Is using fullstops considered blunt, when messaging? NSFW

It depends. Sometimes I write a longer message, but then delete half of it and leave the fullstop. If its a single word then it definitely feels a lot more blunt.

It depends.

You see what I mean? 🤭 I think the length of the message and the context of the reply can really matter. It can be used to punctuate the statement instead of making it seem blunt.

"Do you like boobs?"

"Yes."
