Texting plate and she says:
"I'm overrated anyway"
I didn't think this was the time to agree and amplify so I waited a while and simply responded:
"Yes"
What should I do in the future?
UPDATE:
Few hours later she texts me apologizing for bringing bad vibes into our conversation:
"Yeah that was extra twat-y of me so felt the need to apologize. I think I was lashing out because us hooking up is real possibility again but obviously that's not the ideal move for either of us"
^ AKA we will hook up again.
Thanks for the assistance, boys!

"Glad I didn't have to tell you."
"True."
"We agree, then."
"That's the consensus."

She is seeking validation from you. Don't give it. Every validation you give puts you one step closer to the friendzone.

Agree and Amplify is the best thing to do in almost any situation.

False modesty/ false vulnerability/ exaggerated insecurity is a common tactic used by women to garner sympathy/validation.
Treat like any shit test, and don't give many rats' asses.

She's fishing for complements.

"I know."
In general, keep it simple.

"Yup."

You did the right thing.

"I know". (sly smirk)
If the chemistry is there "maybe you'll do anyway".
Then touch her, move her around, to the dance floor, to the bar... or to a quiet corner.

Ignore it as much as possible, if it has to be adressed then you say as little as possible alá: "You're alright - come, let's go out for some drinks".

I would say something like "I wouldn't be talking to you if you were overrated" instead of insulting her further because I don't have autism.
Also, texting doesn't matter.

Funny how you advice is the complete opposite of everyone else's haha

Happiness is the ultimate form of abundance, trp has a hard time understanding that because being happy involves openly giving value to people and everyone is told to do the exact opposite here.

The other comments communicate the what you are trying to communicate via straight talk more effectively. By saying something like "Yup", which is the opposite of what she is expecting, you diffuse the situation. She will look at you with mock indignation and with a big smile on her face and playfully hit your massive bicep. You just sub-communicated to her:
Women read and respond to the sub-communication behind your words, your motivations not their contents. What your straight talk has managed to sub-communicate to her is:

It also serves to shut this shit down. I don't want to hear negativity, making fun of her for it will instantly reduce her tendency to vocalize this bullshit.

Is there some kind of translation of English to "sub-communication" you can link to?
From where are you getting all of this?

That's all fine I'm not the most alpha man in the world, but you just wrote a 200 word analyzation of a 1 word reply in a text message.
When I'm socializing with anyone, I'm not thinking about what I'm sub communicating and I'm not thinking about what the other person thinks of me. I'm amusing myself and giving value, which takes the form a compliment or a joke or a question/taking interest in what they're talking about, what have you. I have no reason to play a the vague mysteriousness card hoping that the person I'm talking to understands the implied meanings of what I'm trying to get across in a conversation because I don't care what direction the conversation goes or if this person likes me or not.
I stand behind that idea that what you say to a girl or anyone really doesn't matter as long as you have a high self-esteem and a high level of implied confidence in yourself and everything that you do.

The words you say are a direct reflection of your self-percieved value. They matter.

This is a mistake, regardless of who you are communicating with.
