I agree that feeling manipulated is frustrating and sad. At the same time now I'm scared you wouldn't like texting with me⦠I take my time sometimes to write something out, and then I think about what I'd like to say and realize what I wrote doesn't reflect that, so I type it out again. I want to be clear and use the right words, you know?
That's not being fake at all lol. It's about speaking to a person to connect to them, rather then speaking to a person for the purpose of putting on an act.
