Do you need to reply when you receive the text message?

Everyone has been there; You send someone a text message, and then they call you back as soon as they receive it. They may not know it, but your friend just broke the number one rule of SMS.

Everyone has had the experience that when you send someone a text message, he will call you back immediately. They may not realize that this behavior violates the first rule of SMS.

You shouldn't break the invisible barrier of short message, which should be common sense, but unfortunately, many people don't know the correct short message etiquette. We are here to help.

It is common sense that there are some conventional SMS specifications. Sadly, many people have no awareness of "correct SMS etiquette". Don't worry, after reading this dry goods, you will find it very helpful.

The following is a list of the first 10 SMS rules. Please feel free to share it with your friends and family. They may not know the mistakes in their ways.

Here are the ten most important SMS rules. If you find it useful, please don't be stingy and dedicate this article selflessly to those friends around you who don't know much about SMS courtesy.

guiding principle

guiding principle

Don't call back to text messages. This is the most important rule. Why? Because it annoys me the most, and I am writing this article. But seriously, if someone wants to call you, they will call you. If you call back a text message, you may encounter one of the following two situations: either calling someone who is frustrated with your lack of social skills, or an ignored phone call and the embarrassing text message conversation that follows.

Others send you text messages, don't call back. Why is this the most important one? Because as the author of this article, I am very disgusted with this practice. Well, seriously, if that person wants to talk to you, he will call you directly. If you reply to a text message by phone, you are likely to face the following two consequences: talking to someone who is annoyed by your rudeness, or no one answers at all, and then a series of embarrassing follow-ups will follow.

This article also applies to WeChat. When someone sends a text message, it's best not to reply to the voice.

Rules of response

Return principle

Be sure to reply unless you don't want to be friends with that person anymore. Yes, we are all busy people. I know it is sometimes difficult to respond when you know that this may end in a complete text conversation, but you should always respond. Of course, the premise is that you want to keep friends with this person. If not, feel free to ignore them.

You must reply unless you don't want to be friends. Yes, everyone is busy. And I know that some messages are troublesome to reply, because your reply will become a complete and formal long conversation. But again, as long as you still want to be friends, you must reply. If not, please feel free.

Convenient prompt game

Mark your message as new in case you don't reply immediately. So you can follow those who need to respond. This reminds me of the next rule ...

Set those messages that can't be answered immediately as unread messages. So you won't forget to follow up the reply next time, which also leads to our next item.

Now many mobile phones can set automatic reply. Make good use of this function if you are temporarily busy.

Two-day rule

The two-day principle

If it takes you two days to reply to me, technically I have two days to reply to you. When you don't respond to others quickly, there is no reason to be angry because others don't respond to you in time. Having said that, there is also the other side of the coin …

If it takes two days for you to reply to a message, I will reply to your message in two days. Although I was not angry at the late reply. But what's the saying? Everything has two sides ...

Two days? No reply, I forgot what it was.

Too fast rule

Don't rush back.

If it takes me two days to reply to you, don't reply immediately.

If someone replies to you after 2 days, please don't reply to him immediately.

This rule is especially applicable to dating occasions. It makes you look really desperate, which reminds me of the next rule …

This truth is just like someone asking (seeing) you. If you react too quickly, you will feel hungry. Speaking of which, I thought of the following.

2 text rules:

Two principles

If you text someone twice and they don't reply, it means they don't want to talk to you. So stop texting them. Right away.

If you send two messages to someone and he doesn't reply, it means that people don't want to talk to you, so stop at once.

An old roommate of mine has some great wisdom about relationships. He told me, "In a relationship, there is always one person who doesn't like another person very much. You never want to be the one who is not liked very much." If you keep texting them without replying, you are the unpopular person.

My former roommate has a famous saying about interpersonal relationships: "When two people are together, there is always one who likes each other more, so I don't want to be the unloved person." If you keep sending messages to someone and this person doesn't reply to you, then you are the one who pays more.

Sometimes you're just not sure about someone, so the next one happens …

Sometimes, when you feel ambiguous, the following article will appear.

Don't leave me hanging:

Don't hold on to others.

If you don't want to continue the conversation, don't send a message first.

Don't reply anything if you don't want to continue.

take for example

-(you) hey! How are you?

(They) I'm fine. Yourself? (you) ....................

What happened?

Usually these messages are sent late at night or after someone is dumped. They said, "I think you are ok, but I really just want to enhance my self-esteem by knowing that you will respond." They may know this because you have violated two SMS rules in the past.

Usually this conversation takes place late at night, especially when someone is dumped. Usually they will say, "I know you are fine, but I just want to see if you can reply to me and give me some luck." Not returning the message can make the TAs give up. See the previous article for reasons.

Yes, giving people hope is the most annoying thing, but the key is not to be stupid enough to send such a message when being dumped.

Dismissal rules

Respect principle

Don't ignore a phone call and then send a message to a person. Give them some time to think that you missed their call, instead of letting them know that you ignored it. Really, this is the right thing to do.

Don't hang up and call back. Let it ring a few more times, making people feel that you are not answering the phone, rather than deliberately not answering it. This is very clever.

A disproportionate alphabet rule.

Inconsistent answers

This applies to messages received from women: never reply to a three-page message with "good", at least give her a complete "good"

This article comes from a lady's message "Never reply to a three-screen message with the letter" K "(when Americans type, K stands for OK). Anyway, please enter "OK" completely.

If you are a man, and you receive a three-page message from another man, it is totally acceptable to delete them from Facebook and your life. Nobody has time to do that!

But if you are a brother, if you receive a three-screen message from a gentleman. I totally understand that you deleted him from Facebook and your life. No one will read as freely as him.

Ironic rules

Irony principle

Don't use all capitals: you look angry! !

Don't capitalize the whole sentence (paragraph), it will make people think you are crazy.

(Ironically, because the titles of the rules are all capitalized. See what we did there? )

Isn't it ironic to type this rule in all capitals? I just want you to feel the meaning.

Same! The reason! Here! Kindness! Ge! Type! Oh, my god Angry!

Lo-Lo rule

L O L code

Don't use "lol" more than you have to. When we say "more than you need", we mean not to use it at all. This is especially suitable for situations like this: "The traffic is terrible LOL." Obviously, you didn't laugh. Some people like to use lol in every text, and a simple "haha" will do. Besides, don't use "u" or "ur" unless you don't mind being considered an idiot.

Don't "lol" easily. In fact, it is better not to use it at all. Especially in the context of "the traffic situation is a mess, lol", it is obvious that if there is a traffic jam, who will laugh? Some people's "lol" is enough with "hahaha". At the same time, don't use "u" or "ur" unless you don't mind being treated as an idiot.

Note: this lol is not your "ah", but one of the most common abbreviations for foreigners. It's short for laughing out loud, which means laughing too hard ~

Extra benefits

We also help you understand the "high availability level". You can judge how interesting people think you are by noticing how many ha's they use in their messages. Here we go.

We will also tell you how to judge how humorous people think you are by how often they use "ha" in their messages.

1 "hectare"

They know you're joking, that's all. Example: "Ha, you are funny." No, you're not funny. )

Two "ha"

Well done. If it is a face-to-face conversation, the other party may have giggled. Example: "Haha, this is ridiculous. It's not that ridiculous, but it's almost there. )

More than three "ha"

You are really interesting. It belongs to ridicule in real life. The premise is, of course, that you are also a messenger in your life, and you respond quickly. Example: "Hahahaha ... you are going to kill me!" He won't laugh to death, but he may laugh. Even if he doesn't use "lol" illegally, you can hear his laughter from his words.

Now you know. Too many rules? Well, maybe you should stick to surfing the Internet. Anyway, texting is a child's business.

That's all. Do you think there are too many rules? Ok, then let's continue to use Facetime. It is popular to send messages after 00.
