Irl i have no problems talking to people, younger/older than me, male/female – not an issue. I have zero problems initiating convos too. Put me infront an app where im forced to text someone and it’s like im illiterate suddenly.
I have no idea what to say, how to say it etc. I rely on body language and tone irl a lot and i have no idea about any of those in written text. Ontop of that everytime I’m supposed to text someone first I feel like I’m bothering them and should just stfu. I’d rather die than text someone i barely know lol.
It makes people angry bc they take it as me not wanting to socialise with them outside of uni/job and like i don’t want to text them. Sometimes I really want to but end up deleting the message bc it feels so stupid to me/like im bothering someone/etc. I feel like fish out of water when im doing it lol
Is there a way to fix it?

I have the same problem, but I push ahead anyways. Well I try anyway. I can cook a full meal and hold a conversation great with kids in the background, text/phone I’m horrible.

You just sound like one of my friends, currently I’m doubting if he wants to talk to me outside college at all. The truth is, a few days ago, during college break, we met somewhere and had a great time. But after that it’s been silence.
Honestly, all I want to hear from him is how u been, or just some stupid memes… I don’t care how bad the text is, I just want to know he still thinks about me 🙁
It’s better than the other way around
