The vlog of texting in relationships, consist of a girl talking about her life and relationships revolving around texting. For me texting is a very tedious type of communication. I feel that verbal communication is a easier and more convenient especially when communicating a relationship. Words in texting can often be misunderstood by the other party. Mixed feelings could also be taken the wrong way in texting, especially in a deep conversation. It's hard to understand a person’s feelings through just words written, a sense of feeling emotions is needed when expressing one's deepest feelings. Often people can have their feelings hurt in misconstrued conversations. Most people don't take texting seriously so people feel it is all right to leave a simple reply, but others who really take texting seriously as their primary sense of communication would take a offense to a simply reply if the person is in need of comfort. Especially a girlfriend going through emotional situations in their life, if a boyfriend that isn't really into texting could really effect his girlfriend in a bad way if he gives a wrong comment or a message of uninterested her feelings and emotional state.
But communicating through text could be a god way of communication especially for a couple that are not good at talking and are too afraid of expressing their true feelings. Some people can express their feelings easier in words even in poetry; people for years have been expressing their emotions of love through words of literature. For my personal experience I have had troubling relationships involving texting because I best express my feeling trough words and in person when I could see my girlfriend with my own eyes and her reaction and feelings for myself. For me cryptic words can make any relationship confusing and difficult to communicate deeply. I feel that texting is a big Misconception or as Plato would say it is just another form of holding oneself in a cave and entertaining with shadows to one’s own amusement. I feel that texting could be a faze that everyone falls under, I feel that expressing ones feeling in person with words face to Dave is the best way of communicating in a relationship and anxiety of one another could be avoided.

I agree talking in person is a better way to communicate then texting on a phone. I believe that texting creates too much red tape and translating to be considered safe to use for mass communicating. However do you think that texting could be used for simple, blunt, straight to the point messages even with significant others? For example using a text message one could write a simple, I love you, I miss you and any other kind of phrase that could remind someone of their happiness together. Do you think that this kind of texting is safe? Is it only playing with fire when the person tries to have a full conversation via text?
ReplyDeleteI also watched the video blog on “Texting and Relationships” and I agree and disagree with you in response to texting. I think it is very true that in relationships there needs to be clear communication among one another. Simple texts in a relationship are nice gestures, but shouldn’t be the sole basis of communication. If the girlfriend is a “texter” and is going through an emotional situation, she shouldn’t text her boyfriend about her feelings or her situation. Instead she should talk with her boyfriend face to face or maybe even on the phone. Like you said, if she texts her man about what she is feeling, it is hard to for him to give a comforting response with emotion. Even though I haven’t had too much trouble in my relationships due to texting, I still agree with you that when talking about feelings and such, talking in person so you can see their reaction is definitely the way for a healthy relationship.
