When you text someone important and get no reply. Often leads to a resending of texts or calls to make sure they received it (along with the danger of looking desperate). Can invoke anxiety that you wont ever get a text back.
Justin: Dude, she hasn't texted me back yet! Maybe I should resend the text to make sure she got it...

Ryan: Dude, you sound desperate...Sounds like you've got Text-Anxiety to me.

Justin: Shut up!

When you send a text and you wait anxiously for a reply. Mainly when sending to a person you are interested in or apologizing for a ridiculous action committed the night before in a drunken state.
8:30am -{You} "Hey (insert hot chick's name here), nice meeting you last night. Lets go out for a drink later this week."

9:00am-

10:00am- {you mention to your friend} I texted the hottie I met last night when i woke up this morning and she hasn't responded.
{friend} Damn bro, you got some serious ATA (Awaiting Text Anxiety). She probably was so drunk she hasn't got outta bed yet.

11:00am-

3:15pm- {Her} "Who is this?"

3:16pm- {You} damn

The anxiety you get when texting someone, typically most people with a
anxiety have this.

You freak out and fear of not knowing how to respond back, the conversation starts to become dull and now you have absolutely NOTHING to talk about, unless the person your texting comes up with something. you say "be right back" because you feel like you're constantly being judged behind the screen and leave them on seen for days, weeks, months, or even years.
Person 1: I remember when that too!

Person 2: ok

Person 1: sorry I dont know how to start a conversation I have Texting anxiety

Person 2: k

Person 1: be right back
