In text is harder but if you're typing paragraphs and getting 2-3 word responses it might be time.
This is all super helpful

It's definitely preferable to just start talking about something else the to announce it. But I struggle to do that because my problem is I can never think of a topic and I therefore go quiet unless I keep talking about the same thing.
