Fro some reason without paying much attention to the time duration it took a friend to reply I always end up replying within the same amount of time as my friends without thinking much of it, then I’ll see the time they sent the message.

If a friend replies in an hour I typically respond probably subconsciously in an hour (plus or minus 10 minutes), then realize it took them an hour after I respond. Idk why.

Is this something “normal”? Does anyone else do this?

    I agree with what you’re saying. if you just happen to be on the phone when someone texts, there’s no problem in answering immediately.

    I don’t think anyone is “desperate” is they reply quick. I just think they replied quick.

    If I think they’re busy and don’t wanna interrupt, then they’ll just read the message at their own time. Don’t see any reason to play these games.

      Me neither. I don’t expect texting to be instant either and basically have the same attitude you do.

      I remember for the longest time family would be angry that I texted them at night, and I’d always think to myself “then just respond later?”
