I don't know what's wrong with me

When I meet someone new, I always get really excited and can't wait to message them again. But when they don't reply in 5 minutes like I tend to, I start getting anxious and spiraling out of control thinking they hate me. Rationally I know they'll be busy and have their life going on, so I don't know why this always happens.

@smiler2012 It's not a desire to hurry things along, more that I'm excited to have a new friend.

@KiwiDan well ok maybe i get that maybe let them call the shots and see where it takes you maybe best to not come over a little to needy

@smiler2012 That's going to take a lot of self-improvement work

@KiwiDan 🤔well maybe you should try and make that a goal and this may stop you thinking the way you do
