Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about them nasty text messages, the ones that make your blood boil, you know? The kind that just ain’t right. We gotta figure out how to deal with ’em, ’cause nobody deserves that kind of trouble.
What are these nasty text messages, anyway?
Well, it’s like this. Someone’s sendin’ you messages, right? And they ain’t nice. They might be callin’ you names, sayin’ mean things, makin’ you feel small. Maybe they’re even threatenin’ you, makin’ you scared. That’s what I call nasty, and it ain’t okay. It’s like they’re tryin’ to poke you with a stick, over and over again, through that little phone screen. It can be an ex, a friend, or even some stranger. Don’t matter who it is, it’s wrong.
Why do people send such awful text messages?
Now, I ain’t no shrink, but I reckon some folks just like to be mean. Maybe they’re hurtin’ inside and wanna make you hurt too. Maybe they think they’re big and tough by makin’ you feel weak. Or maybe they’re just plain ignorant, don’t know no better. Some of ’em, they want to control you, make you do what they want. They use them words like weapons, tryin’ to break you down. It’s like they got poison in their hearts, and it leaks out through their thumbs.
- They might be angry at you.
- They might want to hurt your feelings.
- They might be trying to control you.
- They might just not know how to behave.
What can you do about it?
First thing’s first, you gotta tell ’em to stop. Yeah, just like that. Tell ’em straight up, “Don’t you be sendin’ me no more messages like that!” You gotta be firm, let ’em know you ain’t gonna stand for it. If they keep on, don’t argue. It’s like talkin’ to a brick wall, ain’t gonna get you nowhere.
And listen here, keep them nasty messages. Don’t delete ’em. Why? ‘Cause you might need ’em later. Like if things get real bad, you gotta have proof of what they been doin’. Take a picture of the screen or somethin’. Just keep ’em safe, just in case.
Now, the easiest thing to do, and sometimes the best, is to just block ’em. Your phone’s got that fancy blockin’ thing, right? Use it! Shut ’em out. Don’t let ’em get to you no more. It’s like slammin’ the door in their face, but without the noise. If they try to reach out on social media, block them there too. Cut ’em off completely. Sometimes, that’s the only way to get some peace.
Protecting yourself is key. If you feel like you’re in danger, you need to tell someone. Tell a friend, a family member, the police, somebody! Don’t keep it to yourself. Ain’t nothin’ to be ashamed of. And if those messages are threats, real threats, you gotta take it serious. Go to the police, get help. Don’t wait around for somethin’ bad to happen.
Ignoring them messages might work sometimes. But if they keep comin’ and they’re really gettin’ to you, you gotta do somethin’ more. You can’t just let them keep pestering you and makin’ your life miserable. It ain’t healthy, and it ain’t right. You deserve better than that. You deserve to feel safe and happy, not scared and worried all the time.
Dealing with an ex sending awful messages?
That’s a whole different kettle of fish. Sometimes, they just can’t let go. They’re bitter and they wanna make you pay. Same rules apply, though. Tell ’em to stop, keep the messages, block ’em if you have to. But sometimes, with an ex, it’s harder. They know your buttons, they know how to push ’em. You gotta be strong. Don’t let them drag you back into their drama. You moved on for a reason. Remember that.
What if it doesn’t stop?
If you’ve done all that, and they still keep at it, you gotta get some help. Talk to a lawyer, maybe. See what you can do legally. Sometimes, you gotta get the law involved to make ’em stop. Don’t be afraid to do that. You got rights, and you deserve to be protected.
Remember this: You ain’t alone. Lots of folks get these nasty messages. It ain’t your fault. And you don’t have to put up with it. Be strong, be brave, and do what you gotta do to protect yourself. Don’t let nobody steal your joy. You’re worth more than a bunch of nasty words on a screen. You hear me?
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now go on and take care of yourselves. And don’t let them nasty text messages get you down.
