5 Simple Rules Of Texting Etiquette

You should always find time to respond to a friend. If you've been busy it's not that hard to quickly text, "Sorry I've had a lot on my plate lately, maybe I can talk to you in a bit?" As well as responding to what they had sent in the first place.

This is when you do respond, you just decide to take 2+ days to do so. In many cases you can have a legitimate excuse for this such as your phone being taken away or going on a trip where texting isn't really a priority. Other times if people do this they may just not consider you or whatever you texted that important. Of course if you happen to do this and you don't want to be taken as rude just simply reply at a more reasonable time.

This one is pretty self explanatory. If somebody texts, "Hey I need help on this issue," don't respond, "So today I went to one of my favorite restraunts." Another tip: If you happen to take a long time to text back as well then definitely still respond to what they put. Even if the response is quick, atleast your acknowledging their message.

If someone sends you a short message it's totally fine to respond with "okay" or "yeah" but if they took the time to write a thought out text then the least you could do is give them something more than a quick "K".

There are both advantages and disadvantages to texting. Some will use it as a way to think what they send through whereas others will use it as an easy way to just ignore you or be rude when responding. In all honestly it's not that difficult to atleast be polite when texting and if you give these tips a try people will really appreciate it! :)
