That's a good point, Lucy. That's why you need to take time to read check what you write again and again before sending it to the one you are upset with. Doing so, there is chance you will change your mind and not send the letter.

When I used to get really upset with someone, I would write a letter (remember those ). I have gotten much better at vocalizing my feelings as I have gotten older, but many times in the heat of things, I still clam up. I will however, send a text saying that I need to talk to the person I am upset with.

I am good neither in speaking nor in writing LOL. Though, if I had something to communicate with my spouse, I would prefer to talk to her to make sure that I am not misunderstood.

I would rather talk it out too instead of texting it out. You can take a lot of things from a text message. You can't see the persons body language or anything. I wouldn't text anything to try to work something out or to tell someone that I was upset with them.

I think it really depends on your character. If you tend to get carried away with what you are saying and do not think before you say it, particularly in an argument, a text message may be better but it is a lot less personal and maybe even serious. Sometimes just talking about it can clear a lot of misunderstandings.

I am not good in talking with people. I am more a writing than speaking person, so I would agree with this. Writing text messages, I have enough time to think what and how I will say.

I don't think you should text either. I mean just don't talk to them until you are ready to talk sensibly. I like Natasha's answer about taking the message the wrong way!

I do not agree with that at all. I think you should talk to the person face to face. People can read different things into text messages. They could get more upset or even you could by taking something in the message the wrong way.

I love text messaging when I am angry. Especially when I am trying to communicate with my spouse. He is pig headed sometimes and doesn't listen. He usually gets what I am saying when I text it. He reads it and lets it sink in.

I think this may be an okay temporary fix. I think the peope could get so attached on this mode of communication that they don't fix the actual problem. Also, it's even easier to confuse one emotion for another over text. So the anger may come across even harsher.

When you are upset with someone, it's better to communicate your strong feelings to him/her through text messages instead of a phone call. Sending text messages, you will have more time to think about what you will tell the person and keep yourself from getting the situation worse. At least that's what my friend told me. What do you think?
