What is your communication style?

I’ve started judging companies by how they reject candidates. Some places make you feel respected even with a no. I received the nicest rejection email today that let me down easy and still made me feel hopeful about my next interview. Others just ghost like a situationship. Can’t help but wonder how they think they’ll attract great talent they treated that way in the past?
Just read an article from Fortune about people feeling too burnt out to apply for jobs. Is that you? I get it. This paragraph really summed it up for me: "Compounding the immobility: job seekers are being ghosted at a three-year high, with more than half of applicants reporting no response from employers in the past year. Hiring experts connect the trend directly to AI-inflated application volumes overwhelming recruiters — the same feedback loop burning candidates out. [...]"
I have a strong interview anxiety. I know I have a great potential because of my work ethic, values, experiences, and qualities as a person. But, how can I prove that to the panel if I'm super nervous and forget what to say at the moment. My anxiety ruins my opportunity to show them that I'm a great fit. I don't know how to overcome this.
I highly prefer written and detailed. But most people don’t like that from me (that’s overwhelming, I don’t have time for that, but they’re happy with a video that takes longer to watch than it takes to read a document) and don’t have the ability to do it well so I don’t get useful input from others, either. So instead of one document that covers what’s needed, we email back and forth until someone gets frustrated and demands a phone call, then I spend an hour writing up notes from it. This how they want me to spend my time at work.
