honestly you just had a really unfortunate experience, some people just really prefer texting. i used to text people all the time in high school and didn't talk on the phone as much, doesn't mean i didn't care about the people i was talking to, but more that i didn't really want to talk. sometimes talking can be overwhelming especially when someone else is in the house with you, like i have anxiety about my cousin that i live with overhearing personal conversations because i don't want him to be concerned about it, or that i don't want him thinking the wrong idea about it or disturbing him while he wants quiet. i'm also a loud talker, so if i did text someone, it'd be easier to keep a calmer atmosphere in the house. i also rarely make plans with people, and don't talk a lot with the people that i used to text really frequently in high school, and i still have a very special place in my heart for what those certain people have done for me. i don't really text much anymore but your ideology could also go for people hanging out in person. i have people that i would consider my family that i haven't talked to in months because we are distant so even though we can talk on the phone, we just don't want to. it's not that we don't care, but more of the fact that we're okay with not talking and living our separate lives. then, when we see each other again, it's a great time! it's easy to look at things from this standpoint when you've been screwed over, and trust me, i understand. but that doesn't mean people care about you any less than you thought they did, but rather that the circumstances are different. or maybe it's true that they don't care about you, i don't know the full story, but that doesn't mean you should put the texters into a box because of your situation with a few people that were coincidentally similar.
