This time, however, we are going to discuss texting styles. What’s a texting style, you might ask. Well, if you text often, you must have a methodical approach to it.

Make way for the Emojis
Emojis have become a vital component in our texting games. However, if you use emojis frequently, it might mean that you are expressive and open to reveal your emotions. Even though everything is digital, you want others to know how’re feeling. Also, to emphasize what tone you are texting in, you always make sure to use an emoji and that’s completely fine. According to a research study, emojis were found to be an effective aid in modern social communication. Furthermore, they were used to build intimacy and reveal self-disclosure.
Quick and Short Texting Game
People who tend to reveal their thoughts in short and quick texts rather than long ones are usually energetic. In fact, you might be the cool kid and super popular with your friends! Also, you tend to use ‘text language’ like brb, lol, omg, smh, rotfl, ikr, irl, uwu, lmao, etc. Now, others might perceive you as lazy because you tend to write extremely short texts, but, they are just wrong.

Finally, my kind of texting style.

Do you want me to write on a particular topic? You can contact me below and I’ll try my level best to cooperate.
Currently, I am a student of Fatima Jinnah Women University. With a burning passion for psychology, words, and dreams, I decided to abandon medical studies for humanities. These days, when I’m not listening to ballads, watching movies, or sitting down with a good novel, I am rigorously studying Hangul (Korean language) to satisfy my obsession for BTS and K dramas. I’m a thinking introvert and INFJ personality. Therefore, I like ‘me time’. My articles typically resonate with psychological well-being advice.
