I can’t stand being around people who can’t hold a conversation. If the way you talk normally is the way I talk to people when I want them to stop talking to me (responding in monosyllabic words and smiley faces), then I really have no interest in continuing our conversation.
If you’re going to bore me with short phrases and smiley faces, at least do it immediately after I’ve responded. I don’t want to be annoyed with “*poke*” replies every three or five minutes. If I’ve stopped talking to you, it’s probably because I’ve lost interest. And if you’re going to continue to bother me, at least come up with something more interesting than “*poke*” because I am not going to be friendly when I reply. Your best bet in these instances are if I don’t say anything at all.
Seriously. I am very mean when I want to be, or when you’ve annoyed me into it. I will say things that I didn’t want to say, point out your annoying character flaws in my really blunt and unfiltered fashion, and potentially screw up what friendship we had (because even if you’re a total bore, I’m still going to think you’re a nice person). So don’t. Make. Me.
I was tempted to only reply to this entry with a smiley face but then I reconsidered. Haha.
I don’t really like when people do that either, or when I’m talking on messenger to people and they decide to type enter after every 3 words. It’s like WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED!
I think it’s good to speak your mind. :)
