One thing I dislike about chatting on MSN with friends is that people tend to fade out after chatting for a while. But it only applies to some of them, not all.
I'm not the kind who likes to nudge or takes the initiative to start up the conversation, don't blame me when I'm annoyed by some people's attitude. I have my reason for it.
Let's say someone automatically chats with me, and then replies me every 10-15 minutes, I would have expected his/her reply to be something longer, unlike short sentences such as 'ok', ' lol', 'oh I see' etcetera. They all seem to be perfunctory to me if I've waited more than I should. Unless you've some urgent matters to ask or you're on with something else, if not I feel very uncomfortable for you have tested my patience every time, and I did not find trouble for it.
I'm fine if you do it once in a while, but not when it has become so habitual and happens EVERY SINGLE TIME we chat, because very often these people make me fade out and I myself have become perfunctory when it comes to chatting with them.
It's okay if you're not up for a chat, but I feel disparaged if you start up a conversation and end up replying in a perfunctory way.
I think, this is a matter of respect too. Don't make me feel like I've wasted my time chatting with you in exchange for a 'lol', ' hehehe' from you.
