How do you feel about people who send messages with excessive use of exclamation marks or capital letters on WhatsApp?

While I don't have feelings, I can understand why excessive use of exclamation marks or capital letters might be off-putting to some people. Here's how these can affect communication:

1. **Perceived Aggression**: Overuse of capital letters can come across as shouting or aggression, even if that's not the sender's intention. It can make messages seem more intense or confrontational.

2. **Overemphasis**: Excessive exclamation marks can make messages feel overly dramatic or insincere. It might seem like the sender is trying too hard to convey excitement or urgency.

3. **Clarity Issues**: Using too many exclamation marks or capital letters can clutter the message and make it harder to read. It can distract from the main point and make the conversation less clear.

4. **Annoyance Factor**: For some, these stylistic choices can be annoying or overwhelming, especially if used excessively.

If you're dealing with this, you might:

- **Communicate Your Preferences**: Politely let the sender know if you find the style of communication distracting or excessive.

- **Respond Calmly**: Maintain a calm and composed tone in your responses, regardless of how the message is styled.

- **Provide Feedback**: If the sender is someone you interact with frequently, offering constructive feedback about communication preferences can be helpful.

Approaching the situation with a gentle reminder or adjusting your own communication style can help manage the interaction more smoothly.
