For me the thing which i do the most is adding “…” Multiple times between the sentences or at the last of the sentences. 😭

I finally found out about the ellipses phenomenon amongst the older gen a while ago, and how it was a common format in writing that they tried to transfer to texting and millennials constantly misinterpret as it passive aggression, which causes all sorts of anxiety lol
Shit you not, once asked for a recommendation letter from a summer job employer on campus for an open mic music lounge I hadn’t visited in a long time, and all he emailed me back was
“Sure…”
Needless to say, I thought “Oh fuck, he hates me. Nevermind. I should have come by more-” and never bothered to follow up on it lmfao

Well i think I just use multiple ellipses to show that I’m thinking before I answer. Without ellipses, it sounds too fast and straightforward.
