Possible Meanings Behind “OK” Text
In many cases, when people send a simple “OK” text, it might seem like a straightforward answer, but there’s often more to it. Whether in a workplace or personal setting, this response can agree with an idea, signal consent, or show approval of a request.
The tone can range across a spectrum, from positive and approving to sarcastic or even negative, depending on the person’s opinion or feeling at the moment.
But let’s not forget, without body language to watch or a voice to listen to, an “OK” can also swing to the negative side, maybe even sarcastic, especially if fear of outcome is in play.
