Unlike their boomer ancestors, the current generations talk with their partners about all sorts of things, not just about sex and dinner. Almost as if they are not only sexual partners but also close friends that understand each other.
I don’t think anyone who ever texted like that is still under 25 anymore. It rapidly dropped off around 2010 as smartphones with full keyboards became widespread, and not using full words was a signal that you hadn’t got one yet. That was fifteen years ago, so to still be under 25, you’d have had to be texting people while aged under ten, and people didn’t give preteens phones back then.
Kids these days 100% use similar shorthand, and often think proper capitalization, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are “too ChatGPT” or “aggressive.”

TL;DR: Ok, boomer.
TIL my under 25 peers are unsophisticated because dinner and sex is about all they talk about.
No, that’s just one of the many reasons your friends are unsophisticated

I’m just surprised they can communicate when

You’re being pedantic.

not even kids. i’m in my 40s and my 30s friends think my texts w/ complete sentences are ‘too demanding and aggressive’.
so i stop texting them and i call them then they tell me I’m ‘violating their boundaries’.
THEN they while about how anti-social everyone is these days… i just gave up.
many people seem truly committing to being miserable no matter what.
i miss the early 2010s when people were more laid back. now everyone is hyper critical of every tiny thing for some reason.
