This is a 2-in-1 question, I suppose. I type the way I do. I’ve always typed this way, but I’ve noticed when interacting with people (not on here) that people always think I’m far older than 19. They think I’m in my forties or fifties.
Also, I tend to type using full stops, which people may think are rude. When I’m typing a full sentence, though, I end it with a period. If I say, “He’s being an asshole,” (with a period), I mean that as a fact, not out of anger. It just happens to be ended with a period since it’s a sentence.
no offense, but mature people wouldnt ask this question. its attention-seeking behavior often found in children.
What does this have to do with maturity? The post didn’t even seem like it came from insecurity, merely curiosity.
There’s a linguistic shift happening where people tend to not use periods in short form communications (sms, dms, etc…). So older people who may not be as plugged in to the youth culture sill use them. So it only makes sense someone would be seen as older if they did.
E: avoiding certain wording. Nothing substantive.
I’ll say that, and I’ll know from the downvotes just who needed to hear it.
I’d say it’s more insecurity
I think it’s trying to understand society and his place in it. These aren’t bad questions. At a certain point you rather know where you fit and other people be damned. But at 19, your trying to understand how other people think still. You have your own thought process and are still getting used to other adults not processing information the way you do.

What an insensitive take
Oh? Thanks for your input. Well, I’m a mere 19 year old.
This community is literally called “no stupid questions”. Don’t worry about it.
if you say so. not sure why it matters
You could shut the fuck up then instead of damaging a space called “no stupid questions” you started punching down at this kid.
Seriously go take a time out sit in s corner and actually think about what you have done
You just said why it matters in your previous post
I make this mistake all the time. Thanks for catching it! Maybe one day I’ll remember.
Huh. Good idea. I dunno, either.
