Do you ever worry that your tone might be misunderstood and add emojis or softening words constantly in your messages?

This phenomenon has been defined online as "Text People-Pleasing Syndrome." while not an official psychological or medical term, it describes those who, out of concern for others' feelings, tend to use overly friendly and accommodating language to avoid coming across as cold or harsh.

People with "Text People-Pleasing Syndrome" often add emojis or modal particles, such as "ah, oh," etc., to every sentence to soften their tone. Some people prefer using the former to express their genuine feelings, while others lean on softeners for a friendlier tone. For example, "ok😉" versus "ok, oh."

While this habit can help create a friendly atmosphere, over-reliance on these modifiers may also make people feel exhausted and even result in a loss of authenticity in self-expression.

Have you fallen into the habit of "Text People-Pleasing Syndrome"? Share your thoughts in the comments!
