@Coloma I too have the kind of mind that not only doesn’t mind those kinds of non-linear thought processes, I actually enjoy them. I guess that is why I don’t mind reading questions in which the first line is, “Sorry this is going to be long.” I always read the whole thing and then I read all of the answers. Sometimes I answer on a point by point basis. Other times I will relay a similar situation from my own experience that I hope will help the OP see that they are not alone.
I think I tend to be attracted to questions where a fairly detailed and thoughtful response seem necessary, rather than a one word answer or a simple sentence. Sometimes my experiences help to illustrate where I’m coming from and how I came to my conclusion, rather than just stating the conclusion.
I have 2 close friends that can out-orate even me and @Wundayatta put together, I’m considered the quiet one in this trio, but I can listen to both of them go on at length, with millions of little details and nuances thrown in and still keep up with the story. I think I have learned to take in and process all of the little details that make up the puzzle.
For me, seeing one word answers usually leaves me wondering, “What else?” or “How did you come to that realization” or “Where did you find that answer?” “That was good, but can you elaborate on that?”
Some people want one word answers, and if they do, that’s OK, they can just skip over the long answers.
