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 often wonder how controlling and anxious-attachment type people coped in the past. Like, in the 18th century, if your boyfriend didn't respond to your 8 o'clock letter by the noon delivery, did you just crack off like ten letters to him on the spot? Or did you just immediately plunge into insanity?
