I am a texting person, I don't like to make phone calls as long as there is no emergency
It depends. I usually prefer to text message because it's convenient. You don't have to wait for someone or go somewhere. You can consider a plan on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram with your friends easily.
If the plan is very important, I prefer to speak with my friends. Since I mostly want to see gestures and hear voices. When I connect real communication with my friends, the conversation satisfies me. Thanks to this, we socialize together.
I usually text message to make plans because I didn't work with my friends and we don't know exactly when we all have free.
I used to text a lot before but not anymore. I prefer calling or leaving a voice messages.
I rather send a voice note that a text, but I cant stand listening to voice note replys. I know it is contradicting, but it is what it is haha.
I prefer to send my friend a lot of messages to plan the meeting. I want to video call everyone in the group chat, though, so they can all talk about our meeting plan. It helps us unify the plan as soon
I do prefer to use short and specific messages. I hate to be interrupted because I'm a busy person.
I prefer write messages to make a plan
I prefer to send a lot of messages to my friends to plan our meeting. Because we're all so busy. We have a shared chat where we can schedule our meetings. After we plan the meeting we'll meet.
I am a texting person; I don't like to making phone calls as long as there is no emergency, LOL. I think I prefer texting to phone calls because it is something that I can manage. For example, if I called a talkative friend, he/she might talk for nearly an hour which it a kinda waste of time :D. On the contrary, if they send the whole conversation as a message, I won't read it or at least I will read it when I have enough time to do. I feel like a bit mean but anyways that's it :D.
