There is always a confusion in choosing among two particular options. The options which we have are, Talking in person or in a call and texting with the same person using any possible online platform.
When we ask people about it, Everybody has their own opinion on the available options. Some might think that chatting is better than speaking to a person and the reasons behind it are
1. We can convey something which we can't while speaking.
2. We build a lengthy conversation instead of ending it with just a few minute talk.
3. We get an opportunity to convey in a better way and it is always easy to type and check when compared with searching for words to fill while speaking.
4. We don't need to face the person directly when the matter is sensitive and when we don't want to say on the person's face.
There are many other reasons behind why people do prefer chatting as a medium when it comes to conveying something.
But many people have their own doubts and had always been in a dilemma.
Though chatting has its advantages, But, people are not so sure about how they are receiving the intentions of the sender.
Intentions, there is always a problem when we take intentions into consideration. Everybody reads while typing the message, they read in their own way, in their own kind of tone and they might have a different intent and purpose for putting that sort of message. What if the receiver takes it the other way and which conveys a different intent which is obviously not the exact thing possessed by the sender?
There are different scenarios that arise when the intentions of a person have a higher priority than any other aspect. The receiver may not understand the seriousness involved in the issue if the intention of the sender is to convey how serious it is. The tone always plays a key role in putting the intentions in the foreground.
If the intention is to convey the concern, there is a possibility that readers might take it as an uncooperative behavior. If it is to explain the situation, it might sound like an attempt to prove the person wrong. There are many other scenarios and there is always a possibility of encountering consequences. If we fail to convey the right intentions, we might end up losing the relationship, we might end up losing our job and many more losses.
How artificial it is when it comes to chatting, it is the majority of the people's opinion who were subjected to its usual bad consequences. The perspective of people who don't chat and like to talk is, " If you were good friends and don't meet them most the times and just chat for hours regularly, Then you are just thinking that you were good friends. One day if one person stops messaging, you'll not feel it with your heart, you'll not be depressed and it takes very less time to get out of it because the bond you have is so artificial"
Speaking to a person directly does most of the job complete. The tone, the pattern and the intention will have a higher impact and a stable result.The words that you speak will always reach the heart and there is always a chance to become closer to the person. We are humans, we have the ability, we can talk and talking is beautiful.
It's good to chat for some time but it is always right to speak directly and it is what we need and this is what is recommended.
