#sending emails has always been hell ofc but these days they are practically unbearable

[bugslug]

kinda weird how i have such terrible social anxiety but primarily for just socializing online/through text or email. in person i’m honestly kinda ok with it? its still mentally draining to be social for too long but i actually Can make small talk pretty well and i’d much rather meet someone new in person than send them an email. and it’s not just like professional online spaces i have issues w like discord servers and casually messaging friends as well. i’d rather talk in a group setting at a party. it’s just weird to me bc when i was younger (like just 3-4 years ago) it was the opposite, i could converse super easily online but had panic attacks about in person social situations. wtf changed
