What Your Texting Style Reveals About You
We live in an age of fast communication, and texting is one of the best inventions of our
time.
The fact that you can send a message to pretty much anywhere in the world in an instant is
incredible.
But, have you ever wondered what your texting habits say about you?
Or are you even just a little curious to see if you fit a certain texting personality type?
Well wonder no more!
Researchers have spent a lot of time studying people’s texting habits and came up with
some surprising results about human nature.
Join us as we explore the world of texting and discover what your texting style reveals
about you!
Number 1 - The Novel Writing Texter
If you tend to send lengthy texts, then you're probably a very conscientious and detail-oriented
person who values context in communication.
Longer texts mean that you like to get into the nitty-gritty and really get your point
across to ensure that there are no misunderstandings.
You take the time to think through what you want to say - and to make sure it’s said
in a way that won’t offend the other person or make them feel uncomfortable.
This can be beneficial in a variety of situations, such as when discussing a sensitive topic
or trying to resolve a conflict.
You believe in being very clear about your intentions and you don't like to leave anything
to chance.
But, since you are so particular about the way things are done, there’s also a pretty
good chance that you have a hard time trusting others.
Number 2 - The Short Texter
If you find yourself typically responding with short sentences or even just one word
replies like "OK," or "Sure," then you’re probably a bit more reserved in your thoughts.
This could indicate that you are not comfortable sharing all aspects of your life with others
and that there may be very few people you open up to.
In addition, you may be more at ease communicating face-to-face rather than over text.
At the same time, you don’t sugar-coat things or play games with your words.
You're not afraid to get straight to the point.
You know what's important and don't waste time beating around the bush.
Such short texts can come across as emotionless at times, but you stand behind them because
they are true to who you are.
This texting style reflects your honest and direct nature.
Number 3 - The Short, Multiple Texter
If you’re someone who typically sends short but multiple texts, then it’s clear that
you’re a person of energy and vitality.
You’re eager to get things done and you need your communication to reach the other
person as quickly as possible.
It’s not that you’re in a rush; you’re just passionate about your ideas and want
to make sure that you don’t lose your train of thought.
This kind of texting style indicates that you’re an ambitious and hard-working person,
but someone who also enjoys having fun.
Your amiable and affectionate personality makes you a great companion, and your magnetic
aura attracts everyone toward you.
Number 4 - The Emoji Fanatic Texter
If you're someone who sends emoji-filled texts, chances are that you're more extroverted and
more expressive than the average person.
You like to show others how you feel, and you love to get out there and live life to
the fullest.
Essentially, you're a fun person who likes to keep things light and easy.
You're not afraid to be silly, and you know that sometimes the best way to get someone's
attention is with a well-placed emoji.
Number 5 - The Overly Amused (And Overly Careful) Texter
If you just can’t help but add "haha's" and "lol's" at the end of each message, it
may be an indication of your desire to avoid conflict and make sure that your messages
are interpreted as you intended.
You are likely a people pleaser who always wants to make sure that everyone around you
is happy.
You may also find it difficult to express yourself in an assertive manner, which is
why you often use humor as a way to diffuse a potentially uncomfortable situation.
And while this texting habit can help others feel comfortable and safe around you; it may
also lead to some negative outcomes such as people not taking you seriously or not understanding
the full extent of your message.
Number 6 - The Grammar Geek
If you value and strictly follow grammar and punctuation in your text messages, it's a
sign that you're someone who is analytical and thoughtful.
You take the time to think through your messages and consider the implications of your words.
You don't text often, and probably prefer in-person conversations to texting.
And this indicates you're someone who favours meaningful, deep conversations to casual,
surface-level exchanges.
Your thoughts are logical, and you're an excellent thinker who never makes decisions based on
quick impulses.
Number 7 - The Could-Use-Autocorrect Texter
You're the most likely to accidentally send a text with some kind of typo in it.
You might misspell things, or miss a word or two…
If you have a tendency to constantly send nonsensical messages due to the sheer speed
and volume of your messaging, it’s quite possible that you’re a busy person who’s
always on the go, which means you don’t take the time to double-check your texts before
sending them.
And although it’s admirable that you’re so driven and ambitious, it’s important
to take a step back and make sure you’re not sacrificing quality for speed.
Your texting habits are a reminder that it’s okay to slow down and just focus on the task
at hand.
Number 8 - The Double or Triple Texter
If you are not afraid to double or triple text someone, even if they haven’t responded
in a while, then you’re a go-getter.
You're bold and brave and not afraid to go after what you want.
However, this same assertiveness can sometimes be misconstrued as impatience.
Or worse, some people may see it as being too obsessive and clingy.
So, if you don’t want your intensity to rub others the wrong way, it's important to
remember that when someone doesn’t respond immediately, they might be busy, distracted
by something else, or just not ready to give you the response you want.
