1. Yeah. I usually don't come with great topics and I don't know how far it is from the interests of mine and those who associate with me.
2. Most of the time they're short messages but I met someone who reaches beyond that but still if someone can't initiate the conversation it's hard for me to be the ruler of the conversation even when I should make it quite engaging because I never feel normal.
3. Somehow, it's great at least I've at least a number of friends that I can show by one hand.
4. Okay.
5. Hmm.
6. I'm doomed very great that I'm not good at initiating or maintaining beyond the screen. Also, I'm quite isolated I don't know but it's hard to get what's out there.
7. I don't do this. Please I need help.
8. I'm normally not addressed in that way. Somehow, I can't demand anything like that especially when I don't know how to reciprocate.
Thank you for spreading awareness about this and it's a good video!

Exactly. I don’t want a person who only wants me through text. I don’t like texting and I really want to be in person with people and call them. I want to have real mature meaningful connection with people. Sadly most people don’t have intentions of meeting in person. Or they are emotionally unavailable and immature socially. I just recently had to move on from someone because they only wanted me as a texting friend and they were being unintentionally hurtful by keeping me at a distance when I didn’t even do anything wrong and I tried so hard to be a good friend. It’s a problem when I am not even givin a chance to be a good listener and a good friend. I can’t stand someone who isn’t ready to have friends actively hurts me and others in the process and refuses to better themselves. Frustrating and heartbreaking to be on the receiving end of such horrible behavior.

its ingrained in my soul to actively listen to others, and i often ask questions out of curiousity, but past experiences have taught me that its just not worth it, to be that way.
recently ive started to teach myself, to engage in low effort communication, with. too little succes. I have to say tho, that its very obvious, that low effort communication is and gets appreciated more, than high effort communication. even tho it seems like everyone claims to desire meaningful conversations, behind the scenes.
not trying to downplay anything or anyone here, but as such, id have to call major bullcrp on. this whole thing. (like some of the comments under this video)
OR. OR people just dont realise what it is, that they truly desire.

The little sprouts are so cute. They just brightened my day today.
My ex would send me messages at work that would have me super stressed, an example omg I have to go to the hospital. And I would respond why Never get a response back, stressing the whole time at work overthinking, then when I finally get home, she texts me back as nothing happened and then tells me that it was nothing important when it seemed detrimental at the time she text it. Then get mad at me for overthinking the worse. Sometimes she did it so much I would go into mental breakdowns from not only work severity stress, but the stress she put on me with texts like that. I do not miss it and haven’t had a mental breakdown in almost 2 years.

I watched this to see how my closest friend was with texting and realized i also share green flags too
For example we both are understanding when the other is busy
Like recently my friend got busy and instead of worrying about it too much i just gave them the time they needed and when they texted saying hey so sorry i got busy i said there's no need to apologize for life hitting ya since truly they dont need to i get them being busy
Then in turn whenever i mention i was busy they also are understanding
We always value our time and love calling and just playing games together
And if i share i aint doing to hot they send warm and comfort and i do the same

I'm a red flag. Oh man. Thing is communicating and having a conversation takes energy for me. aand with my lifetime problem of procrastination. I procrastinate replying so I go days, many, many days not replying. I really can't be bothered to anymore really. so I gave up and didn't reply to many much anymore. If I'm not wrong. I have a message from my best friend from school I graduated from dating back all the way to 18th of April that I'm shamefully aware of but just-. can't bring myself to reply anymore. I think I'm just generally so done with life at this point idrk now.

I just came across a parasite recently we used to always share long essay text to discussion, I really enjoyed talking to that friend at first he seemed good person but later he started using Emotional Drama for no reason. He had BPD so he always tried to manipulate and guilt trip me for delaying reply sometimes bc I was busy irl. I tried to understand him yet try to offer help for mental issues still he didn't appreciate. Then I left that toxic person. It broke my heart still I choosed my mental peace more. I was the green flag texter there.

As someone with ADHD, keeping in touch with someone via messages can be insanely hard.
So don't take it as a bad sign or feel rejected, if you are not answered in time.
(Anyway, it is just fair to inform your texting partner about your mental condition)
From my ADHD point of view, it is a massive green flag, if someone doesn't expect a response.
My best friends are actually the ones, I can restart a conversation with after weeks or months and get the feeling there was no time in between and we can simply proceed writing.

Personally I hate texting, it’s draining for me I like the occasional oh look this reminded me of u! And ofc I’ll text someone if somthing has happened during the day and haven’t had the chance to meet up with them. But recently with my bf I’ve just set a boundary to not text constantly with no actual reason to, just meeting up and calling is way more comfortable and important to me it leaves me feeling way less anxious instead of obsessing over an app waiting for a reply or feeling guilty for not responding quick enough

I love that we're finally talking about green flags. Honestly, once I started valuing myself more, these little things became so obvious. Respectful texting Emotional consistency Huge turn-ons for me. Reading The Power of Unshakable Self-Worth by Caden Rivers was a big shift for me, it helped me stop chasing bare minimums and start attracting people who actually get it. When you work on your self-worth, the way you communicate (and the way you expect to be treated) changes completely. Made my life significantly better.

So I was wondering: am I a bad type of person in term of texting habit
Since I don't let myself have the time to respond to things (because I spend too much time on work/fun, but when I try to respond, I at least try to make something that'll be fruitful (not sure if that's the right word tho, for instance I might skip some messages people flood me with, but sometime make a sort of summary response to them (for instance, if they sent me a piece of their art, I might say nice painting, I like how the eyes are done)

As someone whose best friend is an online friend, words are all we've got (when we aren't on a call, of course. We have to use them. And from this video, I'm happy to know that I'm apparently a green flagger. My bestie says that I'm so honest and respectful, and that she appreciates how I'm always here for her, and that I text first a lot. She says that I'm such a 1 in a million person.
I just wish more people recognized that online friends can be real friends. Do you agree that they can

This reminds me of my best friends. We often text to either share things we find interesting, to chat about or days, vent our frustrations, or to just make sure everyone is ok. Sometimes we even get to make plans to hang out and those texts in particular are my favorite. Life is so busy and stressful so anytime I get to hang out with my friends and just have fun is a blessing to me. Getting to see them in person even if it's just to go grab some food is something that makes the day better.

The person I'm texting actually gave me a GREEN flag. Although she might don't have the feeling as I do on wanna have a relationship. But my own anxiety always kills myself and giving me a lot of stress when she didn't reply for too long. She didn't mean to play the mind game, instead my mind playing the mind game myself because I too care about the relationship I'm building right now. Looking forward to be a better me and having a relationship with her!

I have several online friends I’ve been talking to for 5-6 years now and the different connections with each of them is mainly due to how good the communication is. There some I just share videos with and a few others I keep in touch with and have called when we were going through horrible moments just to hear someone on the same page as us. Although of course we don’t share everything bout us since we haven’t met in person yet: )

I'm serious: a green flag for me. is not always typing in txt speak. Typing out your words and all that. it means a lot more than simple acronyms or emojis. Of course, if you have the time to write it out. It also makes me feel like you think about what you're saying a lot more than the typical short answers (and in my opinion, makes you sound intelligent & thoughtful of the person & the conversation you're keeping.

One more thing id like to add is that there can be types of people who like to call instead of text. I personally hate texting cuz im not good at typing nd i just prefer more face to face. So id rather call but barely text although ofc i tell the people i meet that im not ghosting them i just dont like texting. That could be a contradiction to the green flags you mentioned

One texting habit that makes me feel very comfortable is text walls. Because I have a habit of sharing stories or ideas in massive blocks, so when someone does it back, it helps reassure me that I’m not hassling them with how much I text, and makes it feel more balanced. It feels less like I’m texting at them and more like I’m texting With them.
