Overtime, is using the paddle shifters (not redlining, using them properly) going to wear down my transmission more than just letting the transmission shift itself? I feel like the automatic transmission has really funky points at where it shifts that make no sense. But at the same time I've been put on blast by friends and family saying that If I constantly use my paddles i'll wear my transmission out.

Probably an extremely stupid question so don't kill me
They are meant to be used, so use them!

It will not prematurely wear the transmission to any noticeable degree.
