Using tone tags

I wish tone tags weren't such a meme, because they're genuinely helpful. Especially for a neurodivergent person like me. Sorry I can't tell tone in text all the time?? :/ Like I just used one with my friend because I was genuinely asking him why about something and didn't want him thinking I was making fun him, but he lowkey ended up making fun of me for it. And it's not like I need them for EVERY sentence, just sometimes it would be helpful...

I think it's not taken very seriously because something short like that is so easy to lie about or misconstrue and its also a whole other dictionary of tags you need to look up the meaning for. As someone who is highly autistic I've found it much easier for myself and also socially to simply ask people to tell me in plain words what tone they were conveying.

Uhh, I didn't realise those warnings were considered jokes. This is a platform full of young people, maybe it's a safe place /gen (I'm trying to get my head round the idea).
