Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude?
This is a 2-in-1 question, I suppose. I type the way I do. I’ve always typed this way, but I’ve noticed when interacting with people (not on here) that people always think I’m far older than 19. They think I’m in my forties or fifties.
Also, I tend to type using full stops, which people may think are rude. When I’m typing a full sentence, though, I end it with a period. If I say, “He’s being an asshole,” (with a period), I mean that as a fact, not out of anger. It just happens to be ended with a period since it’s a sentence.
Good thing it's a child asking the question? Great job dunking on a 19 year old, really shows your maturity to attack the validity of a question on a forum called NoStupidQuestions.
What does this have to do with maturity? The post didn't even seem like it came from insecurity, merely curiosity.
There's a linguistic shift happening where people tend to not use periods in short form communications (sms, dms, etc..). So older people who may not be as plugged in to the youth culture sill use them. So it only makes sense someone would be seen as older if they did.
I think it's trying to understand society and his place in it. These aren't bad questions. At a certain point you rather know where you fit and other people be damned. But at 19, your trying to understand how other people think still. You have your own thought process and are still getting used to other adults not processing information the way you do.
