OMG I just realised why I gravitate towards bullet points so much when texting anything lengthy.

This is why i force people to break things into paragraphs if they want me to actually read it

I have never understood the need for paragraphs. Bullet points seem like the condensed form of paragraph prose, and thus are more efficient for absorbing the contents.

Paragraphs allow for more content with proper grammar. Bullet points are single sentences or two short ones.

It depends on how you want to convey information. I prefer writing a few sentences or a short paragraph explaining what my bullet points will be about, and then I proceed to use them to get more information across.

IE: I don't like X, and here are the reasons why.
