If you text often, you likely have a “texting style”. Do you often use emojis? Or what about using correct punctuation ( 标点 )? What do all these texting habits say about you? To help you understand yourself, here are some texting styles that can tell you a lot about your personality.
Do you always use emojis when you’re texting? You’re most likely someone who is open to showing your emotions and is truthful. 1 . To make sure the other person doesn’t get the wrong idea about your messages, you make sure to express the tone of messages with an emoji, which can be often used as effective signals in modern social communication.
If you like to respond in one-word texts like a quick “Good”, then you most likely have a more reserved personality, and aren’t as open with your true thoughts and feelings. Because you are not as open with your emotions in texts, you may not care how lengthy your response is. But be careful. 2 .
Do you value punctuation and grammar in your writing? This love of grammar goes straight into your texts as well as your emails. This seems like a great thing, doesn’t it? But in texting, people seem to think otherwise. Simply placing a period at the end of sentences in texts can make you come across as untrustworthy to others. 3 . With this texting style, you are rooted in logic and always pay attention to the little details.
Are your texts lengthy and thoughtful? 4 . Similar to someone who texts with perfect grammar, you are a thoughtful and detail-oriented person, who enjoys deep conversations and likes things that are controlled and stable.
5 . Which texting personality are you? Are you a mix of several types? It’s important to note that everyone has different ways of texting in different situations. Everyone texts their colleagues in a different style from their family or their friends. If you ever think someone may have left you an unclear or rude text, it’s better to just ask them in-person what they meant or what they were feeling.
A . Do you relate to any of these texting personalities?
