Subtle hints

Honestly, it's really easy to tell whenever I'm pissed. It's all a mind game of push and pull, really. See, you want to let the other party catch on that you're pissed but you don't want to completely give yourself away, like you don't want to flat out admit "Fuck you for pissing me off and now I'm completely pissed." Of course we don't want that, we all like to play guessing games now and then.

So in my case, firstly my face totally gives it away but wait, I don't verbally admit that I'm pissed! In fact, I completely go mute and just display a stoic signature pissed off black face. Like, thunder clouds kind of black. But then that's for face to face situations. Through texts, it's also another simple trick. Okay, it used to be a trick but now it's already become a habit of mine. So for example:

Nice me: I'm home safe, goodnight! :)
Pissed me: Home safe, gnight.

Simple play of words and punctuations can completely change your tone. I tend to lose the pronoun whenever I'm pissed. All the "I", "you", "he", "she" becomes completely redundant and obviously, so do the emoticons. And occasionally, the pretty words, phrases, sentences whatever all get shortened. "Good morning" becomes "Morning", "Sorry, I've been really busy" becomes "Sorry, was busy". Hahaha, word game guys, English is wonderful.
