People also ask

Is ofc rude?
Generally no, it's a casual abbreviation. Tone depends entirely on context and your relationship with the sender, but it's rarely meant aggressively.
Does ofc mean they like me?
It's not a direct sign of romantic interest; it just means "of course." Don't use it as the sole indicator of how someone feels about you.
When should I use ofc?
Use it when confirming something obvious, agreeing enthusiastically, or acknowledging a question that has an expected answer, especially in informal chats.
