>chatting with girl on skype
>she sometimes just stops responding for upwards of 15 minutes, then just comes back and resumes
Do people know this bothers others?
>>26694952
I do the same, mostly because I'm doing something, so messaging back afterwards is just better
>>26694952
>>chatting with girl on skype
She has other betas to reply to, cuck. Not just you.
>>26694994
>>26695009
Then she should say something, I realize that I may not be the only thing that has her attention but holy shit, sitting there waiting for a response makes me wonder what the fuck she thinks I'm even doing.
>>26694994
Why don't you just say, "yo, gotta bounce and do something, back in a bit".
Why just leave?
>>26694952
I'm a guy and I do this too. You reply when it's convenient. It's not like I'm just going to sit there and do nothing else but chat.
>>26695031
I don't know how you communicate with your friends, but when I chat with my friends we actually communicate, it's not just idle background noise. If we are done communicating we say something like "Hey I'm gonna go do _____, So I'll talk to you later senpai"
People like you are shitlords.
>>26695031
>It's not like I'm just going to sit there and do nothing else but chat.
It's like that for robots
>>26695016
Because a lot of people don't just use skype and nothing else. Especially girls for some reason I find. Maybe they got distracted reading an article or something but they aren't focused intently on the chat like you are.
>>26695069
>Maybe they got distracted reading an article
Did you mean "Maybe they got distracted sending a selfie to chad? "
>>26695094
kek, whatever you want to believe. I was self-projecting, last girl I talked to would read yahoo news all the time and would disappear for like 10 minutes for no reason
>>26695065
Yeah, exactly. If a beta is talking to a woman his whole life hangs on her responses. Where do you guys think the pls respond meme came from.
>>26694952
>chatting to some guy on skype
>go to pee and make myself a hot drink so i can get comfy
>takes 15 mins
>come back to a guy who is annoyed at me for actually being a person and not a computer he can just talk to whenever he's bored
fuck you nigger. we don't owe you shit.
>>26695114
lol you'll believe anything. Hey, did you know a woman won't sleep with men she likes, because she wants to see if they'll hang around without the reward of sex? That's why you're still a virgin dog, they just like you too much.
>>26695138
YOU OWE US YOUR ENTIRE LIFE WHORE
>>26694952
Can't really help it while I'm at work. Not being fired is more important.
>>26695016
>he literally stares at the chat even when it doesn't say anyone is typing
>until there's a response
cringe'd
>>26695138
Hey I also disappear for random intervals of time, wanna be my gf?
>>26695048
>actually communicate
Suck my dick, you projecting faggot. What makes you think I don't respond with longer messages after longer breaks if your message warranted such?
Saying that, if someone didn't respond for 10 minutes after you sent something meaningful, only to reply with "cool", that would be cause for indignation.
Simply because their responses take a while? Nah, you'd be the shitlord.
>>26695156
Nope. I run this city.
>>26695177
Nope. I'm spoken for.
>>26695205
I never said what you sent was meaningful or not. You're the one projecting. All I said is that if someone isn't worth your time you should tell them first that your conversation with them takes second place to whatever urgent activity you needed to complete.
Conversations have starts and ends. If its an endless chat log with no real topic than its a vapid useless conversation.
>>26695138
Why the fuck cant you say Brb making coffee, instead of just having people assume you lost interest in the conversation entirely.
If someone is gone from a conversation for 15 minutes I assume they have lost all interest, so I'll move on to something else.
People like you are selfish.
>>26695246
Kek oversensitive little shit it's not like she didn't respond for 10 days. 15 minutes is nothing. People have other things to handle, and you're the selfish one being impatient just because you've nothing else to do.
>>26695173
Are skype conversations just big fat fuck yous? Like nothing you say matters? I know that in person if I were to just walk away to take a shit without saying a single word, people would call after me asking where the hell I was going.
It's rude to just fucking walk away from people mid conversation.
>>26695246
Oh, so you're making shitty assumptions and then blaming it on me? Cool.
If I wanna go make a coffee, I'll go make a coffee - I don't have to justify or explain to you what I'm doing at every moment of the day. You are just some guy on the internet, not my dad, or my boyfriend or my brother, or anyone who I actually owe an explanation to. So back the fuck off nigga or you'll lose me forever.
(I'm not the girl you're speaking about, but that's how I'd feel if i was.)
>>26695229
>hur dur, I don't know how you communicate with your friends, but when I chat with my friends we actually communicate, it's not just idle background noise
>hur dur not projecting
You stupid fuck. That message has everything to do with implying that my conversations weren't meaningful.
>someone isn't worth your time
>for replying slowly
Jesus fucking Christ. This is not face to face, you dumb insecure cunt
>>26695271
What the fuck are you on about, this is about a friend. Why the fuck would I be talking to a random stranger on skype. Friends don't owe eachother anything, however I'd rather not be friends with someone that just left people mid conversation anyways. Its not fucking hard to say that you're away from your keyboard, so people don't waste their time trying to have a conversation.
This is something I've done since I was fucking 12 playing Warcraft 2 on the internet.
>>26695271
>If I wanna go make a coffee, I'll go make a coffee - I don't have to justify or explain to you what I'm doing at every moment of the day.
You could just write that you'll be back in a bit so they don't stare at the screen like an autist for 15 minutes. It's just common courtesy.
>>26695270
You're not in real life though are you? You're in a skype conversation and people don't treat it the same way they treat real life.
This is actually why I prefer to socialise online than IRL. Because I'm in control. If I want to stop socialising at any time, I just stop. Nobody comes round my house or knocks on my door or calls my mobile or anything like that. I can just go browse a different website or log out of skype and that's it. Socialising is over.
IRL if you meet up with your friends you HAVE to say with them until the night winds down or until you have to leave for other plans and its not okay to just not respond to things people are saying or to just get up and walk out of the room. You're not in control any more, social convention is - and you're just along for the ride.
>>26695316
you seem like a manipulative sociopathic person. When you talk to someone online, they aren't a real human, they are just an imaginary figment you can just walk away from.
If you are uncomfortable telling someone you need to leave for 15 minutes, or you want to end the conversation, then perhaps you shouldn't even be friends with that person.
>>26695303
If I knew a guy was just going to stare at the screen and wait for me to get back, I wouldn't bother talking to him at all. I don't want a beta orbiter who is just waiting for me to respond to him all day, I want someone who is doing their own shit, getting their life in order, and making great experiences that they can share with me - either through pictures, or text, or even in person.
It's common courtesy to not get pissed at people for not responding to you for 15 minutes in a Skype conversation too - sometimes people aren't at their keyboard, and no they don't owe you a "I'll be right back" message, you're not entitled to anything from anyone. That's life.
>>26695301
>I DO IT THIS WAY SO EVERYONE ELSE SHOULLLLDDD!!!
If everyone else did it that way, it becomes social convention and then we're right back at square one, where we don't actually have any control over our interactions with other humans and we're just stuck as slaves to social convention.
Sorry, but that's not how I roll. I want the freedom to get up and go take a piss without having to explain it to you. I want the freedom to get up and make myself a drink without having to explain it to you. I want the freedom to take my trash out on a monday night because i just remembered during our conversation it was trash night - without having to explain it to you.
If you can't deal that people don't want to have to explain their shit to you all the time, then you shouldn't talk to those people, and they shouldn't talk to you either.
Build yourself a bridge and get the fuck over it, or throw yourself off the top with a rock around your ankle. Either way works, just stop being a massive baby.
>>26695339
See my next post.
I genuinely care for everyone i talk to on my skype, Maybe more than I realistically should since I've only ever met them through Skype and other chats. All the same though, I stand by my right to not have to explain every lil thing to you. If 15 minutes is that bad, play agar.io or something every time there's a lul in the conversation. Just stop being this much of a bitch about it.
shes not interested
its just common sense to say something when you pause the convo
youll see once you get one interested
>>26695361
Jesus christ stop talking about yourself. Is it really that fucking hard to say BRB to someone? it's 3 letters.
I literally could not give a fuck about how some guy on the internet handles his sociopathic tendencies.
I dont need explanations, I'd like cues stating, "BRB" or "IM LEAVING"
The world doesn't revolve around anyone, but it's nice to not waste other peoples time.
>>26695381
clearly.
She's probably taking a good, hard, dicking in those 15 minutes.
>>26695380
>explain every little thing
>stating that you are away from keyboard is suddenly triggering to people that feel like it oppresses their right to live

Even normies think it's bullshit to just stop talking to people mid conversation
>>26695420
>tfw that girl doesn't respond for 10 mins and my life is put on limbo
Fucking Stacies, man
>>26695420
>The world doesn't revolve around anyone, but it's nice to not waste other peoples time.
So you're saying I'm responsible for you staring at a screen for 15 minutes?
Fuck right off nigger, go do some other shit and stop blaming me for your life being so empty.
>>26695434
No, I just think that you should let it go and not make such a big deal out of it. You're the one getting upset about it, nobody else.
>>26695483
It's not even about women, it never was. Anyone that does this to friends isn't a friend. I don't sit around and multitask, I'm not watching a movie eating cheetoes while jerking off when I'm having a skype conversation, I'm talking to a friend.
>>26695496
>blaming you
Im so confused, I don't even fucking know who you are, jesus christ.
Abandoning someone mid conversation is a pretty shitty thing to do, and you shouldn't do it. But sometimes shit happens.
It's definitely not okay though to do on the regular. It's kind of like just getting up to go to the washroom at lunch, then never coming back to the table.
However I understand that if something urgent came up, and you weren't actually involved with the conversation, you could easily just let it fizzle off. Most people wouldn't make it such a big deal.
OP's actually a massive tard
I do this sometimes. Not on purpose it's just real life suddenly comes up.
>>26695156
what are some life whores
>>26695519
Nice damage control, m8. We all know what your issue is and that is the girl you're orbiting doesn't give you enough attention and you're jealous. Friends do not give a fuck if they reply slowly sometimes, because being friends means knowing each other well enough to not take any issue with slobby internet etiquette.
>>26695775
Keep defending shitty things to do to people, I wont stop you m8
>>26694952
Yeah, I don't really care unless we're talking about something super important.
If someone is bothered by it they can go talk with other people. It's easy to just do other stuff if you don't get a response right away when you're at a computer. If you're too clingy or tunnelvisioned to do that, you're going to have a bad time, and I'm not going to go to any length to compensate for your particular mental problems.btwI'maguy
>tfw gay guy would never do this to op
If someone did that to me id just block them and notify them that they will be unblocked in 15 hours.
I can't be dealing with that shit I have social anxiety. It's just not feasible to have someone like me sit in uncertainty about my biggest fear for that long.
>>26695902
In my 25 years of being alive on this earth no guy has just fucking not responded at all without saying brb.
>>26695930
thats because women don't realize that the reason most men even show them any attention is because they seek validation.
Most women treat different guys online as some kind of chat outlet. They will chat with 6 different guys on skype at the same time out of boredom, and not really give a shit about any single one of them.
>>26695930
I've had one do it to me once as a joke. I was running my mouth and he was getting sick of it so he just muted himself until I started asking for him. All in good fun though. Took me like 4 minutes according to him.
>>26695954
We do that here don't we? How many tabs do you have open? I have 4.
>>26695995
Threads aren';t the same as 1 on 1 personal conversations though
>>26694952
The best move is to just stop giving a fuck. Don't invest so much in text conversations so when they end unexpectedly or just peter out you're not too affected by it. The vast majority of people don't have anything interesting to say anyways.
>>26695420
>neediness: the post
Holy shit. This is exactly what people mean by being needy. Don't be this faggot.
I don't tell anyone what I'm doing when I walk away from the keyboard, man. Shit just crops up and people handle it as they should. It shouldn't warrant a "brb" every damn time.
>>26694952
OP this is incredibly autistic.
