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 am just as anxious online..When I write a story, instead of waiting hopefully and excitedly for a comment, I literally have to work up the will to click on the notifications..I wasn’t this bad when I first came here, but a few bad experiences have made me very anxious online..It is the same when I answer a question or comment on a story..I am always waiting for the rare person that will jump down my throat and dance on my tonsils..😔
