I often miss the whole "I" part of statements, and their associated verbs. In high school, the coolest English teacher was let go sometime shortly after I'd had him. He taught us that when you say "fuck you" (couched in saying "firetruck you" to avoid potential trouble) the way English works is there's an "I" implied at the start. When you say "Hope you have a good day!" you're saying "I hope you have a good day", that.

But uh, my sense of self is just kinda... running on low power mode or something. My brain gets vibes and feelings and that's how I interact with the world, and I don't actually apply what those vibes and feelings are to me. That includes the verbs, it's "have a good day" for me. Which is a normal thing to say, I chose that example for a reason. It's normal to say "have a good day". There's a ton of things people say on a regular basis with that whole "I" and verb truncated.

There are soooo many things that are less so, on varying degrees.
