          Edit: Is it just me, or do the examples of this symbol in writing look nothing like each other, nor like the Unicode symbol they adopted?

            I mean, beyond just being a marker denoting the end of a work, it seems like it was the scribe’s own little flair - like a visual signature.

            I guess it being generified in Unicode is the only real tradeoff you could make.

              Looking at the examples, I think a signature or watermark is almost definitely the best way I would describe a coronis

    People really ought to take into consideration the person they’re talking to, rather than apply the cultural norms they hold for themselves onto something as minute as tone implied by punctuation.

              No lol

              I’m saying people with anxiety think about what you said and then also think “Oh god. Why can’t I just be normal? Just don’t worry about it. Think about it another way. be normal. People know you aren’t normal. You just need to reframe the situation. You can’t reframe the situation. You’re the problem.”

              So like I said, be more understanding?

                You say all this under the false assumption I don’t have anxiety. I’m literally just saying anyone can try to be more understanding of other perspectives.

                  Yet you aren’t being understanding that anxiety may affect others differently than it affects you.

      How do I know they are being genuine with me? If they aren’t genuine, do I need to mask or can I be my free self without them judging me? What would they think of me if I went full, raw self? I could never, they would see how much garbage can imitate a person. I need to be the person they want to talk to instead of me. How do I know they are being genuine with me?

      The Exclamation makes the theoretical anxious person imagine the other person as excited, but ending with a period makes the anxious person imagine the other person hates them.
