From the word go, texting has never for once been a thing I like doing except if I don't have a choice. For people that know me so well, they can testify to it that if I really have an important thing to talk about in most cases, I will prefer to talk about it more on either a call or when I get to see you one-on-one.
But at the same time, this is literally not open to everyone in most cases. Which of the reasons are best known to me? But then while texting, for MY DON'T'S, I always prefer a person to always be very sensible enough to know how to approach my DM. So people really don't know how to text or talk via texting, which can be very annoying if you ask me.
So people sometimes just come to your DM to talk with no sign or courtesy. Courtesy demands that you at least greet people before saying what you want to say to them. Some people are really bad with that. They just enter your DM and just say what they want to say and just leave.
If you ever try that with me, I can end up snubbing that message or even ditching you forever. Because why? Do you really feel like I'm jobless or don't have something doing that made me come texting you? It's really just so annoying for real.
Also, I always appreciate it when you use voice notes while texting most. Because it's easy to reply to it. Especially when we have an issue pending and you want to explain something. I will prefer that person to either send in a voice note.
Because I've come to notice something so far so good that tone really matters in most cases while texting or having a conversation with someone. Because I've been in many situations that gave me a better understanding of using a good tone.
There was this time when I had an issue with someone because of the way he was texting. I will literally misunderstand what he was saying. The tone sounded annoying, and I was already boiling because I was more like this guy who crossed his lane.
But later on, I got to find out that he didn't even mean it that way and never expected the matter to go that way. He was literally at fault at my end, but then with time I understood better what he was saying and now know he wasn't at fault, but the way he used was something that got me really pissed to the extent that I did what I did.
SUMMARY
But then, learning how to talk and knowing the way to discuss something with someone with the right tone is the best thing you can ever do for yourself.
