Remember when you got your first phone and texted friends for days because it was so new and great? Well yeah, that kind of changed when you reached semi-maturity and realized social pressure was totally legit. So now you’re left trying to figure out what idiot decided to antiquate writing letters because you can no longer use “the mailman got lost” as an excuse, while simultaneously cursing Apple for making read receipts a thing. It's k, I feel you.

1. When you send a nicely worded text and get this in response:

Please try harder.

2. And on the flip side feeling like a heathen because your texting style hasn’t changed since middle school

I'm so sorry.

3. Passive Aggression

Even more satisfying than sub-tweeting.

4. Getting “k” to your super eloquent and beautifully composed text

How kind, you even put in the effort to type a period.

5. Skillfully ending a convo with “Sorry gtg to dinner” for the fifth time in a row

I know you can see right through me but this is seriously draining.

6. Group. Chats.

-you have 589 unread messages that don’t have anything to do with you-

7. Noticing that people text differently in different group chats

Oh yeah, mhmm.

8. When you ask a question in a group chat and get visibly ignored

9. The stress of actually having to respond to a message when you’d really rather eat potato chips in bed

I see you, antisocial kid.

10. Not getting a reply and wondering if they’re just busy

Stay positive, kiddo.

11. People texting nothing like they act in public

And how did you become so eloquent?

12. Autocorrect

13. The pain of having to type without Autocorrect

14. People taking sarcasm the wrong way

Next time we shall go the boring straight talk route.

15. Not knowing how many emojis is too much

Do I seem pissed or really really happy?

16. Texting with an adult

Is that passive aggression or maturity?

17. Wondering how long you need to take to reply before you’re not “too eager” or “too lazy”

I walk the fine line

18. People who call you out over text but then have no problem with you in real life

You can't unvomit vomit.

Next time, just pick up the goddamn phone
