Quote of the Day:
“This feature of being able to know whether your partner read your text message may have the power to create and/or increase feelings and behavior similar to symptoms of attachment anxiety and make relationships more fragile.”
~ Dr. Danielle Forshee, a psychologist and relationship therapist, tells Digg how the read receipts on our smartphone apps can complicate relationships.
Remember back in the day when if the phone rang at an inconvenient moment, you just ignored it? “if it is important, they’ll call back” my father always said. Or when you would mail a letter that you spent a couple hours or maybe even a couple of days writing, knowing that you were going to have to wait days if not weeks or even months before getting an answer? Then we graduated to answering machines and faxes that demanded attention a little more quickly, which morphed into emails > texts > IMs, each with an increasing burden of immediate response. No matter what kind of relationship – professional, customer, personal, family – the expectation that you treat every communication as urgent and respond quickly has intensified, and the speed of your response is somehow considered an indicator of the strength of said connection.
So yes, I think in both my “real” life and my 2nd life, the weight of expectation of an answer has indeed complicated things and caused angst.
