So bad it makes me feel like I’m crazy. The social media platforms that have the features that show you when someone is active really makes my anxiety through the roof. If I text someone and I see that they haven’t responded but have been active, I get really anxious. ‘Why aren’t they responding? Omg’, how hard is it to just respond back?’. Idk how to handle it, I have really bad anxiety flares when it comes to texting because I can’t do anything besides become a stalker online. Like I can’t help it. Idk what to do…makes me want to give up social media/texting in general bc I’ll always keep checking…I get super paranoid.
