Text messages can’t accurately convey your emotions, thoughts, gestures, and, most importantly - tone. That’s why miscommunication over texts due to misreading or misinterpretation is common. However, carefully articulating a clear message can help you demonstrate empathy and kindness without ambiguity. “ I hear what you’re saying,” “I know this can be difficult,” and “ I understand how you’re feeling” are a few empathetic statements you can fit in your text message to display your empathy with the ailing individual.
