Bad texting involves more than slow replies; it can mean treating devices as nonexistent and responding only on a personal schedule. Some people genuinely try to text better but run out of energy or forget to send messages. Texting often drains expressiveness that appears easily in face-to-face interactions. For some individuals, texting is annoying or a low priority, resulting in phones left dead, screen-side down, or misplaced. Aries exemplify this behavior by prioritizing activity over message monitoring, leaving many messages on read and typing long unsent responses before moving on with the day.
While everyone gets busy and occasionally forgets to look at their phone, bad texters act like their devices don't exist. Instead of reaching for their phone when they see a notification or dutifully keeping up with a busy group chat, they prefer to text back on their schedule. Until then, their phone will be dead, screen-side down, or lost at the bottom of their bag.
A bad texter might attempt to respond quickly or keep a convo going, especially when chatting with a BFF or crush, but they either run out of steam or forget to hit send - and just like that, hours go by. In real life, they're fun, animated, and happy to see you, but put a screen in front of their face and all that personality drains away.
