show more i suppose

so uhhhh
lets say
hypothetically
you have this online friend who also has your number (you dont know each other personally, nor what the other person looks like) and youve been friends for a while
but uh you tend to have insanely bad trust issues and suck at talking to people
and most friendships with other people online have ended up in you blocking them because youre too afraid of messing up, hurting them (emotionally, mentally) and having them blocking YOU so you decided to stop looking for friends or accepting friend invites as to make sure you wont get scared and block them because it will hurt them less if you dont know them too much and not accept the friend invite then playing with them every day for a week and then just dissapearing
but youve been friends with the first person for a while and you LIKE being friends with them but you still have awful trust issues and freak out whenever they dont respond for a day because you think they hate you
and then lets say one day you mess up with them and theve forgiven you but youre still nervous and awkward and now youre even worse at talking to them

Okay
I’m not the best at communicating :sob:
But
Just
Hypothetically
Maybe pray for relief from your anxiety about all this.
That
That’s what I would do
I really hope all this hypothetical stuff can be resolved, Yuki. <3

(Sorry for the endless yap)
i will
i will try
thank you with helping my very hypothetical scenario <3
Also? You are 100% allowed to not respond right away or within a day or wtvr. People get busy, people get tired, people need a break, and that’s okay. If your online friends are truly your friends, they’ll be able to handle and understand that! That also goes for you- if your online friends don’t respond right away, maybe they just can’t in the moment.
Overall, I’d probably just work on telling myself that this person isn’t the most important thing in the world, and while I’d never want to lose them.. it’s not my fault if I do, if I do my part to be a loving friend.
OFC I AM NOT SAYING THINGS WILL GO WRONG BETWEEN YOU!!! For all ik you could be friends the rest of your lives.

yes but i just... i just dont know how to be friends with people
im too scared of messing up
i freeze every time i have a message ready to send because im nervous of doing the wrong thing
and they probably arent the MOST important people in the world to me but i hardly talk to many other people so they are still very important to me
idk how to explain
are you seeking help for an anxiety disorder? i know this isnt the most tactful comment but this is uh. not a normal or healthy level of anxiety. i'm saying this as someone who ismedicated for an anxiety disorder. this is not Good
yes i have gone to a physiatrist a few months ago and they did recommend a few medications, but they had wanted me to wait a little bit and try some other things before going to meds and i just havent really asked about it since.. because i dont want to be dependant on medications, and also im just very lazy and would probably forget to take them every day which i know isnt very good once youve already started taking medication..

Okay. First of all, what I would hypothetically say is you aren’t an awful person. You make mistakes, but who doesn’t?
Second of all, this is hypothetically an online person. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat that person as kindly as anyone irl, but that’s the thing. This isn’t someone you know irl. And that alone can allow you to let some hypothetical weight come off your shoulders. You aren’t responsible for what anyone else thinks of you or what they say; all you’re responsible for is how /you/ act.
Let’s say perhaps this hypothetical online friend is going through something hard but doesn’t want to talk about it. Even you just messaging back the way you always do could help brighten their day!so don’t stop, maybe they need it

so now youre in this weird awkard phase where you cant spark up a conversation and theyve sent you a message and you dont know how to respond and sometimes you feel like you just dont wanna answer so that theyll start hating you for not answering and then block you and then you wont have to be scared of messing up or hurting them but you know thats an awful thing to do and your an awful human for the way you treat people
uhm
what would you do in this scenario?
hypothetically of course
