I have a hard time communicating with strangers over email.
It always takes me the whole day to compose a long-form response to somebody. I get worried about the wording, or if the tone is too informal, or if I'm ranting and including unnecessary information that the other person won't care about. So I end up going back to it and tweaking phrases, updating the tense, throwing out sentances. As a result, I often have weird grammatical errors because I've re-written something but missed updating a word here or there.
I don't have that problem on this blogging platform. Maybe because I'm not communicating with anyone specifically, and I don't expect people to respond to what I say here. It's a lot less stressful anyway.
