Perhaps your messages are quick with textisms and abbreviations. This is because they like to build friendships and by being there in text messaging is one way for them to achieve that.” They are typically the ones who “ text until the other person says that they have to go. You likely are very popular and have many friends, so texting has become easy for you.Īccording to relationship coach Nazanin Marzpan, BA Psych, people with an often energetic and outgoing personality like to keep in touch with their friends by texting often. If you scatter your thoughts into several texts and simply text a sentence as soon as it comes to mind, you are likely seen as energetic and open. You Quickly Send Multiple Short Texts and/or Textisms So, while I see nothing wrong with correct grammar use in texting – probably because I often use periods in my texting – others who don’t share the same ‘text personality’ you have, may think otherwise. This all can be reason why you take attention to the little details – although come on, it’s proper grammar – and always make sure to end your sentences with a period. You are an excellent thinker and are rooted in logic more often than quick-impulse emotions. You generally don’t text often and like in-person conversations more. Odds are, you are thoughtful and analytical. Several studies have found that simply placing a period at the end of your sentences in texts, can make you come across as untrustworthy to others.Ī 2016 study from Binghamton University found that “texts that ended with a period were rated as less sincere than those that did not.”Ī follow-up study conducted in 2018 from the same researchers showed that “one-word texts with periods were understood as more negative than responses without.” The study also showed that including a period in your texting responses is often seen as abrupt. This seems like a great thing, doesn’t it? Who doesn’t love the intricacies of language?! But in texting, people seem to think otherwise. This love of grammar goes straight into your texts as well as your emails. You value punctuation and grammar in your writing at all costs. You could even be a mix of several types! 1. Well, here are four texting personality types I’ve conjured up from what others seems to think about how we text. So how do you know what type of ‘text personality’ you have? Or what about using correct punctuation? Well, you may not be perceived well according to several studies. Do you often use emojis? □ That may say a lot about you, and benefit your grammar according to research. If you text often, you likely have a ‘texting style’. Leora Trub, Phd, who presented the findings, said that “how couples texted was more important to the satisfaction of the relationship than how frequently they texted.” It doesn’t mean your partner needs to text you more, it simply means you need to have a similar ‘texting personality’. In fact, your friend may have a different texting style, and therefore may not understand exactly what tone you mean to apply to your texts.Ī study where people were surveyed on their romantic partner found that if you have similar texting styles to your romantic interest, you’ll have a more satisfactory relationship. But, what if the way you text does indeed reflect a bit of your personality? Often, we can say these are simple misunderstandings from not being able to hear tone and see expression when talking face to face as opposed to texting. Odds are, your text may have come off too ambiguous, or little things you do when you text may have made them perceive you differently. “Yes! But you used a period! You’re so abrupt!” They respond. Have you ever sent someone a text that you thought was friendly enough, only for that someone to later admit to you that they thought you were being rude or cold to them?
