The era of the “emergency use only” texting plan is long gone. These days, the way we text is as much an indication of our personalities as the way we behave interacting with people face-to-face (assuming that ever actually happens).
There are all kinds of texting styles — some are cryptic, some are poetic, others only speak in emoji. The next time you’re writing up the fifth draft of your 1,900-word SMS response to a simple “How was your day,” consider that you might just have a problem.
1. The Novelist
The story of their day reads like a Stephen King novel, except not as spooky and much, much longer.
2. The Vehicle-less Wonder
A few rides here and there? No problem. Being the chariot for his grocery shopping every other day? No way.
3. The Romantic
There’s a line between sweet and annoying. Sometimes, this lovestruck texter sprints past that line, leaving a trail of emoji hearts in her wake.
4. The Thumb-Impaired
Seriously, does your phone not have a backlight? Are you texting blindfolded? Autocorrect will help you.
5. The Worrier
This texter is eternally checking in on you.
6. The Decision-Maker
This is the most one-sided conversation in your inbox. You’re not sure if he’s inviting you somewhere or just using your text thread as a to-do list.
7. The Inappropriate Laugher
She follows even her angriest messages with “lol” and “haha,” making her come off a bit like a murderous clown.
8. The Master of Deception
You’ve fallen for this one way too many times now. Now go let her dog out and think about your mistakes.
9. The Ex
Friends don’t let friends text their exes, period.
10. The Indefatigable
Will he ever get that you’re not going to respond to him? Odds aren’t very hopeful.
