Since the very time I started using browsing phones and social media, there have some do’s that I accept and some don’t that I strictly not accept, because I believe people are different and so as their boundaries too, I respect people’s boundaries alot so I also have the right to be respected, honestly its very important to let people know what you accept and what you don’t, because some set of people actually lack home training and social skills. Personally I think I have alot of don’ts more than my do’s while texting, so I will just let you my readers know my do’s first before we go to the don’ts.
MY DO’S
I do accept my friends and family texting me randomly for example like checking up on me, telling me interesting gists, giving me ideas and also good advices, I encourage the use of stickers and funny images because sometimes when I text people and I get short of words, I easily just use stickers to continue or end the conversation.
I accept good vibes, cool chatting, sharing interests, sharing business ideas, making sales, getting to know and make friends over texting, sharing photos, giving and also accepting compliments,and lastly asking of questions.
MY DON’TS
I get quite irritated sometimes over texting because some people often lack the ability to know what to do and what not to do, for instance; I blocked a guy some weeks back because of how he approached me while texting, this particular guy messaged me and I never knew him from anywhere but he seemed like my tribal person, he said “someone gave him my contact and told him that I sell Jewelries online”, and I confirmed it, after that he immediately asked for my photo, instantly I knew something was fishy, so I asked him, sir please what do you need my photo for, is it Jewelries you want to buy or is there something else, And this guy told me that oh no..I should know that he obviously likes me, I got pissed! I asked again do you want to buy some Jewelries or you want this conversation to end, he immediately said let the conversation end and that was I blocked him.
I dislike it when someone I do not know asks for my photo, or even try to lie how they got my number in the first place, I hate it when a toaster keeps calling me “babe” all the time, or keeps video calling me, or even voice calling, I dislike it when someone out of nowhere adds me to group chat, I dislike when someone keeps buzzing my phone, I don’t accept when someone gives my number out without informing me, except it’s strictly business, I dislike bulk sms, I dislike those messages that has to with “send this to 5 or more people”, I dislike when someone tries to tell me what to post or what not post, there so many that I can’t even remember some.
This rules have actually help me alot, and have also stopped some relationships and friendships, Like I said earlier I really get irritated at some texting ethics, honestly once I feel irritated or my peace is threatened by the way someone texts me, I either block that person, go mute on the person and act as if I don’t see the chats, especially to those men that keeps disturbing me to be their girlfriend, even after I have declined like a million times, this is also applicable to my real life.
Thanks for reading🌺🌼
Toaster calling me "babe" is something I hate as well. Cause I don't understand how we went from getting to know each other into calling me babe in two hours😁.
Your texting ethics are great and it sets the boundary you need.
Likeeeee that babe part usually turns me off from 100 to nothing😂😂
Abi he wants to buy jewelry or he wants to rizz you.😂😂 business woman is for money broke man is asking for picture. He deserved that block.🤝
Lol, he really deserved it because why will he be asking for my photo as if he wants to use for something else
You see that of someone adding you to a group chat without your permission, it annoys me a lot. This is why I disabled the "who can add you" feature and would be sent links first to my dm for me to check before joining. I love to set boundaries and let people know what I accept and do not because some would definitely go beyond the limit.
Lol, very annoying especially asoebi group😂😂
Babe, you are saying the right thing here. When someone you have not met before chatted you up and demanded your photo, it is what I used to think, if they are sent to monitor me or what. When this photo something is said, I would leave. God will help us.
😂😂 monitoring spirit
