Curious if you're a millennial. I never used to use lol, then everyone I texted was using it and I felt like if I didn't I was coming across as too serious and not friendly so I started using it, then people started to make fun of everyone who used it and say it was a millennial thing and now I'm so self conscious every single time I use it but I can't stop
It's definitely a millennial thing! I embrace it now because fuck it, I'm old it's fine haha. Younger people are going to find me cringe no matter what lol
/me crumbles to dust
Yeah, those 40 are too close right now lol
Im 41 and time just wont stop going lol
Are you cringe or just a mirror of their own internalized shame, lol.
The habit runs deep. I remember everyone using "lol" constantly on ICQ and AIM lol
