I used to be a pretty prolific texter. Back before twitter existed I would send mass texts to people for shits and giggles, have long ass conversations, say random things, misadventure updates, and the like.
But people stopped responding.
Then they started asking me not to text them random ass shit.
I used to be able to text people and say “I’m bored, wanna do something?” but now I tap out a text, stare at it for several minutes, and erase everything but for the “hey lady” or “hi”.
I have to make sure the person I’m texting is actually going to respond before I send something more. And even then I find it difficult to get the words “you wanna do something?” out.
I don’t want to be a bother.
