While a bit of a tangent I think this is a wonderful exploration on reasoning how complex writing things down can be. Remembering a dream is a very apt comparison, it all fragments and falls apart the more you try to put it together. I believe this is why writing can be so powerful though. It forces you to connect and clarify everything.

With all of this said it's incredible that people are able to post on social media often. It's a crushing amount of mental energy. You could chalk it up to others not being critical thinkers but that just feels like a subconscious way to insult them and simultaneously compliment yourself.

I had to tell my girlfriend when we first started dating that I usually see her texts within moments of getting them. However if I don't respond soon then I'm not trying to play mental games, build tension or whatever. I need time to formulate a response and type it out. When she sees me text others she is appalled at how difficult it is for me. I can coordinate plans, answer a short question or relay facts with no effort. The second it becomes a conversation or small talk I just lock up. This is with everybody not just someone I'm attracted to.
