People taking hours and hours to text back (blog post/rant)

 This is extremely frustrating. Especially when...if you first started talking, the person texted you right back within a couple of minutes each time.

But then after a while, they slowly start taking longer and longer to text back…to the point where they're taking literally hours to reply each time. You might as well not even be talking at that point, right?

I mean, if they're taking longer and longer to write back...what's the point of even talking?

I get it, but still

I get that people are busy, I truly do. But when it's a pattern of repeated late replies...it's just toxic, and it's like a mind game.

Nobody has time to sit and wait hours for a reply.

I go on about my life…knowing that they'll take hours to reply. But in the back of my mind, it's just driving me crazy.

Not good for you

Because it's just a toxic situation.

I feel the best thing to do with people like that is just slowly stop responding to them. Just become a ghost. 

Eventually you have to just stop replying. It's the only way to "win" in that situation. Otherwise, you'll sit there and be driven crazy by their mind games.
