There's Been Many Times I've Thought I've Upset Someone When It's Really Just Me Reading Too Much Into It - Tumblr Posts

it’s pretty much common knowledge on twitter but i don’t know if they’re widespread anywhere else? they might be, who knows, but i wanna make an informational post anyway

tone indicators!!!!

a tone indicator is a little addition to the end of a sentence, post, etc. that confirms the tone you typed it in! it’s REALLY helpful for neurodivergent people like me because in my own personal experience it’s hard for me to tell what people are exactly trying to say sometimes, especially over text. the main tone indicators i see people use are:

/j (joke)

/hj (half joking)

/lh (lighthearted)

/s (sarcasm)

/g or /gen (genuine)

/p (platonic)

/srs (serious)

/lyr (lyrics)

/c (copypasta)

/q (quote)

here are some examples:

i’m pissed off /srs

i love you!!! /p

wow way to go /s

i’ve been insensitive, i’m sorry /gen

so on and so forth!!! spread the word :)
