@Sandra As for myself, I teethgnashingly write more "I think", "for me", "it seems to me" and so on, on my own blog no less, because I kept getting pushback from people commenting on my blog arguing with me that the things I said were not universally true, which seemed super obvious to me because I was writing on my blog. Grrrrr.

On the other hand, with the pandemic clearly illustrating how simple minded many people are, and having realised that for me as a person who is not writing manuals, instructions, or working in public relations or for the government, being super simple to understand is not a top priority, I have started writing more in the style that my inner voice sounds. Longer sentences, relative clauses, walls of text, made up words (though still not as many as some of us, haha) – all of this in a vague attempt to lift people up. I expect more reading comprehension and I don't want to talk down to people – I don't want to assume people are barely literate. Since I cannot have both at the same time, I'm opting for harder but hopefully better, perhaps as delusional as many failed authors. Oh well.
