YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDo your text messages feel like the equivalent of 200 open browser tabs?
If you're in multiple text threads with different people in your life — your family, your partner, your kid's teacher — it can be hard to stay on top of your messages.
These texting situations can be tricky, but managing them is a lot more straightforward than you might think, says Nick Leighton, host of the etiquette and manners podcast Were You Raised by Wolves?
"A lot of people forget that texting is just another form of communication," he says. "But the principles of 'let's not waste people's time' and 'let's be mindful of their feelings' have never changed."
Life Kit asked Leighton and Erica Dhawan, author of "Digital Body Language,” for their advice on four common texting conundrums.
