[Serious] Redditors, how have you been dealing with texting? Has it made you feel any lonelier (due to its immediacy, etc.)?

I don’t really text. With anyone. But I don’t talk with anyone outside of work, either.

Years ago when I tried dating again, we didn’t text much. We didn’t talk on the phone, either. Mostly just when we got together. I kept too much distance.

I guess I text chat with a couple of people online. That’s rare these days, too. I miss having people in real life to talk to, but I am too terrified of injecting myself into a group and wasting their time to even try.
