I Have Social Anxiety

I have a question of curiosity, if I may? Do you find it easier, harder or about the same to interact behind the keyboard with social anxiety? Besides the challenges that come with leaving the house and social environments, I find that, as irrational as it sounds, even behind the keyboard I get highly anxious. I am not one who believes my opinion should be heard on everything that comes along anyway, but it still feels like I am in a room with a million people even on social media! I do much better in one on one conversations, it just feels safer.

I struggle with this too. I prefer one on one, yet that is a struggle at the beginning too. I guess I feel the pressure of: Will they like me? Am I communicating clearly? Did I state that opinion too strongly? Ohhh god was that tmi?! Etc....
