Why do some people not respond to texts when you know they've seen it?
Hi,Thanks for the A2A.Of course I can’t answer for others, just my own experiences.Listed below are some possible reasons people don’t respond to texts when you know they’ve seen it:They’re at work and can’t immediately text back.The text came in with a stream of other texts and your text got lost in the stream.They’re ghosting you.They don’t want to invest time in you.They don’t like you.They’re living their life and just don’t want to take time to text/chat.They’re in the bathroom.They’re sleeping.It was accidental. They meant to, but……They send an annoying text and you don’t want to reply because it might be hard to be kind and polite (BTW this is my own texting sin).They don’t want to be rude and text in front of other people.You’re texting a player who doesn’t want their other love interests to see them texting with you or see your texts.The text triggered a reaction they don’t want to address.They were driving when you texted and forgot to respond.They’re on a texting break from everyone - not just you.Their dog ate their phone.They don’t like to text.They’re shy and don’t know what to text back.Their phone lost cell service.They didn’t really see the text, you just think they did (that happens more often than people know).They lost their phone or it was stolen.They didn’t pay their phone bill and their service was turned off.The Moon is in a bad sign or has a bad last aspect (my lack of texting response sometimes).Not every text requires an answer or even an emojii.You accidentally texted the wrong person and they don’t see the need to reply.They accidentally texted back to the wrong person (it happens - I promise).They’re worried if they text back you may continue texting and they have nothing else to say.Your texts are annoying in some way.They think if they don’t respond, neither will you.It’s also important to consider the relationship you have with the person you’re texting.That could make all the difference how someone responds.If it’s your parents, best friends or spouse and they don’t text back, maybe you should worry.If it’s a new relationship, maybe you’re coming on too strong, texting too much, they don’t like you as much as you think or they just hate texting. Or all of the above.Some people just don’t like to text.It’s not always about you. In fact, it may rarely ever be about you.Best wishes to you.
Why do people text and drive even though it is dangerous?
Some people is just stubborn and they dont even realize how dangerous it is to not pay full attention while driving, not only because they are risking their lives, but also others.. Now, this topic is really getting bigger every time, i read last week that in New York they just passed a bill that would make TEXT and WALK a crime... yeah yeah yeah.. WALK... not drive.. why? I do not really know, but it might have to do with all these people that jogs and runs around the streets paying more attention to their electronic devices than to their paths actually, but anyways.. i also found a site that collects people opinions and i am pretty sure that they will do something about it.. so in case you guys are interested.. here is the link.. is just 3 questions so is not gonna take more that 3 minutes http://survey.matterofopinion.com/survey.jsp?surveyid=116
Why can't people look at the Bible and other Religous texts as moral guides, and ignore the religious implications?
Why can't people look at the Bible and other Religous texts as moral guides, and ignore the religious implications?Because they are terrible moral guides.The Bible condones rape and demands that the victim marry the rapist. The Bible and Quran both condone the submission of women and claim that they are worth less than males.Because religious text in general tell believers that any one who doesn’t believe is, at minimum misguided and maximum “evil”.Because religious text claim that if a god does it, it’s not bad. If you do it, it is bad. Genocide? A OK for a god. Allowing someone else to kill millions because of free will is A OK, but let’s harden Pharaoh's Heart so we can show one tiny group of people how powerful this god claims it is.Because the “golden rule” was around long before any modern religion.Because I don’t need a religious text to tell me when I have hurt someone else for no good reason. I can see the pain on their face.Because I already possess empathy and can understand why I wish to do as little harm to myself and others, which includes not infringing on their rights to live their life how they see fit.Because religious text suck and will not join the contemporary world having been written, often, hundreds of years ago for an entirely different era and culture.We moved past that and understand our world so much better. The only reason to look back it to avoid making the same mistakes.
Why do people get so upset if you don't reply to a text or a message right away?
BecauseYou felt your self worth is attacked.You feel that you are not as valuable to him as you thought yourself to be.You have expectations with him. You feel that this kind of behavior hampers your chances of you two being together.You have low self worth and your confidence depends on his validation.You need him more than he needs you.What could be possible reasonsHe is not a text person. Many people don't like communicating too much on text. They treat text only as a means to set meetings.He might be playing some mind game to make you obsessive for him.He might not have felt to reply to trivial text. Your text might not have anything which needs replying.He might value you less.He might be really busy or lazy.It might have been too late when he saw your text. Some people don't reply to texts when they lose context. For example ‘what are you doing' or 'good morning' has no reply after two hours.Thousand many other argument. Never judge a person by his texting habits. Always judge people based on how they treat you in person or may be phone.
Why do people stare at you while driving?
YES! I know just what you mean! And besides being nude and masturbating, I have NO idea...wait...oh...*blush* Nevermind. ;-) But seriously, you are correct. And I'm TOTALLY with you re: "KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD, IDIOT!" ;-) I can't believe how many ppl are looking everywhere but straight ahead!
Why do *some* people invade others' privacy? (example-going through their s.o.'s phone & texts, + more)?
i'm just curious as to why *some* people invade their significant others' privacy?-i'd just like some opinions. For example, they go through their boyfriend's or girlfriend's cell phone and go through their texts behind their backs. Or they go onto their e-mails and read them. Or they find a diary of theirs or something and read through it. i understand and respect the fact that there might be a lack of trust, but really, why go to such extreme; why disrespect someone's privacy like that? Why not just straight out ask the other person what's going on if there's something going on in a certain situation?
Why do some people repeatedly wait with responding to text messages when I'm attempting to start a conversation?
As much as it might seem that it is about you (why they are not texting back right away) it most likely isn't.Have you ever read a text and not responded right away? Could it be possible they could glance at their phone to read something, but can't actually type out their message? Could they look at Snapchat without having time to respond?I wouldn't worry about it too much. People get busy - it's no offense to you, there can be a lot going on sometimes that you don't know about.
Is it rude when people are on their phone while talking to you?
To me, yes it is very rude. I invited a friend to join me for dinner last week, and the entire time we were together she was on her phone … texting with a friend in another state, sending pictures of her meal, making jokes… every now and then she would “share a joke” with me, that her friend had sent. I did tell her I had thought we would be talking, and catching up… she said she was good at “multi-tasking.” Without once looking up from the screen. She was texting him, checking her FB, commenting on posts and memes, and every now and then taking a bite of food. I was not part of her evening, just the schmuck paying for her dinner.I finished my dinner, paid the tab, and went outside to wait. It took her almost half an hour to finish her dinner and realize I wasn’t coming back to the table.She thinks I was being “too sensitive” - doesn’t matter to me. I won’t waste my time on someone who it too rude to actually give me their attention when we are out together.I understand that there are times when a person has to take a call. I’ve been in that position myself. And when it happens, I excuse myself to who ever I am with, and keep the conversation very short, and give my attention again to the person/people I am with.Still, that recent experience actually was a rare occurrence for me, although I know it happens to other people a lot. My friends are mostly like me - we are together because we want to spend time with each other, and the phones are not an issue.I do understand that society is changing - young people are practically plugged into their phones. I’ve seen young couples out on what seems to be dates, staring at their phones. To me, that is sad. And no, I do not accept that they are experts at multi-tasking. They think they are … and they are the ones that end up driving their car into a tree because they were “multi-tasking” while driving.
What are some reasons people don't respond to text messages?
For someone well-versed in social media, a lack of response is a form of communication itself. You can rationalize all you want, but very often the real reason is simply that person does not value you that much. That person's lack of response is their way of indirectly cutting you off. I personally don't buy the "too busy" excuse, because if that person really cared for you he or she will make time to reply to your texts. Let's face it, texting doesn't take much effort. However, texting back, especially if the message is impregnated with actual content, conveys some sense of affection, or at least interest or care. This is exactly what that person does not want to communicate.
