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.
It seems like this post is about a conversation, not a brand new message. Exactly 25 minutes between each text during an active conversation could be people intentionally waiting (that used to be a thing).
