written conversation is so difficult

So often I find myself stuck, agonizing over what words to write when it seems such a simple yet nebulous thing in my head, and none of the words I come up with sound like the right thing to say.

And now it's 25 minutes later in this text conversation and I still haven't typed a nice polite ending to the conversation so I guess I just shouldn't write anything else because whatever I write now will really seem weird after that long gap. Or maybe I should still hit "Send" on this "Anyway, thanks for letting me know" that just doesn't seem right.

.

Oh, and those times I spend half an hour or however long writing or replying to an email at work, and then it seems like the moment after I hit send, I get a reply straight back with actual coherent words in it, and I'm like how do they do that!!!
