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.
I think I would have dialed the police's number even before having finish reading these lines...

I get that having a miscarriage is tough but...Oh my gods. That's kinda creepy.
It must have really messed up her brain. It's so sad. Severe depression can cause delusions.

It is so sad how far from reality the person who sent this message must be. Post partum psychosis is my guess.
This is like Blood Brothers but if it was set in the 2010s instead of the 1960s.
Oh wow. I would call the police and get a restraining order immediately that's so creepy
This is why anyone who suffers a loss or tragedy should be referred for psychological counseling.
This is so sad and scary at the same time. She is probably so depressed that she gets a bit delusional. You can really feel how hurt she is. At the same time it sounds really dangerous.
I would set up a meeting and invite the authorities along bc this is messed up in so many ways! It's these kinds of ppl who kidnap n murder pregnant women for their babies!
Whoa. Get all her info and call the authorities. This is the type of person that kidnaps newborns. She needs help
I made almost the exact same comment! Jus different wording!

What are strangers doing texting you anyway? If they're not in my contact list, they don't text me. Are people in your contact list giving your number to strangers?
That's just creepy. I feel bad that she lost hers, and maybe this is how she's coping, but still asking someone to pull a black market stunt is definitely wrong. There's plenty of kids in foster care looking for a home.
This is really really sad. If it's real, the girl who had a miscarriage must be severely depressed and extremely delusional, (which can go together). I hope people like this are able to find the help they need. It can be really difficult but when we as a community and society make sure not to stigmatize mental illnesses it can literally save lives.
No but can you mail me the things you bought for her? (Tell neighbor expect a package and Give neighbors address)
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 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.
