Sorry I couldn't finish reading wh

I find that I've "Follow"-ed a number of members to the point that I don't take enough time (often) to give a thoughtful comment on the post. A lot of times it's just a "upvote" or the comment, "Well said".

I think it's a symptom of the age we live in. EULA agreements contribute to the tendency. Always so much legalism to read everybody scrolls down and looks for "I Agree". We're inadvertantly training ourselves to ignore stuff with too much text.

I've found I have a very difficult time at work reading and retaining new information. It's very frustrating.

Word. I quit reading this post halfway through the second paragraph

Could be signs of mild depression lack of interest in things

I only read long posts related to interesting or intellectual topics that I know little about, not into life stories ?

Same as any other entries on here. Some are a waste of time. Some are boring. Some are narcissistic. Some are fascinating. Some are educational. Some are big time funny. Some are good enough to copy and remember, or share !

This of course is why headline writing has become an art form and staple of “fake news” as our dear leader likes to call it.

There is very little that cannot be conveyed in one or 2 paragraphs, IMO......"my eyes glaze over" (MEGO) is what you are experiencing, along with me.

For me, the nature of the posting place conveys a certain expectation. I expect short topic or question posts in a forum, and turn to blogs for longer written pondering.

I try to give longer posts a shot for at least two sentences, but yes, if I'm not hooked by then, I'll move on or come back to it later.

Yup, about the same

It seems like a lot of people have the similar tendency to not like longer posts. I even feel that way. Wonder if it is because of our insanely busy lives or are we getting a little lazy?

I agree, no long post work for me either. First I rely heavily on the first few sentences to see if I want to go further. This is where the art of writing comes into play

I don't read long posts either, I'm sure they're really interesting (zzzzzzzz) but I'm getting old, I don't have time to wade thru someone pontificating lol

I'm a sucker for redheads from kentucky so I will read anything you post - more than a sentence or not.
