Hi, prashu
It's an interesting topic. I can see that you are a cautious person. When I was sad,
I texted someone , too. But the difference between us is I sent it without hesitation.
Even if I felt regret later
. But when I sent it, I felt a sense of relief.

that's good , your friend understood you, in some cases that doesn't happen at all, instead the misunderstandings increase,more.

Well, annavi, my friend knows me well, so she reads my text, then she will understand me sooner or later, usually it won't be long.( Maybe she doesn't respond me soon, but she will respond later.) I just don't like putting things in my heart. Of course, this kind of text is only sent when I really feel I am right and she is the person makes me sad. Am I selfish? I just can't help doing that. But I am glad to say that nothing changes between us.

Yes! I've also experienced the same thing. I've really wanted to text a friend how angry I am to her but I realized it wasn't a good idea because I realized not to make things more complicated. :)

Well, dear friend, you should know that I do not have a lot of friends. Let's leave those of Facebook, I sincerely people with whom I interact personally, I can count them, they are only three!
However, as said, better few, but good!
To join your discussion, I can tell you that, but I when I wanted to tell someone something that was not right (about in general), or maybe I'm going through a bad period, I quietly made.
Let's be clear, I did not want "beg for mercy" to my friends, but I felt I had to inform them about my situation.

Sure I have done things a few times. I think everyone does that likes to text. There are day's where I feel like texting my husband how I feel and then choice not to at all and just deleted.

Hi,
I haven't done it. I sometimes feel something bad with my friends I don't tell them. I think that I should tell him but I can't.

Well yeah, i have also done it. I have back spaced it because I thought I was been unreasonable by sending what I was thinking and that the person getting it might feel bad about me. It is sometimes not to share certain things with the person as don't know how they will take it. Some people misinterpret the messages. There are different ways of understanding messages. If I can't call the person and talk direcly I will not send message also. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Oh yeah, but not with texting since I don't use that feature on my phone, but I do it on FB, when I consider replying to someone's post or wall, and even here on mylot, I sometimes write a good 2-4 sentences and think, "no I won't start a post on that or I won't reply to this."

Yes, have done that. There are times we can't measure other people's atitudes at times. We can be annoyed or feel uncomfortable by their words, actions and so on... so we typed a text or a message or even a letter, but then back spaced it all out or throw the paper instead. And didn't send anything. But i know, we can feel better if we talk things through. What we hate and like about them...to fully und3rsand each other and make peace as well.

Have been in a similar situation, too. It is sometimes hard to tell exactly how you feel about a person's behavior most especially if he/she is a very dear friend. But, it is your obligation as a friend to inform him about the actions that he/she has done that is quite off. Just tell things in a subtle way. Am sure your friend will understand you. Smile!

I do this a lot especially when I'm emotionally high strung. But as I type the my message, I begin to calm down and by the time I'm done typing I decide not to send it because I think it's not a good idea or that the issue was not even worth it.
