Add the pleasantries pass to your emails
If your hurried, task-oriented writing reads as curt or demanding to others, separate capture from courtesy: type the content first (so the thought doesn't flutter away), then consciously go back and add the greeting and a warm sign-off before sending.

The ADHD urgency to dump a thought before it ‘flutters away’ tends to skip social niceties, so emails can land as curt or demanding even when no rudeness is intended. Separating content-capture from a deliberate niceties-pass satisfies both needs at once: the urge to offload fast, and the recipient’s need for warmth.
In practice: write the substance of the email immediately, then re-open it and consciously prepend a greeting and a little warmth (‘Hi [name], I hope you enjoyed the sunny weekend’) plus a friendly sign-off before sending. Treat the pleasantries as a separate, mandatory editing step rather than something you must produce in the first rushed draft.
