For me, it's actually a bit worse online. My particular anxiety centers around are trying to be very aware of what I am saying and how I am saying it. A lot of times online I get to hyper-analyze this while I type and edit. I sit there and read it over and over making sure it sounds perfect. Sometimes I'll decide that the input I have doesn't even matter or fit in and erase the whole thing and just stay isolated. In-person, if I have to get something out I don't have as much leeway with analysis.
I have been trying to get better about this, hence why I posted here haha, but it can be a long road and it is important to try not giving up.
That's definitely part of it. I think the bigger thing is, in the back of my mind, I keep thinking this could be someone to connect with and that just puts the pressure on for me.
Heya! A wild Anzelika appeared. I just dropped in to say that it's impossible to offend me, so you can perhaps loosen up those rewriting gears :) I know a thing or two about social anxiety so if you want to network or banter with a front end newbie, I'm here!

Oh that’s interesting! Is it because it is difficult to convey tone of voice through text as well?
Keep it up 😁🙌
