I type 120. How fucked am I, doctor?

if you do it for sustained periods for long periods of time, you should probably think about investing in one of those fancy ortholinear keyboards, or whatever works best for you. Maybe switch to dvorak or azerty for funsies or something.

if you don't type very regularly, it's probably not as big of a deal.

It is so much better I switched to a 36 key split ortho keyboard(draculad) with colemak and layers to reach keys farther then 1 key away normally it feels amazing

yeah, once you're using a keyboard designed for actual hand positioning, it's much more manageable and generally, a lot less taxing on the individual.
