Did I do a faux pas here? I literally figuratively get more autistic when I have to txt

why did the app do me like that with the spacing

doesn't double texting signify you're anxious and overbearing?

edit lol this is for a music thing

The stigma against double texting is an insecure schoolgirl affectation. Don’t worry about it.
Personally I detest chain-texts (a whole bunch of short messages in quick succession, like 8-10 or so) because a) I get the impression the writer didn’t want to bother organizing his thoughts before communicating, and expects me to do it for him and b) it makes my phone vibrate/beep a lot and it’s just distracting. But that is not what’s going on here. It’s just two texts with complete sentences.
TLDR: you’re fine, texting etiquette-wise. Double texting is not really a thing.
- I prefer chain texts when I am engaging in a conversation. It feels more like natural conversation. As a sentence is out of my brain, the recipient has it. Sometimes the thoughts are fully organized, there's just a linebreak between them, and it's just a formatting distinction. But there are differences between "sending a text message to relay information" and "having a conversation via SMS"
  The obnoxious part is the constant vibrate/beep per incoming message, but Android has a "minimum time between notification sounds" config option though, I imagine Apple does too, so that has never really bothered me either.

Looks absolutely fine. Just that you had an extra thought that you'd forgotten to mention before.
I can't see anything wrong with the formatting.
You're all good.

Really depends on who you are talking too and the context. This could be innocent or.....not.
- Saw the edit. You are fine my man. Nothing weird there. just...oh dear god i was worried you said this in context to a first date or some shit hahaha
  
  LMAO ME TOO

Looks fine. And it's better than lighting up their phone a dozen times with even shorter notifications

No this is fine. So long as your mates don't get upset at notifications arriving at 11:30PM.
You have new information to add, so there's nothing wrong with the message itself and time between messages.
Where things get overbearing is when you're too quick to ask the same kind of question repeatedly.

Your texts are formatted much better than most. I'm not sure what concern you have with the spacing (what, is there an extra space after the pluses? Meh). Double texting is very common. You're good, 8.
