Hello
I have this person who texts me but doesn't ask many if any questions. In general doesn't help keep the conversation going though they started it. Usually they just say hello and then it's up to me to keep it going. It ends up feeling like a one ended conversation. What do I do? Do I not reply (sounds rude to me) or try and talk to them? What do I say after I say hello to them? I usually say hello how are you doing? But if we just talked two days ago sounds repetitive.
Suggestions please
Thank you

So much good stuff here lol. I love that link Miri .
Do you think this person is texting me just because they feel like they required to talk to me? Like they think I'm friend less and they should be there for me or they think it would hurt me if they stopped texting me. Because most of the time it feels like they not interested that much or perhaps I don't interest them lol...

Sounds like my conversations. I'm not much of a conversationalist. For me, just an exchange of "hello" is often more than adequate. I find that I have very little to talk about with most people when it comes down to it, so things like these forums are nice because I make a statement and just let it hang out in space for someone to reply to or not. It's fine either way.
tl;dr - nothing to get worked up over. If you don't want to carry a conversation, don't. Communication is two-way, and right now it's only you doing the work. Stop.

HS, is this someone you know in person? if so, do they talk to you much in person?
i remember back in my really shy, introvert days, i was able to chat with people with no problem, but then talking with that individual in person was challenging to me. maybe it's backward for this person [if you know them in person that is lol]

If it were me (which it's not, so only consider this my skewed and twisted view of the world), but if it were me and I put out a "hello", I am no longer obligated to the conversation unless they reply. If they don't reply, I do nothing. If they do, then I have to choose to continue the conversation. At each step and each exchange, each person has to make the decision to continue the conversation or not.
