Things You Should Never Say Over Text

In today’s day, we have been paralyzed to our phones to the point where we cannot get 5 minutes without them. Texting has affected us in a way that we prefer to have social conversations and communications via texting than simply picking up the phone or meeting in person. Mobile texting has become somewhat the way to communicate to the outside world with less confrontation and definitely less effort. We went for  “okay” to “k”, “what are you doing” to “wyd” and one of my favs “what happened” to “wtf”. I believe that people tend to use texting a lot because it guards their emotions. If your shy or afraid to say something to someone in person texting is usually the route most taken.

You Can't Express Emotions, No Matter How Much You Try

With recent heavy engagement with friends and family, it has come to my understanding that people are texting moments that should really be over the phone or an in-person conversation. Emotions cannot be 100% shown through texting, you can put every emoji in the book in your message it would never equate to how you really feel inside.

Below is my personal list of things you should never communicate via text message, some of these I am actually guilty of to guys….

Ending a relationship

For the love of God, don’t do it.

Every relationship you are in whether business or personal needs closure and you ain’t gonna get it through texting Trust Me. On the flip side, it just not the appropriate approach to take. You owe it to yourself to get all your emotions out just the way you feel them and you will not be able to accomplish that through texting.

Disagreements

Again…don’t do it. This is going to be one of your longest text conversations everrrrrrrr, it may also be one of your funniest when you look back at it….I’m literally laughing right now because I have had a few of these and chileee…hilarious. You are going to be doing the cha-cha-cha dance with the receiver about who is right and who’s wrong or trying to clarify what you are trying to say because they are interpreting what you said wrong and whooo..im tired just writing about it.  it’s very difficult to interpret someone’s intentions via text messages especially a disagreement why its best these are done via face to face conversations or over the phone.

Gossiping

Now unless you are having this communication with someone you consider your ride or die, I would refrain from engaging in not so nice conversations about other people. You have no clue who those “YOURS” because more than likely they are going to forward what you said and not what they contributed – is being forwarded to. Social media is just bad as it is good and you don’t want to see your screenshotted messages shared around on other people’s timeline.  So again, don’t do it.

I’m Pregnant

Well, unless it Aprils fools…lol. I have never been pregnant so I don’t know how those words feel coming out of my mouth but what I do know is that if I was a guy, I would really prefer not to be told this information via text message. This is a life-changing, amazing thing that is going to trigger every emotion in one’s body so announcing a pregnancy should be together with that special person.

Apology

It is just more sincere when it is said. Also, if you’ve wronged someone in the open then you should right it as well.
