Rarely. I made it a point to finish my thoughts here, since I have a tendency to abandon what I write halfway, and I'm going to stop making excuses for myself.
I have had some misses, but people seems to like to read my random thoughts and corny jokes here. Mostly.
You gotta pick your battles.
All the time. I could have typed a multi-paragraph masterpiece but then I realise I can't be bothered offering help in a world full of people that know everything about everything and are never wrong.
Whenever I have a train of thought that suddenly stops and I don't want to spend time thinking how to finish the message
All the time but not as often as I should.
I used to do it a lot.
Typically this would be responding to someone being provocative.
I decided that they were angry people just trying to make other people angry.
So now I write articles mocking them.
I am much more relaxed now.
Less now that I've learned to give up before I start.
Can't put a number on it, but I'd wager it happens the majority of the time
I can't think of a single time I've-
i do this increasingly often lately.
Yesn't

Increasingly more often in the last year or two. Makes social media use for me a lot more pleasant. But sometime I still can't resist.
Rough estimate, 30%. Either because my point ended up not being worth making, I ended up being wrong, or the message was dumped at some point between switching through 4 apps and 12 websites gathering information and I can't be arsed to write 400 words again.
One in five, I'll guess. I am prone to TMI, not as much intimate sharing as wanting to write about things that are too far remotely related.
I'm also prone to seguing into a rant as I have much to say I wish were said more often. Sometimes I edit those out. Sometimes I mark them as rants.
And then I am prone to mobile keyboard fatigue, and will wear out if a short explanation won't do. I get back to it at a proper keyboard less often than I don't.
I wish more people on Lemmy and everywhere else were like you.
