do you leave? what's ___'s address) then I would hope for a response. If a conversational one goes ignored, I'll have a little argument in my head until I can shut myself up and give them the benefit of the doubt.

How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text?

Completely depends on the situation.

How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?

Instant replies are nice. Instant replies with follow-up questions that go on 2 or 3+ times gets a bit stressful (because I'm simultaneously trying to stop texting and look out for their feelings through a one dimensional mode of communication).

Edit: I forgot about this. There was one year when I completely blocked texting on my phone because I found it too annoying. Then my phone broke and I didn't get a new one for 6 months after because I was enjoying not having it.

 

[RangerJoe]

I just don't

 

[InTheFridge]

I just don't

This is an accurate summary of what I wrote.

 

[UraniaIsis]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?
I prefer texting. Texting enables the other party and I to emote expressions and feelings. If I forget any detail, the info is right at my fingertips. I do enjoy phone calls, but I need to see a person in front of me to 'read' them. Engaging just my auditory senses does not help me retain the memory of the conversation nor save my full attention for the person with whom I'm speaking. If almost all of my senses aren't anchored in the conversation, I can be easily distracted.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?
Facetime with others hands down.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?
Yes I do, unless my signal reception is bad.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?
As soon as I can, usually if I can pick up a good signal and I'm not driving or working.

When would you reply instantly to a message?
Within five minutes of receiving the text.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?
Never done either, but I haven't had any ex-relations either.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?
I can monitor what I say and I can 'read' the person through their text. Besides, if I forget an important piece of info I will have the text for reference.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?
When the texts are not any longer than one word. "Yeah", "uh-huh", "sure", "uh-huh", "ok"...zzz.

Edit: Do you expect others to reply to your text? How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text? How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?
If it's a question text, yes I expect a reply. If it's just an informational text then no. It doesn't bother me if someone doesn't respond to my text, as long as I wasn't asking a question. It wouldn't bother me if someone keeps instantly replying as long as the text contain decent content.

 

[Chris Merola]

I prefer texting in most cases, I like to organize my thoughts and word things eloquently on my own time. The way the conversation stews and evolves throughout the day is satisfying.

I don't webcam or facetime with others, but I do skype calls with a few friends from time to time.

I almost always reply within a very reasonable amount of time, especially if its a romantic interest. I very rarely ignore a message unless its from a guy friend and I know its not meant to evolve into a conversation. I'll only take time responding if I am very busy, I honestly feel like I reply too quickly, only a quarter of the people I talk to respond quicker than I do in reciprocation.

Like I said, I reply quickly, but if someone needed a quick favor or some help, I would respond even more quickly.

The only time I've completely ignored a series of messages was when I door slammed my INFP ex who was harassing me.

An enjoyable conversation can involve - communication of ideas and experiences/memories, intellectual debate or comparison, sending of MBTI related links or quizzes and receiving results, (I must have gotten 100 people to take the humanmetrics MBTI test by now) expression of affection, (love interests) giving or receiving advice, sharing recent experiences and insights and getting feedback.

A boring text conversation involves none of the above. It has no focus, mutual interest, or anything meaningful or even entertaining involved.

I usually expect a response from my texts. If a romantic interest ignores a message, it feels like communication is being rejected, and I do take it as a personal affront. This is within reason, of course. A few messages can be missed, but if I send a message of decent length expressing myself and it is blown off, it stings. Trying to start conversations that don't pick up steam or get a response is agitating, but any negative emotion doesnt stick past a half hour or an hour.

If someone constantly replies, I will wonder what it means about the person or their interest in me, and I will keep responding at a constant rate and match theirs. It leads to much lost time; I am most definitely my least assertive over text. I remember last summer a close friendship between an INFJ and I fizzled out because both her and I couldn't be rude and stop responding so we texted constantly for weeks to the point of co dependency and when school came around she straight up ran away, lol.

[FreeKekistan]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?
Texting. Especially for difficult and heavy subjects. I am terrible at talking over the phone hard life stuff.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?
Nope. I rather not. Stick to texting.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?
I usually. Mostly. If I don't respond is either because I find the other person uninteresting or I am not feeling so well. Sometimes I respond after a few weeks. I know it confuses people.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?
I take my time. Unless it's funnies, sexy texting and stuff like that. For anything philosophical it takes some time to cover all the subject.

When would you reply instantly to a message?
When it's short, funny or from a person that I care about.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?
When the person is boring, has hurt me or is annoying.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?
Something interesting that I have not thought about. Something that is related to NF fields. Something deep and mind stimulating. Also some sexting without vulgarity. Wordplay is on the list too.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?
Boring people, boring answers, boring ideas. Avoidance of the subject. Short answers like "K" after writing a long message make me want to strangle people.

Edit: Do you expect others to reply to your text? How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text? How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?
I expect answers. If someone does not answer I tend to not send messages anymore for a long time. If someone answers right away I feel very good and comfortable.

 

[Nojz]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?
Texting, except if I'm in a really good/chatty mood - then I'm calling everybody up in here.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?
I've learned to not mind it if I can see myself meanwhile. The thought of how my face looks when I'm not aware of it is somehow uncomfortable to me, so I rarely do anything constructive on the computer while camming.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?
I check who it's from within a couple of minutes, and then I usually spend a second or two making my mind up if it's dire enough to need a reply now or if it can wait five minutes extra. Sometimes those five minutes turn into eternity if it's someone I'm not too keen about.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?
If it ain't urgent, I ain't rushing.

When would you reply instantly to a message?
If it's important or if I know exactly how to reply without thinking about my answer first.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?
If I don't like you or don't know how to reply to what you've written.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?
You using decent punctuation, me liking you, or us having something actually interesting to talk about.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?
I'm not a big fan of small-talking just for the sake of small-talking.

Edit: Do you expect others to reply to your text? How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text? How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?
It stresses me out if someone is too eager in a conversation and I constantly feel like the ball is on my court. Part of the enjoyment of texting, for me at least, is the anticipation of what you're going to say next. Stall it for a second, holmes.

 

[Eurydice]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?
Well I hate both of them because I can't see the facial expression and I am very nervous. Let's say "texting" because I can take the time to think before I give an answer.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?
No. If we want to speak let's do it face to face. There are more interactions (touch, mime etc)

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?
Yes.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?
I always need to take my time to the point that I can be very slow. I only want to give the best answer I have.

When would you reply instantly to a message?
If it's a life threatening matter or a very silly subject.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?
If it's SPAM or insults

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?
Nothing.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?
Gossiping to be mean

Edit: Do you expect others to reply to your text? How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text? How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?
No, if it is not about a very important subject. I am slow, so others can be too.
I don't care.
I don't care but I hate when people text me a lot. I need time to think and reclusive periods. That would disturb me and annoy me.

 

[dream930718]

Please give your own subjective standpoint:

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?
Texting, but deep into the relationship lengthy phone calls can be memorable.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?
No...

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?
Yes, unless the conversation has explicitly ended, or very explicitly, implicitly ended. ( i wonder if you know what i mean...)
Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?
I can reply instantly, call me addicted but I've been told I give instantaneous replies. Unless you're texting me about something I dread or I don't really like you or I'm really busy studying or what not...ie banned phone in class
When would you reply instantly to a message?
As long I'm allowed to touch my phone, I'm bored or I enjoy talking to you or the subject matter of conversation interests/excites me.
When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?
When i'm pissed at the person.
What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?
The recipient of the texter is important, I enjoy texting people who puts in equal or at least, reasonable amount of effort to keep up the conversation, especially since I give more than I take. I enjoy deep conversations about what you think/observe about life and the society. Humorous conversations are welcome and of course...juicy gossip ( not going to lie!)
What makes a texting conversation boring for you?
If I'm always the one bringing in conversation and engaging the other party. I'll feel tired and drained soon. If the tone of the message is very dead, or the message is always significantly shorter than mine ( to the point you seem like you don't care)

Do you expect others to reply to your text?
Ideally with similar vigor as how i respond to you.
How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text?
Depends on who. If it is done too often I think i will give up entirely lol.

How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?
Appreciated and thankful actually. But this needs to be combined with other factors to pass judgement.

note :
Although I do enjoy talking to my very close friends, I am very different with acquaintances. I get awkward and do not know what to reply. I have my own downtime when I can be sick of the human population and not reply.
I care for my friends a lot thus the instant responses. I may get quite sensitive when someone is less responsive than usual and my intuitive brain will run wild with wilder assumptions, lol...

 

[NotAlone]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls? I much prefer texting.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others? I do like facetiming but that only goes for people I am super close to. I actually only facetime really one person.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages? In the end yes.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding? If its a quick 'yes' or 'no' I do but usually I overthink it and ponder upon what I am going to reply with and sometimes take hours to respond. This really hits hard when I am texting a girl that I like.

When would you reply instantly to a message? When my best friend wants to hang out or just say 'hi!'.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone? This generally happens to me at work, but if a email comes in or I am super overwhelmed or even annoyed by the person I wont respond very fast at all, sometimes I will never respond.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you? When the convo gets into deep subjects and we talk about life and the meaning of.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you? Small talk, I find it super hard to keep a conversation going when there is lots of small talk going on.

 

[cercatrice]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls? Texting, definitely.
Do you like to webcam/facetime with others? Not if I can avoid it.
Do you always/usually reply to your messages? If the person clearly needs social support or an answer, always. If the message isn't interesting, I only respond about half the time. An interesting message will always prompt a response, though.
Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding? I don't mind taking my time.
When would you reply instantly to a message? Definitely, if the conversation was interesting.
When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone? You're annoying me, or the message was too dull to bother responding to. Something along the lines of, "It's hot today!"
What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you? I want to be able to easily read what you're trying to say. Don't be dull.
What makes a texting conversation boring for you? Short responses or not leading the conversation anywhere. When someone relies on you to carry the entire conversation.
Do you expect others to reply to your text? How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text? How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts? If I text you with a question, yes. Otherwise, I don't really mind. Texts are meant to be informal. If you continue to do it to me, I'll stop messaging someone who clearly isn't wanting to talk. Instant responses don't bother me at all if you don't expect me to respond as quickly.

 

[Vahyavishdapaya]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?

Texts are so much better. I express myself best through the written word. Texts give me the opportunity to do just that. I can think about what I want to say before I say it.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?

No. I find this invasive and strange. If you want to look at my face that badly, then come visit me in person. We can share spliffs and laughs and ideas and all sorts of great things, if you would but put down your telecommunication device, hop on that A-28 and drive down to the G.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?

Usually. Sometimes I postpone writing replies if it would be too much effort.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?

I usually reply to a text as soon as I notice I have been messaged and have framed a suitable answer.

When would you reply instantly to a message?

If I am using my phone at the instant somebody messages me. If I have initiated the conversation and am waiting for a reply.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?

If they're stupid. If I don't like them. If I don't know who sent it. If they are making an unreasonable request.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?

What I like about texting is that I am given time to clarify and organise my thoughts, and express them in an eloquent manner.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?

If the subject of the conversation is not one of my interests and/or is not something I am interested in learning about.

Do you expect others to reply to your text?

No, people are busy. What makes me so special as to throw my toys out the pram if they don't instantly drop whatever they're doing and focus their complete attention on my text?

How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text?

Normally I am very secure in myself and either don't care, or rationalise it (by thinking things like, obviously something must have come up, this person isn't ignoring me deliberately). Though sometimes you can just tell when a person is ignoring you, doesn't like you, and doesn't want to talk to you. And that obviously can hurt. Why would anybody dislike me? I'm fucking awesome.

If somebody persistently takes a looong time to reply then I would stop messaging them. It can be really confusing and off putting when you get a text and you reply straight away and the person doesn't reply back. What? You have the phone with you, arsehole, and you're not busy either because you just sent me a text.

How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?

This has never happened before for any prolonged period. I mean obviously there are many situations where you expect and get instant replies, but if it continues for a few days, a week, then I would be confused and also irritated at having to constantly reply to an individual's inane observations and ramblings. What does this person want from me? Enough with the preambles, communicate your desire forthwith, or stop annoying me.

 

[septic tank]

1. I don't really have a preference; it usually depends on what the other person likes or what I'm doing. I have one friend who hates texting so I always phone him. I have another who prefers texting so I text him if I'm not in the middle of a video game, or if I'm not too lazy to type. I think I'm am to say things more clearly through text, however.

2. Only with close friends.

3. Only if I like the other person, known them for a long time, or if I haven't met them before. If I find you boring or creepy I won't respond.

4. Depends on what medium I'm using. If I'm on a forum, or get something that's kind of like an email, I'll take a while to craft out a response. If I'm texting or IMing, I will usually reply instantly without much thought. If I see a message from someone I'm interested in I will usually start typing a reply instantly.

5. Definitely if it's a close friend, or someone I'm interested in.

6. See 3.

7. If it's not small talk, or someone who can contribute to the conversation with something other than just one "lol".

8. Small talk and superficial replies.

9. I guess so. Most people reply... and I don't start many conversations with strangers so...

10. Depends on the person. If it's a close friend I start thinking, "Waaah why won't you talk to meee." *gets clingy* If it's an aqquaintance then I think, "Ah, whatever."

11. If someone instantly replies to my texts and I like them, then I think, "Cool, found a new friend." ... Confession: I don't mind clingy people because I'm clingy myself. x.x

 

[gandr.in]

Please give your own subjective standpoint:
In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?

Texting. Phone calls scare me sometimes.. texting lets me have time to form my messages.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?

Not really.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?

Yes unless I really do not want to reply.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?

Depends, usually I reply quickly if I have something to say right away. I only take time to show my unhappiness with the way the convo is going, or if I am hesitating on what I want to say.

When would you reply instantly to a message?

When the convo is going along really well and I'm feeling comfortable~

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?

When I'm upset, not sure what to say, not interested in the way the convo is going or actually dislike the person. If I'm busy I will always let it be known and apologise or sth.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?

When we're talking about something funny that we both get or topics that are interesting to both sides.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?

When it's clear that the other person doesn't get my point/my joke most of the time. I will get annoyed if the person especially pretends to get it when they don't.

Edit: Do you expect others to reply to your text?
Yes. Unless it's the end of a convo.
How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text?
If it's a person I care about, I would start overthinking about what's wrong. I might send another text to see if anything's wrong. Sometimes I sit back and wait for the reply because I don't want to be pushy...
How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?
Assume that the person is interested in what I have to say and that we both have a lot of common topics!

 

[Klaro26]

@xdae

Hahaha, I like it that Ne seems equally adept at overanalyzing these things this way

okay so..

1. I like both texts and calls. But don't overdo calls and don't speak excessively especially if you have nothing in particular to say- it can make me annoyed.
2. I do like webcam, but I only do it with a few people- family, boyfriend and closest friends.
3. I do reply. Sometimes I might be busy and not notice a message or forget about it, but it rarely happens.
4. I usually do reply quickly. I used to be slower when younger, but since I've started living in more than one places texts keep relationships alive in my life.
5. I can reply instantly at any time, as I am people attuned. Sometimes though, I migh be busy or not in the mood.
6. I don't usually ignore texts, I sometimes answer later because of either being very busy with something, annoyed at the person and to be fair, sometimes when dating and not sure about the other's feelings to kind of seem not too obssessed. )
7. I like texting people I care about or am interested in and I enjoy being there when someone needs me. However, sometimes when too many people complain and need me for something, it can get too much.
8. Boring would be texts with no particular reason, as in talking just for the sake of talking.

 

[Alexis89]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls? Texting--I dislike talking on the phone.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others? No

Do you always/usually reply to your messages? I do and within 24 hours.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding? It depends--I try and respond to text messages as soon as I get them, but if it's one that's hard to respond to, I may wait. If I need alone time, I won't respond immediately. That said, I dislike leaving a person hanging.

When would you reply instantly to a message? Most of the time.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone? I might drag my feet if its something confrontational. It rarely happens though.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you? When its an interesting conversation, talking to a close friend/family member or when I want to chat.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you? When you try to have a conversation with someone and they respond with "ok" or "cool" or something similar.

 

[petite libellule]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?
Depends. Depends on the person and it depends on the purpose.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?
I FaceTime my son every night. It matters. I have no desire however to base an entire relationship w/ such a limited medium to connect. However if left w/that and phone calls, I much rather see someone's face for feedback. I really feel completely burnt in the long distance arena. Too much room for error and deadly miscommunications.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?
Yes. Unless I'm recharging and needing alone time (minus a significant other. I would still respond to them albeit aloofish though I would say why).

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?
I typically take my time unless I'm hurt and react angry

When would you reply instantly to a message?
See above.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?
when I feel like there's no point anymore. That the other person is not willing or wanting to hear me. Sadness.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?
witty banter! Or being silly or fun questions with each other. Or to solidify plans.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?
Any convo really because a conversation should be over phone or in person or even email. Texting a conversation is lame and just irritates me if it drags too much. If I'm stuck in that I assume the other party doesn't want to talk to me for whatever the reasons and if they matter to me, this will cause anxiety. It'll irritate me they just don't call.

Edit: Do you expect others to reply to your text? How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text? How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?
If they always instantly reply with no variation what so ever = ick, are they desperate or obsessed? If they don't reply I don't care. I've plenty to occupy my mind.

If I'm in a fun and flirty banter mode, and they drop out of nowhere, I'll hope for some explanation and a clean ttyl or something - if I don't get that I'll determine it to be reflective of their level of interest and shrug it off. My interest level with naturally pace theirs.

This is me now however. 5 years ago my texting habits might have differed. The older you get the less you really give a fuck about bullshit like texting analysis.

 

[staciapriscilla]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?

texting...

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others?

facetime.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages?

no. i take a really long time to reply to messages, which frustrates the heck out of everyone.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding?

see above

When would you reply instantly to a message?

when i'm not mentally or emotionally preoccupied and is actually having the phone in my hand

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone?

when i'm not mentally or emotionally prepared to respond to the inquiry/message/story at hand

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you?

when it's rich and engaging to the person as well as to me. when we find lots of common ground, a mix of lighthearted chit chat with a sense of security to share how we think/feel about something important to us

What makes a texting conversation boring for you?

when the person doesn't ask questions and/or replies with as little words as possible, or overall just doesn't seem to seek friendship from me as much as I do from the person

Edit: Do you expect others to reply to your text? How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text? How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts?

yes, especially if it's my intent to bond from text messaging. i rarely text people first so it's really important to me. i usually give a silent door slam (no confrontation, no nothing), but if the person show up in my life again really showing that our relationship/friendship was important to the person's life, i might consider opening the door again ... though i won't be as "available" as I did before.

On the other hand... when someone keeps replying to my texts instantly, the person seems too desperate. it'll take me much, much longer to respond to the person each time ...

 

[CuriousGemini]

In general, do you prefer texting or phone calls?
texting, phone calls make me so nervous unless its with someone like a close friend. The upside to phone calls is that its easier to read tones... so its kind of like a double edge sword for me.

Do you like to webcam/facetime with others? not really. makes me feel like im being stared at.

Do you always/usually reply to your messages? i try to. but sometimes ill read a message, and then forget to respond. or think i responded and find out later that i didn't lol.

Do you try to reply quickly to your messages or do you sometimes take your time in responding? depends on whats being talked about. typically im pretty quick to respond, but i also tend to only give out the ways to contact me to good friends...

When would you reply instantly to a message? if its a friend. as long as im not needing to be alone to recoup myself i always respond fast to friends.

When would you ignore a message or not reply to someone? if im mad at someone, or if i just dont feel like talking at that point of time. also if they ask me a question that requires me to think on it for a bit.

What makes a texting conversation enjoyable for you? *shrugs* this is kind of hard to answer, my interests are pretty vast so most conversations can keep me tied into a convo.

What makes a texting conversation boring for you? if i dont understand whats going on or the topic at hand. like if someone starts talking about how computers or cars work ill be interested up until i dont understand whats being said.

Edit: Do you expect others to reply to your text? How do you react if someone doesn't respond to your text? How do you react if someone keeps instantly replying to your texts? i dont always expect people to respond but if its been 24 hours since i sent a message i'll send another one poking them to see if they'll respond in case they just forgot.
