.KTHeaney went looking for people with super-active text-based social lives to tell us how — and why — they do it
Photo-Illustration: The Cut; Photo: Getty My best friend and I text all day, every day, and it’s been this way for almost ten years. Though she spends half the year in Brooklyn, where I also live, we don’t usually see each more than once or twice a month — not because we don’t like spending time together, but because we love texting each other.
It makes confrontation easier “I think over text you can be a little bit more thoughtful, a little bit funnier. I’ve been doing this since I was 13 years old, so it’s its own language, essentially. You grow up with it and there’s a shorthand. You can also say things that you don’t necessarily want to say to someone’s face, because you can phrase it in a more delicate way. You have more time with it.
It flattens geographic distance “I don’t have an office. And most of those people that I hung out with from work don’t even live here anymore. I used to do photography for this company based in New York, and became friendly with someone I worked with there, but we never met in person. I text him every day.
It creates otherwise unlikely lasting friendships “I do ultra marathon running, so I’ll run with somebody for like four or five hours straight, and become pretty close friends with them. We’re all out there running these stupid things because most of us are the victims of some sort of trauma, so we go deep. So one of my good friends is a guy I’ve only run with once. Texting allows me to interact with people that I wouldn’t normally be able to. I’m probably never going to call this guy.
