Not quite anything crazy, nor noteworthy. I just wanted to share a bit of a shower thought that I came up with. I'm sure somebody has thought about this already, but here we go.
Your typing style, is a hybrid of typing quirks from various people you interacted with. Be it from a developer you worked with on a GitHub issue, some friends you interact with regularly on a group chat, a bunch of tweets you read from your favorite artist, the weird punctuation and capitalization of a stranger you argued with, or the million other people that use the internet, whether in obscure spaces or public, big ones.
YOUR style, bit by bit, comes from tens of hundreds of people that influenced you subconsciously. Whether it is typing in all lowercase, weird punctuation, the "haha" or "lol" after every sentence, or your consistent apologizing. Your typing style, in one way or another, is either just like somebody else's, or influenced by them. And people are getting influenced by your typing style just as much.

This is one of the most constant thoughts i have when it comes to think about the past, and it feels weird, but at the same time it's a nice thought, knowing that all you went through and the people you've met and your experiences with them is what shaped you into what you are today, and that you'll keep on changing the more you live :)
the way you will slowly adapt is always nice though,,, they say language quite literally changes alongside the people, so it is normal for us to change how we write and act! but it's a nice thing to look into, where your typing quirks come from and such

Call me crazy but, one of the things i most like about the whole adapting your typing quirks is seeing how one adapts to a handful of types of people, i've met a lot of different people these years and i always adapt my typing according to their likings (I DONT MEAN THIS IN A PEOPLE PLASIN WAY I JUST LIKE BEING VERSATILE I SWEAr)
