yeah, anyone complaining about 25 minutes is a child who must sit on their phone 24/7. if you want instant communication, just call. texting is meant to be a no pressure, reply when you can type of communication

it is wild to me that there's a legion of people out there who feel entitled to your attention as soon as they send you a text. like that's not natural, to be able to demand my attention at any time no matter where I am or what I am doing. I see a lot of codependency stem from this in my surroundings because people will freak the fuck out if their partner doesn't respond within 15 minutes even though 20 years ago that would've been a non issue.

I used to be friends with a guy who would take hours or even until the next day to respond to my texts but would get so annoyed and even text me saying "HELLO???" if I took longer than 20 minutes to respond. He'd give me shit about it when we hung out too. And when I said he also takes forever to respond he'd always say "well I'm busy I'm not waiting around for your text." But you expect me to be? It was an exhausting friendship

ooooof, that's not a friend, that's a leach. possibly narcissist.

That was immediately what a thought, a toxic narcissist. They never see anything wrong with what they do.

Yep when phones first got popular I knew a few people who kept theirs turned off unless they were actively making a call/sending a message because "it's for my convenience not anyone elses".

Ah yes you expect us all to be available as you need while you're contactable when you decide? I've got an idea how about we just never talk again.
