Why has nobody up voted this reply <| sep |> The strict drinking age created this trend . Since it ' s illegal to drink , and adults can get severely punished for providing underage people with alcohol most underage drinking is dangerous . Kids drink without any supervision and are afraid to ask for help because of the legal ramifications . Many young adults have died because the people around them are too worried about getting in trouble if they call for medical help . <| sep |> I used to think this about some people but I realized it ' s really immature and self centered . I don ' t always text people back immediately and sometimes I do . People spend a ton of time throughout their day doing different shit where they just aren ' t able to text or aren ' t paying attention to their phone . Maybe the reason someone was texting around you immediately was because that was when their free time was , and they were choosing to spend their free time with you regardless of what they were doing on their phone . If it genuinely frustrates you just communicate clearly about your feelings . It ' s kind of making a mountain out of a molehill . Legitimately no one is obligated to respond to your text message within an appropriate time period . Maybe overthinking shit like that pushes people away too . At least it did in my experience .
