I dont use read reciepts on WhatsApp. I keep it off. So I cannot see if a person has read my message or the sender of a message cannot see Ihave read their message. Status update views are also hidden.
Other messaging apps also have this feature. I personally don’t like it. Do you?
Na, your interpret too much into that. I just didn’t feel like writing even more text. I don’t expect people to be tied to their phone, there’s a clear difference. I don’t expect people to care as much as I do either.
But if people find zero time talking to you, you still think they care about you? That’s pretty naive.
The only unhealthy about that is sticking to people like that. Wasting energy for fake friends is a waste of time. But that’s also more of a German cultural thing and I dislike that we become more American where this is also taken way less seriously. Being a friend also means acting like one. Yes everyone has their reason why they might not have time or feel like talking, yet friends means also responsibility, else it’s not a friend and just a buddy, replaceable, unimportant, unloyal, like the 1000 people they have in their Facebook list.
If people have zero time to talk to you then they’re not a friend, no, but I’m talking about expecting instant replies. I very much agree with you about not giving time to fake friends, and that’s what I was referring to about unhealthy friendships in my previous comment.
I think the majority of interactions with my friends just happen in person so most conversations aren’t taking place on my phone, apart from those that live far away. And I have like 200 friends on Facebook because I made a new account and only added people I care about (which I highly recommend for any social media!).
