Yes I’m
a texter and not ashamed to admit it. Texting has become a huge part of our era.
I know it’s not the best way to communicate with someone but it’s honestly very
addicting and convenient at times in my opinion. Sometimes I just have a quick
question to ask someone and really don’t have the time to hold a conversation
so I’ll text them. However, when I know I’m going to have several questions or
a lot to say on the subject I try to call them instead.
I got really into texting when I was out of
high school. I wasn’t able to afford a cell phone during so I resorted to
actually calling my friends on a land line or writing letters to them and
passing it to them in between classes. I am now guilty of using letters for words
or numbers for words and shortening words such as: ur for you’re, c for see,
lol for laugh out loud, pics for pictures, 4 for for, u for you, etc.
People
now seem to not want to be direct with the people they talk to so they resort
to texting. Even though I do it I don’t agree with how it’s affecting the way
we communicate so I try to forget about my phone at times especially when I’m
out at an event or hanging out with friends. I find that it’s hard to not do it
at times because I see it everywhere even at work. I doubt I will ever give up
texting but I will work on limiting it to have more verbal conversations with
the people in my life.
I agree! People sometimes use it to avoid confrontation.
ReplyDeleteI also try to do the same thing you do when i'm out at an event or hanging out with friends because it is rude to have two conversations at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with ignoring my phone while I am out with friends or family because I find it extremely rude when I see people on their phones while someone else is trying to talk to them. It just seems like they dont care about what that person has to say.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started to learn about texting, I remember that I relied on it too much. The good thing is that my parents didn't allow me to do so, and now I still don't have a cell phone. I'm kind of glad I still don't have a cell phone.
