Who else hates Instant messages?

Post Reply New Topic

I mainly use IM for small talk.

I can sometimes go into deep conversations on IM/PMs, but that's only if I haven't seen the person I'm talking to for a while, and they don't wish to text/have a phone call.

I don't get pissy if the person I'm talking to doesn't reply. I just give it a few minutes, then leave...If they don't want to talk or can't talk, that's fine with me.

I've had the account i have for msn since 2003, i think i've spent the last 9 years permantly signed offline. The thought of someone messaging me and having to reply straight away is really stressful.

I do like using the the thing where u can send messages when they're not online though, i have a couple of slow time conversations going on with people where we probably only message once per week each on average but they've been going on for literally years. That's a pretty chilled out way to communicate.

I just really like this thread.

Thought i'd post loads of times......

erm, some kind of forum error soz guys.

I get excited when I see I have a PM from someone but unfortunately the message usually isn't much & conversation doesn't got anywhere I'm lonely & don't really have many options to meet people offline so online communication is a substitute for having an offline social life.
