[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are just young enough to not really have had much of an analog childhood. Im 39 (ADHD and introverted) and was a junior in high school when cell phones first started going mainstream amongst my friends and even the. Even those basic phones ramped up my anxiety--i just hated the idea that someone could reach me at anytime and expect an immediate response.

Consider that the way we communicate today has been around for all of 1 second of human history and suits some more than others.[/quote]

I’m 44 and don’t have problems texting people back. I might be delayed if I’m in a meeting, but I would never wait a week to respond to a friend. [/quote]

Did you miss the introvert ADHD part? I've actually posted on other threads that expectations of instant communication have exacerbated a range of neurodiverse traits and is could partly be responsible for an increase in diagnoses. If you're 44, do you have any old letters that you received lying around. It's wild how rapidly our communication expectations have evolved and it's totally reasonable to expect that there will be a wide range of how people adapt.
