Sophie Goodall, 18, from Edinburgh received some texts from a friend recently, including a question about whether or not she could dump someone who is not her boyfriend.
The woman asked to remain anonymous because she didn't want the guy to think she was "a total psycho," she said. She also didn't want him to think "that [she] check[s] his stuff when he takes more than two minutes to reply."
Sophie took a screenshot of her friend's messages and then shared it to her Twitter. "So many people replied saying they related to it and it's funny how alike everyone actually is," Sophie said.
Why r us girls like this :))
She said that platforms can have a negative impact on conversation. "I think all, like, social medias make talking to someone hard," she wrote in a direct message.
"Cos you basically know everything about them before u talk to them from their social medias."
When asked if Sophie checks platforms when she's waiting to hear back from someone, she responded, "Nah...I don't check them often, but I've been guilty of checking when someone's active on Snapchat a few times. Who hasn’t?"
@chxrlott_ @sophiegoodallll I send you those exact messages at least three times a day
Some people joked that they resented relating to the texts this much.
I hate that I’ve sent these exact texts to multiple of my friends. https://t.co/vUWS7txudm

"So sad but so true."

"Literally us lastnight nahhhh."
@ParisZoref @sophiegoodallll @ellagillam_ Literally us lastnight nahhhh
Someone else found it to be evidence that social media is responsible for ruining this generation, which Sophie said she found "funny."
Because social media has absolutely fucked a whole generation that’s why https://t.co/KNj8zw7qgh
Someone called the culture around response times to texts to be "just plain weird."
This whole “if you don’t respond to my message within 0.5 seconds you hate me” culture is just plain weird. It’s really not that deep. https://t.co/fvj1Tt7MHJ
In the end, the boy in question did reply. "Boys mun," she texted Sophie.
