CategoriesTexting & Internet Slang

ILYSM stands for I love you so much, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Emphatic expression of love or gratitude, used with partners and family and, often hyperbolically, with friends who did something nice such as bringing coffee or sharing notes.

Example: You brought me soup? ilysm, you're the best.

Usage notes

Teens frequently use it platonically, so it is not always romantic. Often written in lowercase with emojis. Fine with friends and family; out of place in professional settings.
