I totally overthink the way I style my text messages with capitalization and punctuation. I don’t think I could ever articulate why a specific message ends up where it does beyond “tone somehow feels better than the other choices”. I definitely don’t have hard rules like this comic, like a period usually does read like the bottom one here but there are still occasions where it will just feel more relaxed/down-to-earth to me.

Probably no one I text with gives a shit.
