If someone doesn't reply to your text messages?
I don't take it personally normally. I admit I feel hurt at times but I know people have lives and then I go off doing something and don't think about it. I personally don't like texting a whole lot either. I only like texting certain people.

In general, no, but I used to take it personally when a past girlfriend would interrupt dates to have text conversations with some guy she'd just met at work, yet when I texted her, I only got an immediate response if she wanted something. Either I'm a bad date or she was a bad girlfriend. For once, I'm not going to be modest. I'm actually a really good date.

Usually no I don't. I will however get annoyed if I was planning to meet up with someone or had been putting my day on hold for them and *then* they don't respond. Because at that point you're inconveniencing me.
There are messages I got months and still feel guilty for not replying to - but I really have nothing interesting to say back.
...No, I don't take it personally.
Only bothers me if it was about something important. I text late all the time so I usually don't hold it against the person.
doesnt bother me unless its urgent. then il call anyway. but i forget to reply sumtymz so i dont get annoyed
I only text a few people and I have no reason to take a non reply personally. I am terrible at replying myself.
I used to take it personally but the thing is I'm often guilty of replying late too. Sometimes, I'll get worried and think that I offended the person and that's why it took them so long to reply. Then, I'll realize that they have lives too and that there's no reason for me to get worried over it.
It's strange how people are okay with being ignored so long as it's because it's "who they are" but the second someone ignores you because they dislike you, then it's suddenly unacceptable even though the same action was committed.
Intent matters almost as much as the action itself.
I unfollowed two girls on Tumblr because I didn't realize they had responded to me in a private message in my inbox and thought they were deliberately ignoring me or that they felt that I wasn't even worth their time.
It turns out that all it was, was that I didn't get the little red pop-up prompt like you do with Facebook that tells you how many private messages you've received.
I re-followed them upon realizing that they've replied to my messages and had sent them a follow up message apologizing and explaining to them why I've unfollowed them and that I sincerely hoped they didn't take my pettiness to heart.
Needless to say, I feel like an imbecile now.
