Have you ever sent a text message or DM that you wished you could get back? Remember, “face to face” interactions are where relationships thrive, so as a rule of thumb, try to save the important topics, especially the six below, for in-person conversations.
▪️Complaints▪️
Without heading your voice, it’s all too easy for someone to misunderstand how big of a deal something is to you.
▪️Insults▪️
It’s easy to get caught up in back and forth texting – but beware of throwing insults around from behind any screen. You might regret what you say when you’ve had more time to think about it.
▪️Apologies▪️
Offering an apology should be taken seriously, and not casually sprinkled into a text message. Instead, try “I owe you an apology. Can we talk tonight?” Then take the time you need.
▪️Bombshells▪️
This may seem like a no-brainer, but even positive bombshells like “I think I love you” are best dropped in real-time.
▪️Accusations▪️
If you have questions regarding troubling behavior, it’s best to give someone a chance to explain face to face.
▪️Secrets▪️
Always, always, always consider that your message could end up in front of the wrong person.
