how many others find having a dialog by typing things down helps?

I find it lets me organise my thoughts and emotions so well.
For a practical task to know the steps, or to sort out my emotions.

Either to an audience or just typing privately to myself helps a lot.

@Doggo 100% prefer typing to other forms of communication, yes

I seem to confuse a lot of NT ppl who treat email like texting, whereas I tend to write more letter length kinda stuff? And ppl end up ignoring half of it a lot of the time. >.<

But for me, it is v.much more accessible for those reasons, yeah

@pastelbat ah yeah I’ve noticed that for ppl? Email being kinda causal and short I mean.

...that sounds annoying tbh. And ppl should play attention to emails if they’re long, means there’s important stuff there.

Same. I can speak well irl and charismatically. I can speak verbally to others to sort feelings.

But text is so much easier tbh, I don’t use up any social spoons talking via text.
