I feel maybe its because my responses have been so short. maybe I am coming across as not friendly.

I found I had the same problem. Wife commented that my texts sounded snippy at C. I have started putting a Hi at the beginning of my texts. I also read it outl oud and try to see what tone it would come across as. I am very blunt and have to really try to make sure my txts don't seem short, snippy or unfriendly.

I think I will try working on making sure I do come across friendly even when it is short. So I'll try what you said helps you. And see if this makes a difference. Maybe I was being a bit stubborn, I remember putting thanks at the end of a txt recently and then I thought to myself(annoyed) why should I thank him for asking if I am ok,etc. he should do that anyway so I took it off. Maybe if I keep in mind how would I respond to any other friend it will help too.
