Am I Doing The Right Thing? by ikeno(op): 1:37pm On Mar 25, 2017
Need candid advice from NLers. I don't know if am doing the right thing;this has to do with the fact that I prefer sending text messages than physically expressing my feelings towards the opposite sex. If I get offended by someone,I rather send a text to he/she expressing my emotional anger than confronting the person.This also applies when I have emotional feelings towards a girl,I do rather send her a text than telling her in person.

Its really affecting me personally and also relationship wise.

Dont worry. Am sure you'll meet a woman who also prefers texting.

Good luck.

The problem is not being able to express yourself at all,seems you're more of a writer than a talker,being able to express through writing is good but talking is better women work more with spoken words. I once lost a wonderful lover cos he couldn't express himself years down the line after the breakup am shocked to realize what I meant and still mean to him, but it's too late, Don't loose precious moments and people please work on yourself .

I prefer texting too, cos I tend to pour out my mind when I text someone. Everybody can't be the same.

Fallacy of generalization!

Actually, some people don't care whichever way one chooses to express him/herself.

At times, you need to face reality. Be a man and express your feelings in person. But try not to be rude no matter what

Maybe you could provide more information; something doesn't add up

Like the part about sending a text to someone you like. How did you get the number in the first place? (I guess, certainly NOT by sending an SMS.)

So you see; you actually do speak sometimes. Maybe you're worried that you don't speak enough.

There is nothing wrong with written communication; there are times when written words could be more appropriate. However you'll need to get a sense of when SPEAKING will get your thoughts out better. You can't keep writing all the time.

After all, the world is NOT Nairaland
