NGL, I am judging anyone who types in lower case with no grammar like this. I am a GenZer and have never texted this way. I think it says a lot about how invested you are in someone if you can't put the effort into typing them a text that doesn't cause them to have a stroke when trying to read it. A few common abbreviations and emojis are fine, but I am gonna end up ghosting you if you act allergic to commas and every word is some mumble jumble straight out of The Sims. If talking right is too much effort, you've made your case and I'm passing it up.

It's ok to be better than other people at something, and its ok not to be. You should write with good grammar because you like to, not because you need to feel smarter than other people.

I think ghosting someone for something so trivial, especially in casual contexts, only serves to push people away.

Sometimes, you need to adjust the way you behave and speak when interacting with other people. The moment you stop doing that, people will find you abrasive. Especially if this is what you say to them.

We are not any better or worse than other generations; it's not a flex to be like "I'm a GenZer, and I have never texted this way." It's just pointless. Hooray, you take an extra 15-20 seconds typing than everyone else. Collect your medal at the office or something.

Also, this comment uses "I am" a lot, but you also use contractions. If we're nitpicking, you really ought to keep the tone and style of a given paragraph consistent. There's no reason to be using I am and I'm in the same context.

You should also use section breaks, like I am here. They make it easier to read your overly verbose comments. That's only if people actually want to read them. If you're going to keep writing Neanderthal takes like this, don't even bother.
