Dear Annie: I prefer texting over phone calls

Dear Annie: I’ve noticed that some of my friends and I seem to have very different preferences when it comes to communication -- especially around texting versus phone calls. As an adult with ADHD, I find texting far easier. Phone conversations can be overwhelming; people often talk too slowly for my fast-moving brain, and I struggle not to interrupt.

Texting lets me process at my own pace, multitask while I wait for a reply and conserve social energy when I’m feeling drained..
