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 only text for brief messages ("I’m here" or "call me"). For an actual conversation I’d rather call.

@bijouxbroussard I can type texts on my computer, which makes it more convenient. I send weekly updates to my kids on how their mom is doing, and it's nice for that...
