HUMOR
What Our Texts Really Mean
But we don’t have the balls to say it
There’s a great quote that goes something like this :
Texting is a brilliant way to miscommunicate how you feel and misinterpret what other people mean.
Yup. Sure is. Every now and then I get a text message that could instantly push my ‘hurt feelings’ button when the person behind the text sincerely means no harm.
It’s just really difficult to express emotions and convey your true feelings in text unless you blow up your message with these ❤😍😊😁😘😉
If I send a text that simply says ‘I love you’, you’ll know I love you but the words alone feel rather flat or insincere. If I send that same message and send you a million of these 😘😘😘😘😘 you will know without a shadow of a doubt, I fucking love you.
How odd that we need to use emojis to truly get our point across. Words just don’t cut it anymore.
But texting is also a really great way to hide behind what you truly want to say. It’s easy to blow someone off in a text. And thank Christ for those people who send you a text, you don’t know how to reply, and they end up forgetting about the text in the first place. Phew. Bullet dodged.
