I hate texting

I don't want to text anymore. I don't want any good morning or goodnight messages. I find texting that lasts all day to be extremely exhausting. It makes me guess what the other person is trying to say, observe their energy, their reactions, any little change in their behavior... and I don't want that. I don't want all this drama. I want to live face to face. Don't want to feel under a lot of pressure. If you want me, come be with me. If you can't or we can't I just don't want to suffer. I don't want to guess or doubt. I just want a simple life

I used to text people all the time and was fine with it, but now I don't want to do that anymore because texting hasn't paid off. It just made me live in fantasy land and I want reality. I'm stronger in reality
Maybe this is because I've accumulated too many disappointments and now I'm weak, scared, unable to take much
I crave affection and everything but texting and guessing is torture and a waste of time

Is this normal ? Anyone out there like me ?

I'm the other way, I'd much rather just text all day then have to worry about talking on the phone.

@AlyAngel As long as it’s not text speak.
@AlyAngel I used to be like this too, but now I feel like I haven't been living enough (because of all the texting which felt like the most real of lives for the last 12-13 years of my life. I felt like I could only really be myself online...but now I think life is simpler if I just live it the way it is. Maybe one oof the signs of getting old, maybe because of trauma that came out of relationships in which we were constantly texting, maybe it's depression. I don't know
