It heavily depends on who it is, why I messaged and whether or not Ive been left on seen.
If someone is a generally lazy replier, then I chalk that up to a personal behaviour thing and adjust my communication accordingly (i.e saving story time for in person chats and leaving messages to more direct “when are you free next?” type stuff).
Nothing, they gave their own lives and I’m not entitled to their time. To me cell phones don’t mean someone HAS to answer you just because they have their cell phone on them
I stopped caring after dating my previous bf (6 years ago). He was absolutely terrible at responding back and I honestly just felt like a burden whenever I’d try to text him. This flowed into my text interactions with everyone and since then I generally text people and then half the time forget I even texted them so if they don’t respond it doesn’t bother me.
Now if this is a time sensitive message or something that needs a response, then I’d get pretty annoyed if I didn’t get a response at some point.
Really depends on the message. If it’s urgent then I’ll follow it up with a phone call if I don’t get a text back, otherwise…🤷♀️ I don’t always text people back quickly (or at all, if I’m being completely honest), so it’s fine if someone else doesn’t.
I have generalized and social anxiety. If you’ve left a message on read I’m going to assume you are mad at me. Or you no longer want to talk to me or that I fucked up in some way. This is a me problem that I’m trying to work on because I am not owed answers in a manner that others don’t understand. I also have a hard time ready context in text messages. Texting has been a blessing and a curse. I hate talking on the phone even more and think texting is a less invasive form of contact.

At work? Annoyed.
Personal life? Unless it’s urgent, I just assume they’re busy and move on.

Depends on who I’m sending a message to, why, and whether or not message response is warranted.
If I am really anxious for a quick answer I keep calling.
My life is so busy I often forget that I even sent one sometimes

I’m bad at texting so I assume everyone else is, too.

If it’s not important, relieved. Communication often stresses me out.
If it’s time sensitive, I’m annoyed.
Well. Depends how long it takes them to reply. Everyone gets 24hrs before im a bit irritated.
If it was a bf, then i expect it to be a bit faster

“Damn, ok” and move on
Meeeh
If the person told me to message them regarding work and when I do, they don’t reciprocate…. downright rude. What’s the point? This is work not gossip
I grew up in an environment where it is basic courtesy to reply to a message even with a mere like button or “ok”
But ofc, I cannot expect the same from everyone when it comes to personal messages. But for work, it is necessary to acknowledge the message
