    I call it “stream of consciousness texting”, and it drives me berserk.

        Some people also don’t like getting a wall of text, smaller text messages (think paragraph size) can be easier to scroll, digest and respond too.

        Sometimes it’s the same thought, sometimes it’s multiple. I’ve never had someone ask me to put multiple messages in one to make it easier to deal with. Usually want them broken down.

          I’ve never sent a text more than a couple paragraphs but I would say that paragraph long messages are not considered short, it’s talking about the annoyance of when people send 12 different 5-word texts successively

        add has nothing to do with your ability to not hit send every third word

        you can write it all out in one message, or a few messages if something new pops into your head, i promise

          I think whoever is doing that is fucking with you.

          We can finish whole sentences, lots of them, we just get this anxiety that you won’t understand because our brains are broken, so we keep adding more to try and get our point across and then we realize we have sent too much, so then we have to explain that.

          It’s just a bunch of snowballing into a negative feedback loop after that, that’s when we stop all the texting and just try to figure out what the hell is wrong with us and how to fix it.

          But hey, hyper focus is almost a superpower!😁😞
