Adjust your texting.
JK and IDK — these are the most common phrases people use while texting and, alas, it seems they are not the best friends to rely on, at least from what the American Psychological Association’s study shows.

The theory here is that brief messages are perceived as requiring less effort and that can be quite damaging to your relationships when you come across as if you simply couldn’t be bothered.
Thus, if you are typing something critical, it is better to type full propositions, and it will cause more positive conversations.
Move around!
