I don't understand this notion.
I disagree that sending more messages before a response is a "universal trait of messaging" that signals social awkwardness and desperation.
I communicate with many of my friends of FB Messenger (and SMS etc.) and write my thoughts down quite liberally, spreading them across several different "messages". Sometimes I'll literally type a paragraph by typing one sentence at a time and pressing enter after completing each one. I guess it's a "fuck it, we'll do it live" mentality to writing.
As an aside, I'd love to see some research or discussion (perhaps someone knowledgeable can point it out?) about that very phenomena - writing very short sentences in succession over messenger and the relation of that to a in-person conversation.
