Am I the only one who can't stand the emoji/modern slang culture in texting and talking?

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I never found the excessive use of emojis or abbreviating your talk (fam, gang, squad, lit, woke), especially by adults anything but extremely cringeworthy, insencere, superficial and embarassing, like the ultimate attempt to conform to what you think is "cool" which only reveals how little substance there is to your own character. Maybe it's the connection with the whole tik tok culture (most braindead app to date). I don't know, maybe you want to go ahead and denounce me for it but this is my honest opinion, that's just me. But I'd want to bring back proper discourse and valuing some sagaciousness.

You’re not the only one. What I can’t stand most is how Gen Z carries whole conversation totally with memes and shit like “I feel seen.” I’m a writer, so I actually type out complete sentences with correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation about 90% of the time. I think emojis and internet speak should be used in moderation.

It is not just you. I hate texting so much I have messages disabled on my phone.

👀👀👀🫣... I love my emojis. In a hypothetical date or romantic interest female scenario to me for a woman into me: If she don't like my emojis, I guess she ain't gonna be my friends with benefits or my girlfriend, so ah wells 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻🙃🙃🙃🥳

I'd happily remain single and dateless to keep my emojis habits 😜😜😜😬

Emojis are much like tiktok for children and child molesters

I don't think all who use it are child molesters but I'm sure those who are may use them vigorously.
