I will confess, I'm not that great at grammar. Mainly, I'm the sort of person that write/type stuff as I am thinking it and barely look back at what I have wrote. I see it as that it's online and it's as informal as it gets. As long as it is readable, it shouldn't matter if it not 100% perfect.

With that said: majority of the time, I swear that they can just make out roughly what I am trying to saying. I will understand it more if my grammar for a message was so bad that they can't make out what I'm trying to say. Otherwise, I just felt kinda bullied and mocked for having bad grammar skills.

As ridiculous as it sounds, it makes me so self-conscious and paranoid to post anything and it can even be as simple as making a reply on a post. Internet is a brutal place but so is real-life. The only difference is that I would just block them which I know is little petty but I think that it would be better than me snapping at strangers online. My patience is thin and I just get sick of having people in my life just getting angry at me as well as I feel like a punchline to a joke.

At the risk of sounding like an ableist, much pedanticness comes from Autism I believe.

    Doesn't sound ableist at all. I know few Autistic which it bugs them when the grammar incorrect. Ironically, I'm at the other side where it doesn't bother me too much for as long as I can understand and read what someone is saying.
