Large enthusiastic texts as in large texts about topics, you have common with the other person and enthusiastic about.
I am a person who prefers texts over calls. Maybe that might be the reason, the people I have in my circles are more into calls than texts.
But this happened with my online friends as well whose only mode of communication is via texts.
I used to have a friend who would do so but with the topics only he was interested in lol but I used to kinda act like I’m listening to him by asking small questions . He did try to complement my listening skills once. We used to chat for hours together. Sadly life moved on and he branched away from my friend circle (which is kinda non-existent rn because life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
Or am I just too boring or loud? Is this a bad habit? Sometimes I can’t stop making walls of texts. (Oops here I go again)

I usually keep my texts short and with lots of spelling errors. And I almost always send them with a monotone in my head.
On the flip side I usually think reading texts should be a short task. Unless you’re
arrivingarguing with someone I guess, but that should really be done in person.So much text in one message comes across as monologuing. It makes sense that someone would only be interested if it involves something they’re very interested in or passionate about.
The same amount of information broken up across several messages usually comes off better and invites a conversation. Especially if you wait for a response before going on with your subject.
Edit, also be open to the conversation moving away from the subject you wanted to go on about. Constantly moving the conversation back to your topic so you can finish your thought doesn’t work out well
Some people like it, some don’t. People think I’m weird that I text someone before calling, because I don’t want to call at a bad time.
Also, if you post to a community that is pretty quiet, once you do, it’s no longer quiet ;)

Haha true. But I was afraid that I wouldn’t get much replies over there especially since my post is about replies xD.
I will be verbose if there is an actual keyboard under my fingers but unless I’m extremely invested in the topic and not also doing something else at that time I keep messages from my phone terse.
I have the same problem. I usually end up editing out a bunch of text, yet still end up with a wall of text. I’m sure there’s a balance in there somewhere between enough information and too much information. I also try to remove unnecessary words and phrases to be more concise. If you figure it out, let the rest of us know. 😊
Glad to know there’s someone like me. We are in this together my friend! We shall find something out.
Yeah I do that too. When I get really enthusiastic about something, I can talk about it for hours. So, it exists.
I was told it is apparently an ADHD thing. Because some people I used to meet, did the same thing, about their favorite topic each. So, it’s an ADHD thing, apparently.
But I’m glad you can bring up the mental energy to talk about a topic for a long time! That means you’re healthy :-) (imo)
Finally someone who in this thread viewing it as a good thing and not as an some outcast behaviour lol.
