I don’t understand how some people are utterly incapable of answering more than one question...

They don't seem much interested to communicate with you.... Of course they can answer two questions at the same time.
By you not seeing this and proceeding...to me it shows that you are not giving yourself the attention and importance you deserve.

I think you deserve better, let this person be.
Loving communication isn't like pulling teeth...of course I can understand of how communication can be difficult..

Sometimes I do that when it is a regular conversation. I will ignore any data that I don't think would be pragmatic to share. Like questions of "How are you? What did you do today? Where were you?..etc. I have to save my energy for other things.

I see the same in business email communication.

I think it's an attention déficit issue.

The benefit of doubt answer is time boxing each communication reply

It annoys me when people are selective over which questions to answer, especially if you take the time and effort to type it out. I definitely understand your frustration.

Well, you need to learn how to communicate effectively and productively. You see, the issue is you are usually all over the place with your communication and you tend to ramble with lots of (unnecessary) drama thrown in. This is something you really need to work on if you intend to improve your social skills.

I've noticed that too.

And then there are the people who provide numbered responses. This is more common when you're having an argument.

Some are still back in the days where text are short due to costs.

Anything more than 128 characters was charged extra. Unlimited text's were unheard of. And images were impossible.

Maybe we could ask one question at a time if people don't seem to be interested. We should not waste our energy by asking so much questions.

Some people are like that.

Me: Should I make the PPT first or the Quotation?
Boss: Yes

Next Time

Me: I am making the Quotation, and then will make the presentation.
Boss: Ok
