I Have Something to Say

Try responding with just a hello. I did it often,,if they said hello, I said hello, or if they'd said hay, I responded in kind. Nothing else, just sending them the same as they sent me. Unless they start a conversation, I leave it alone until they get fed up and block me.
I had one guy tell me to stop wasting his time, because he asked what I wanted to talk about and I told him that I didn't want to talk about anything, and I reminded him that he wrote to me, so what did he want to talk about. Yeah. I love getting them with their own stupidity b

No, I didn't write anything like that and I get them too. I don't answer those either.

I guess I'm in the younger crowd. I just don't see the point in investing a lot of time into a single opening message since the majority of the time it would go ignored. Beyond that, if I'm sending a message to someone new, I know very little about them, so it's not like there's a lot to say to begin with.

They are just saying hi.. They do it to everyone.. I used to talk to people but now I'm fed up with stuff..

@Serenitree: it's funny. Do you have such a patience? I take my hat off in front of you. Lol!
Anyway, I will take into account of the age of the messanger from now.

@suzyq: lol! I also had a conversation like that.

Him: Hi!
Me: Hi, there! Now, it's your turn, three words.
Him: very funny.

And another.

Him: hello, I'm Richard Gere.
Me: Hello, Jolie. Angelina Jolie.

i don't answer hi or hello only.

All I need to know is that I'm interested in a conversation with them. Could be from a post, or a reply. Usually a post will get a reply prior to any messages. No, I dont believe I've sent you any messages up to this point. I don't send a lot of messages anyway.

:conversation:
him: hi
me: what's up?
him: not much
me: smh

@GlassDog: I think you made a great point. The last hello was from a young person.
Btw; thanks, you made my day just now calling me old. 😂

I've always thought hello was a greeting and the proper way to start a conversation. Apparently i was wrong...

I think people of our age treat messages like a letter, where you express some thoughts and have a direction. People younger than us have come to see messages as a conversation, where there are lots of shorter messages (starting with a hello). Both approaches are fine. We just need to adapt to each.

@ Doom: In the youngers group. Ummmmm! Yeah. Lol!
You have a point. Ok. You don't know many about the person, but you have to know something to be ready to send a message to this person. In another case, I don't understand why?
I hope you didn't send me a pm with a hello. I don't think but I'm gonna check anyway.

Good morning, Twistermind... are we having fun yet?

This is the point. A post or something that call your attention. There hadn't to be a great reason, either. But, at least, a reason.
No, you didn't send me any.

@geekoo: Luckily you have more imagination.

@Mrs Gear: so, they do it at random? Now, you put it me worse.

@Doom: Hello!

Idk how they do it.. They want to chat people up.. I guess.. I used to not mind.. But now I do because I'm just irate in general ... Then one obnoxiously rude kid I was rude too got ever worse back.. I was so mad I wanted to kick his face.. Now I don't talk to people at all.. I used to be all nice and friendly.. I still am to some people.. But if I go to their profile and they are all about chatting up women.. Now I just outright ignore them.. Nah I just trash it outright.. I have like 8 messages in my inbox right now.. As I got mad and trashed everything..

Sigh
