i don't use acronyms, often

so this kinda confuses me

from what i can tell, there's sort of an innate hierarchy going on where "lmao" is more intense than "lol"
but "LOL" in all caps can also be an intensifier

and what's a more intense expression of laughter--"lmao" or "rofl" or "LOL"?
how are you supposed to choose

do you even put that much thought into it, or is it all just arbitrary and you just pick whatever

"Lol" is the easiest to type, if I were to place down an acronym to lazily define my current emotions/expressions.

I never use those on here. I imagine I'd use 'lol' to say something's funny, though I didn't actually laugh, 'lmao' for something I laughed at, and rofl for something obscenely funny, which would never happen on this site.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
