""I don't believe in bad texters. If you want to answer you will answer.""
""The obligation to respond makes me feel ill; knowing that my lack of response could be hurting my relationships feels even worse.""
Bad texting is often mischaracterized as a pathology, but it is more accurately a reflection of one's desire to engage. Many people feel overwhelmed by the obligation to respond, leading to anxiety and shame. This can strain relationships, as seen in personal experiences where friendships have suffered due to delayed responses. The pressure to reply can feel burdensome, and some individuals may avoid texting for non-logistical reasons, fearing a lack of timely engagement from the recipient.
