    If you ask multiple questions in one phrase my brain can’t handle it sorry

      Honest question, if I have to ask for 3 pieces of information, would it help if I sent it in 3 messages?

      Message 1: how many people are coming to dinner?

      Message 2: are any vegetarian?

      Message 3: what time are they arriving?

      Personally I would prefer the 1 message with 3 questions vs the 3 messages with 1 question each(many messages in short time make me think something is wrong and urgent), what’s your preference?

        Nah for me 1 message is where it’s at, I was just joking. I like it when people send over one message with everything they need to tell or ask so I can respond without going into a back and forward, ESPECIALLY if I’m busy with work but not necessarily.

        I also ask multiple things in one message but people never ever take the time to respond to all of them… Fucking ever, it pisses me off lol, because I put effort into writing a coherent message then they just discard it most of the time :-/

      I’ve noticed that with my partner with ADHD, and also my sister with ADHD. Neither can easily deal with multiple topics in one message. Curious.
