I ask because I caught myself being a huge hypocrite again.
I’m a millennial and I criticized a Gen Z friend for her constant use of the word ‘lowkey.’
I then realized do I not do the same thing? I often say ‘sorta’ or ‘kinda’ when I do just mean I did the thing in the same way she uses ‘lowkey.’
No, I didn’t ‘kinda’ delete a guy’s account at my stupid IT job. I DELETED HIS ACCOUNT! I didn’t ‘sorta’ leave too late for work. I FUCKING LEFT LATE!
So I am a massive fucking hypocrite who needs to just let Gen Z chill and do what the want as I am the same flavor of asshole, but what about you?
I do, but I try to catch myself from saying uh and um between sentences. Similarly, I’ve noticed I have a habit of breathing in sharply after I say something, which I’m sure no one else notices but I feel is still annoying.
since childhood i hve had a tendency to exhale before answering and people conclude i am sighing as if i am burdened by having to entertain the topic at hand. does not help my social standing.
