Of course not, if I was chatting with you I’d feel like I was bothering you.
“How are you?”
“Listening to music”
“What band?”
“It’s on shuffle, I think it’s Metallica”
“What song from them? I live Metallica”
“IDK, let me check. It’s ‘Sad But True’. I think it’s actually good”.

“What are you up to today?”
“Watching TV”
“What show?”
“It’s Rick and Morty, but don’t tell anyone”
“Why?”
“I’m don’t want others to think I’m an incel or something”
My mom and mother-in-law are in their 80s, and they’re not great texters but you can tell they’re making an effort, and that counts a lot. It’s not about caring how well you text, but how a series of dry answers might make your friends feel like a nuisance.
You need to “groom” others to care about you so they tolerate antisocial behaviors, but not all people can be groomed this way.
