    I actually really like texting. I'm the type who writes out their thoughts with punctuation and I can see what it is I'm saying.

    I get really anxious on phone calls and have to write what I want to say sometimes when it's bad.

    But there is a type of person who I dislike texting. Someone who draws out a conversation or fails to contribute to the back and forth. It's hard to say goodbye during a text exchange and I don't know how to better address that with the friends that do this.

      I just leave convos if the response doesn't need a follow up from me. Maybe drop a hint as to whether or not you got a minute to talk or you're just free for a while

        That makes sense. I think it's my own social anxiety that makes conversations like that difficult to do over text. But I'll give your advice a try. Thanks!
