84) Texting Stereotypes

7/3/2017

Honestly, I hate text messaging. For instance, I cannot determine the person's reaction. Obviously, I can only see the words, letters, emojis, SMSs (Short Message Services), MMSs (Multimedia Messaging Services), GIFs (Graphics Interchange Formats), and any other type of text messaging on my phone.

Why you cannot determine person's reaction via text messaging?

An example of a SMS is "LOL." It stands for laughing out loud. "LOL" ends up as "LOS." "LOS" stands for laughing out silently. (I just made this up, unless it has already been used.) For instance, I received a text joke, during my work meeting. I quickly texted, "LOL." (Literally, I was not laughing out loudly. Only laughing in my mind. Why, so? Again, at a work meeting.)

​In this Day and Age, mostly everybody is texting each other.

At the top of my head, here is a list shown below of texting stereotypes: (Based on experience from myself, and others)
  • ​"So Focused" Texter - I am in my own bubble. So focused only between myself and phone. Ignoring my surroundings. For instance, taking a selfie, then texting it to somebody. Photo shown below.

  • Perfectionist Texter - I will not click on the "Send" button just yet. Why, so? I want it perfect from start to end. I keep reading and proofreading it, until I have reached my final draft.
  • Paragraph Texter - A very long, single text message consisting of 6 sentences or more.
  • Playa Texter - The sender keeps flirting.
  • Crybaby Texter - Takes things too seriously.
  • Immediate Texter - I just received a text. Now, I immediately reply.
  • Impatient Texter - I just sent a text. Now, I have been waiting for a reply. I am still waiting.
  • Copycat Texter - 3 hours later, I finally received a text from you. I will seek revenge, then. How, so? I will send you another text in 3 hours.
  • Overthinker Texter - I just texted you, but I fully regret it. (Too little, too late.) I must deal with a worst text. Why, so? No "undo" button in texting.
  • Persistent Texter - I will keep texting you, until you shut me down (or tell me to back off).
  • Overreacting Texter - Texting emojis more than words.
  • Worried Texter - I text you. 2 days later, I still have not heard from you yet. What happens now? I am calling you by phone.
  • "Save Time" Texter - Also known as "Short-Cut" Texter. For instance, I rather text, "K" than "Okay."
  • Lonely Texter - Only wants and needs attention. No text yet from friends, family, and relatives. So, finds somebody to text message on phone contacts. Uses that person as a "spare tire."
  • Ghost Texter - Initates me a text asking, "How's it going, bro?" Then, I answer. What happens after? No word from that person.
  • "Playing Games" Texter - I reply a text. No word yet. How do you know that somebody received your text? I just saw their recent social media post.

Which texting stereotype are you? If you have any other stereotypes, please comment below.

If I only want to connect, I would rather phone talk, FaceTime, or meet up with you.
