[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am happy to be shed by people who expect me to be at ther beck and call. Who think tey are the most important priority at all times.

While technology has incredible benefits, I think this tendency towards instant gratification and this expectation that communication is instant. There are a thousand reasons why I choose not to answer texts immediately or when I read them. It isn't rude to not be 'on' 24/7 and anyone who thinks I am rude for not living on my phone is welcome to walk away. There is more to life than staring at a phone and texting nonstop.[/quote]

Exactly. If you need a response right now, call me or talk to me in person.

Although it's 2017, people need to remember technology is changing quickly and not everyone uses it the same way. Not everyone can use it the same way, depending on their jobs, their finances, or their ability to multitask. Do you want your Dr or even your hairstylist to constantly pull out their phone and respond to texts? Do I want to pull out my phone and respond to texts on the street or metro, to make it more convenient to snatch out of my hands? No.

I am more than willing to meet people halfway. If someone informs me they only text and the expect immediate replies from me or else they will go away, they can go away. If it's not urgent, I don't hold them to an immediate response, and they are being unreasonable trying to "make" me deliver an immediate response. This sort of attitude tells me a lot about a person.[/quote]
