There’s another text message making the rounds that gave a girl the ick.
I don’t know where to start with what went wrong here. The nervous “haha”s, labeling himself as an “avoidant”, or an adult man admitting he’s “easily startled.” Not to mention admitting there’s better things to do than talk to him.
Aside from the fact this guy texts like a woman, he’s also talking about a common anxiety for some people. Everybody wants to have the upper hand. Nobody wants to feel desperate. But there’s a way to pace yourself without acting neurotic. Especially in the early stages.
This was a fumble of nuclear proportions. In this post I’m going to untangle this text exchange and discuss “text anxiety.” Let’s continue.
