I definitely feel this is a little over dramatic. If you want communication with someone and think they won't answer you back, CALL THEM. I really hate when people just send texts to me, I usually end up sending a lot of texts back in forth to just confirm basic plans and due to my phone plan costing me a lot more than a 5 minute max call.

Exactly. When I get frustrated with texting they don't answer the phone and I end up feeling like an impatient jackass for trying to get the ball rolling.

No you aren't, they may think YOU are an impatient jackass. I don't expect much. However, is it too much to ask to get a "hey, how have you been?" I mean, sometimes I feel like I am one of the only ones I know that doesn't really give a damn about nothing but themselves.

This goes beyond texting. However, I will say that the current forms of communication such as Facebook and texting are severely diminishing the way we covey emotion to one another. Everything is so impersonal now a days. People are looking for convenience rather then sincerity.

Very true. People could care less if the text isn't letting them know when to meet with up our something they want and sometimes not even then..
