No, not really. I guess in my mid-teens I did abuse ellipses a little bit, but only in IMs and not nearly as bad as you're suggesting.

When people do that in text messages I always get the impression they're pissed off and I hate it.

I hate when people ask you a question in ellipsis'

"So do you want to come or not..."

I love ellipsis but I only use them when I want the reader to pause

I thought they implied a pause or make an omission... I could be wrong though girl;

in my experience, they're abused by people who are whiny, attention-grabbing, "depressed" teens

so i guess that could be a negative attitude

I've found those that use commas are often pretentious douchebags who conform to a societal ideal in order to create some fictional sense of self-worth in their otherwise meaningless lives

It was a stab, but I don't think it was a personal stab.
