What It Means If You're A 'Paragraph Texter'

"Paragraphs make it easier for me to divulge information. When I send paragraphs I'm usually explaining something or trying to convey a thought."

"My thoughts or feelings about something are usually multifaceted and layered. Communicating in blocks helps me to keep things together, and creates a space where my thoughts can flow well together, which hopefully results in more clarity for the reader."
