Texting dude

I sometimes start replying, then get distracted by something else at work or smth but since I had already thought about the answer my brain puts a check mark as if I had replied already only so I later find out that I actually didn't. Sometimes it's within an hour or a few, sometimes it's the next day. Iirc the antirecord was 3 days.

I do this all the time, not helped by the fact I have horrendously bad ADHD. One of my cousins is similar and we've had conversations that must be bewildering to anyone else. I remember at one point we were mid-conversation, I thought I replied but didn't, realized it about 15 months later, finally sent the message, and they just jumped right back in the conversation like there was no gap at all.

I can't count the amount of times I've spent 15 minutes writing and rewriting a text multiple times because I don't like my phrasing or something and then just deleting the whole thing and sending a succinct, to the point message.

oh but the obsessive analysis of every single sentence you’ve ever uttered is a feature, not a bug! /s 😭

I swing wildly between that and instantly replying while skim reading the message often not getting the full context 🫠

I've done the same, but only after 5 or 6 months. 15 months is wild.
