Ever feel like you're bothering someone when you text them? Like there's a small conversation and then silence and you say something that starts another conversation. But you feel like you're annoying them? I sometimes get that feeling, even with my best friend but he's said in the past he enjoys talking to me all the time but idk .. social anxiety

are you diagnosed with SA?

Yea, I always say "I don't wanna bother you". They get mad when I say that, though.

I just don't like feeling like I'm annoying someone or bothering them.

No but I think this has something to do with it

Best advice I could give is to consider the mantra of YOLO.. hah

What is the reverse of that?I kinda feel like people are bothering me real in life its so annoying!

I hate it.

omg i said that in the past and the first time i got the "no never. i enjoy talking to you" and then weeks later i did it again and got a "stop being so anxious". its hard because we are in college now and i dont see em every day like i did in high school/summer

But that was about a year ago. I feel better now than i did before about it cuz i just visited and had an amazing time but still even though we are so close i feel like this

Plus on top of it i also had some family problems. My sister who was my best friend dropped me and the rest of my family and literally forgot about me so I always worry that the same will happen to my best friend that ive had now for 3-4 years

I feel this way sometimes too...but only with people who only text me when they wanna vent about themselves. Like I have better things to do than hear u rant about ur problems theenks

its quite the opposite with me

i tend to be 'thinking' im doing well with people but later i get told by other friends that i make them feel uncomforable and that im bit intimidating

This

Yea i understand that. When i text my friend its always a "how are you" i never talk about myself.

People that text me to vent need to leave

Luckily, only on online chatting.

I know exactly how you feel. I just like giving people their space & when I do, I get dragged.

Alright, it's not good to give yourself a diagnosis, it's one of the worst things you can do.

Have a counselor you can talk to or someone professional, I think it would do you some good.

That's probably how I would feel so I don't text people first, I wait for them to text me

I get the opposite. Like everyone who tries to text me annoys me. But in person, it's a lot better.

When I have to text people though, idgaf. I will spam them to get what I need.

I always say im going to but then i think that they think im ignoring them and i end up texting them
