When you have social anxiety and don’t want to reach out to anyone, how do you want your friends to react?

1. I don’t expect anything of them. That’s a me problem, it’s exhausting to have to reach out to someone, regardless if it’s out of your control from a mental health issue. My friends are always there for me, and understanding, and that’s all I can ask.

2. With memes and gifs usually. That’s how my friends break the ice, receiving the occasional “I’m thinking of you, here if you need me” type message can also help.

3. No pressure to respond text messages
