7 Ways to Communicate Online That Annoy Everyone

There is no way out: nowadays, much of our communication is done via social networks and instant messaging applications. Unfortunately, not all people can turn a blind eye to some of the annoying habits that friends and acquaintances have when chatting via the Web.

O awesome.club gathered for you a list of the most made and most irritating mistakes in online communication, capable of taking anyone seriously. Read and reflect: do you also not forget the virtual tag from time to time?

It’s one thing to want to share your thoughts with your contacts as soon as possible, which can result in very short sentences, more practical to type. Another thing is to separate entire sentences into words. The truth is, no one likes to receive an avalanche of super-short messages. By doing this, you literally “trap” your interlocutor on the screen, forcing him to see how his thoughts are formulated.

Now imagine another situation: your interlocutor is busy, with his cell phone in the opposite corner of the house. Suddenly, with every passing second, the person starts receiving notifications for your messages, making noise throughout the house. Therefore, it is always better to formulate the reasoning more concisely. Or type the entire text on one line instead of clicking “Send” all the time.

Another nasty habit that bothers a lot of people. Saying just a “hi”, the person may even be wanting to be kind, but at the same time leaves the interlocutor in suspense. Is he expecting a “hi” in response? This also includes the “Hi, are you there?” variations, etc. Remember this rule and try to put it into practice.

“Good morning”, “Happy Saturday”, “Have a beautiful day”, “Happy Postman’s Day”: if you’ve never received a message with similar content, consider yourself lucky. Whenever any holiday is approaching, the “message bombers” are ready to attack their victims. Greeting cards with popular messages hardly move anyone, in addition to overloading the cell phone memory🇧🇷 If you want to congratulate someone for a certain reason, write a few sincere and personal sentences. Or just give them a tight hug.

You must have at least one friend like that, one of those who like to share even the smallest details of their lives. They post pictures of every building, tree or flower they come across. Super cool, right? #OnlyNo

Social networks are even getting smarter, finding ways to combat the so-called overposting (posts in excessive numbers): half of them don’t even appear on the followers’ timeline. Unless you’re a news outlet, this amount of content is simply useless.

When you apply the right number of emojis and hashtags, it helps to understand that content. However, it is strange when the internet user adds an emoji after each sentence, as if he needed to explain the meaning to the “idiot” of the interlocutor.

The same thing happens with hashtags: bloggers have long since learned to hide hashtags in comments, but some users continue to use them in large numbers and in every post (and the worst thing is that these hashtags often have no meaning).

Your caller may find it uncomfortable to hear a voice message at any given time. Also, when we speak out loud, we tend to add unnecessary details to the message, making the relevant information much smaller than it would in a text. And another particularly annoying habit is sending voice messages made up of just one or two words. Audio messages are heavier than text messages, and if the caller has a bad Internet signal, the message takes longer than usual to load. Also, it is impossible to select texts in voice messages (when necessary) or to do a search, as texts allow. That is: before sending a voice message, ask the other person if, by any chance, it will bother them.

Speaking of which, here’s a little trick: on WhatsApp, if you get a voice message and you’re not wearing headphones, click “Play” and bring the device to your ear. The sound will come through the front speaker, allowing only you to hear the message.

It’s always good to avoid putting other people in uncomfortable situations: maybe your friend wanted to keep the fact that she went to that party last Friday a secret. Or the person may simply not like the photo they were tagged in. Therefore, the ideal is to ask the person’s permission before tagging them in anything. Another similar and equally uncomfortable habit is tagging other users in comments for giveaways.

These are the habits that irritate app and social media users the most. But obviously, the decision of what to write and publish is all yours.
