Why does Python only respond to the second message to the bot?

Question

Python

import telebot
import random
import pymorphy2

lst_1 = ["ПРИВЕТ", "КУ", "ЗДАРОВ", "ЗДАРОВА", "КУ-КУ", "КУ_КУ", "GHBDTN", "RE", "PLFHJD", "PLFHJDF","RE_RE", "RE-RE"]
lst_2 = ["Привет", "Здарова", "Ку-ку", "Хай", "Привет-привет", "Какая вствеча", "Приветствую вас", "Рад вас видеть", "Какая встреча"]

name = ""
guard = 0

bot = telebot.TeleBot("###")

@bot.message_handler(content_types = ["text", "document", "audio"])

def get_name(message):
    global name
    name = message.from_user.username
    bot.register_next_step_handler(message, get_text_message)

def get_text_message(message):
    global guard

    if message.text.upper() in lst_1 or guard == 0:
        
        guard = 1

        bot.send_message(message.from_user.id, f"{lst_2[random.randint(0, len(lst_2))]}, {name}!")

    else:
        bot.send_message(message.from_user.id, "Придумайте что-нибудь другое, я вас не понимаю!")
        
        
    bot.register_next_step_handler(message, get_text_message)

bot.polling(none_stop = True, interval = 0)

Answer 1

It is not entirely clear what you are sending him, would explain.
But you are using register_next_step_handler . If you use it, then you should understand what it is. And in that case your whole question seems very strange.
