Why not think of the words that you say when you do, not a ‘so’ then a pause, nor a filler or two. Let’s make these things flow as they spill from our head, not just talk like a robot with glitches instead.
I’m sure there’s a rule that you’re taught when you learn, how to chat amongst friends and you all take your turn.Don’t litter the sentence with ”likes”, which sound fake, There’s a structure somewhere, watch your teachers heart break.
So, to round off this verse, (yes I’ve used that word right), the ‘so’ has a meaning, (let’s not pick a fight) But a filler it ain’t and no awkward blank space, I can sense the confusion drift over your face.
