Why do some people struggle with keeping a conversation going thru text when they have no problem keeping one going in person?

Because typing is boring af. Do you know how much time i spend correcting every word because my big ass fingers hit two keyletters at once? Its all cute when you first start dating but over time people start to take a few hours to respond. Like me and my gf. I mean my gf loves to text but she knows i dont.

For some people, including myself, its way more about the micro-interactions and human engagement than the topic, texts don’t provide that and only are a means for logistics and transferring information.

Because you miss out on the non-verbal communication which actually makes up the majority of communication. Yes, I can text the same thing but if I tell you in person I can read your reaction (happy, sad, offended, interested, etc.) and respond appropriately. This is what makes conversations dynamic and easier to maintain. Also, many people tend to overthink what they write but not what they say.

Because there's no non-verbal communication on text. So a lot of stuff can easily be misinterpreted

things get misunderstood through text, so you cant really talk the same way as you would in person
