when replying that way in any way, on text or actually just saying “cool”. my friends say cool a lot and I really don’t mind it and my partner says it too but some people have thought it was rude and I had a friend say “that’s what I say when I don’t give a damn”.

It depends both on context and on tone. Tone can make it excited or dismissive.
what if it’s “Cool.” over text? it seems fine to me but people have gotten similar responses saying it’s passive-aggressive.
To be honest I think it’s the trailing full stop that does that. Over text I find that usually comes across like you’re trying to shut down the conversation (even when you’re not)
