The word equivalent I think best describes it is “message received. Nothing else.ĭoes that make sense? For us it feels like we’re *really* putting in effort to make them feel seen/loved/not lonely and they are like “Christ be less desperate.” Like we have teenage elders, hahah! And it doesn’t have to be a sign off – it could be like, a message wishing them a happy birthday or a happy Halloween or whatever - the point is, the thumbs up emoji comes off like the other person is just *way too much* and you really wish they would eff off. The response is an effing thumbs up emoji. Really looking forward to it – love you!” It doesn’t help that the two worst offenders are one each of our closest living relatives left (his father, my grandmother) – my grandmother has been texting for over 20 years so don’t give her a break! But say they text about what they are doing, we’ll text back a response and ask when would be a good time to chat, they will text back something like “tomorrow afternoon should be fine, but also Wednesday or Thursday.” And we’ll respond with the equivalent of, “okay great!
