Every text is different. There are awkward texts from your ex, wrong number texts, and text fails. But there’s a whole new category of texts that are here for our entertainment. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the cursed collection of texts with very threatening auras.
And by threatening, we mean it. According to Urban Dictionary, threatening aura refers to “a place, person or object that makes you feel like you're in danger just by looking at it, sometimes characterized by unsanitary condition.” So imagine if a text message was a hedgehog cake, that’s the cursed spirit we’re talking about.
Thanks to this rapidly growing Twitter page by the same name, “Texts With Threatening Auras,” we have a lot of painfully awkward and horridly amusing texts to look at. Get your salty caramel popcorn ready, and upvote the best ones as you go!

There’s an interesting paradox at the heart of modern communication. We’ve never had more ways to reach each other, and yet people have never been harder to reach. Messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, Email, Twitter, someone said a text message? Also known as SMS, it was originally defined as part of the GSM series of standards in 1985 as a means of sending messages of up to 160 characters, to and from GSM mobile handsets.
Having in mind that text messages are 37 years old, it’s only fair to wonder whether this mode of communication is still relevant. I mean, it looks like a fossil compared with new means of reaching people. But part of why SMS hasn't died yet has to do with its everlasting appeal we may underestimate.
There are a few solid reasons: first, it’s the primary tool for people who don’t have smartphones. More and more people are ditching their smartphones and online presence since messaging apps are distracting from their studies, work or leisure time. Plus, there’s no need to download a proprietary software to communicate with others since it’s already always on your phone, whatever that is.
Short message texts are also known for being the most effective when there is a need to communicate urgent or critical business information or on the go. Meanwhile, limited characters in SMS texts allow for imparting business information concisely to the end user. And unlike email, you aren’t limited to a smartphone or a computer to receive a text message. This is all because people actually read text messages. In fact, more than 90 percent of people read a text message within the first three minutes of receiving it, according to MobileSQUARED, a mobile research firm.
The experts say that the enduring appeal of SMS has made it evolve in a way that it represents significant new opportunities for both mobile carriers and businesses. It’s simply because any number can now be equipped to send and receive text messages. According to Wired, that means 200 million existing business landline and toll-free numbers can be text-enabled. “Now, businesses can send and receive text messages from the same numbers that they have used for decades—numbers that their customers know and have programmed into their mobile devices.”
They texted twice during work hours. They don't even know if they are being ignored or if the other person is simply busy at work. This is one of those 'nice guys'.
What’s more, people are very likely to engage with those businesses via text messages since that’s their primary mode of daily communication with other businesses. “Consumers, meanwhile, can bypass calling to text their favorite neighborhood restaurant for reservations or their auto repair shop to see when their car will be ready. That means they can use the mode of communication they vastly prefer to connect with businesses. It means they’re going to be more engaged with those businesses.” And that’s why the good old SMS is not going anywhere, and if anything, it’s here to stay.
What does it take to get these men to understand that women want to have sex with people they've formed a connection with (as do all sexually inclined healthy adults)? If you aren't prepared to put in the work to form these connections you don't deserve sex.
This legit gave me a very clear visual lol oh god that's so sad

He has to reminder her who he is and that they once were in high school together, but has her phone number?
Oh, good gumdrops. "Baby girl" AND "*giggles*". That's the text equivalent of dragging one's snatch through a sandbox.
*Giggles*?? This utterly cringy text ends with *Giggles*? I'm completely outside the situation and I feel harassed and invaded in my own home. This guys reeks of insanity.
"Name at least 10 game developers high schools, birth dates and their mothers' maiden names or you are just a pReTEnD gamer girl! Also, Sims and Animal Crossing are not rEaL games!!!!!!;;!! "
Uck, the whole *shakes head in exasperation* nonsense is so cringeworthy and sickening
Uh, wow. That kind of stuff might have been cute as kids but it's not so cute when it's an adult doing it.
When people act differently from you, it's easy to judge. I've never shot my shot, so I've clearly never shot one like this, but some people get crazy anxiety when trying to talk to other people, even through text. If this is who you are, you gotta be aware that it's not a normal way to text people outside of specific forums, but hey... You might mess around and find someone who gets it and likes it. Do you, just be respectful.
Wait, what guy actually types this stuff? Swoons, giggles, blushes deeply, idk now I'm kinda scared.
I hate people who do that thing when not roleplaying I mean like *dies*
I loved the half eaten hotdog you tossed in the trash that I was hiding in. *giggles as I take a bite*
What's with all the blushes and giggles in these texts?! Aren't they supposed to be fully grown adults? Toddlers have more sense!
What's with all the giggles and blushes and action marks? Are these conversations or rpg's?
Is this something new, what's with all this *blushes deeply* and *hides face*???? Kinda creepy

This was incredibly stupid. Half of them are missing part of the screenshot. Most made zero sense. Do better BP.
None of these were really all that threatening. I expected better form BP.
Except the one asking to BUY A CHILD they were stalking on FB.😐

This felt like a bunch of random texts that BP didn’t have a title for so they called it “the most threatening texts”
You couldn't read the punchline of some of them. Needs to be re-edited
What's with all the stage directions? "I'd like to ask you out *blushes, makes a SpongeBob face* Are you free Friday?"
Its a roleplay thing. Some people are really into it but if you just like like that to anyone you assume is into rp its weird and akward and gross and doesnt depth corecctly and looks like a gross neckbeard mess. But yea. Also a means of expression.
