actually, i just kind of stopped using the pointless “filler” things in the conversation.. ‘haha’ has pretty much just been put away for when i’m actually laughing & have nothing else to say.. i’ve found that my conversations aren’t totally dreadful to read anymore since i’ve started treating things more like a regular face to face conversation.. it’s like i forgot there was someone on the other side of the conversation, and then i realized how boring and repetative talking to me must seem.. so i changed it.
