I get very anxious when someone messages me, So this is definitely a high source of anxiety for me. Specifically, if I’m not super close with someone or don’t talk to them really regularly I get really terrified when they message me on social media etc. For some reason, I find interacting online so much more difficult than in person which I know probably sounds strange.

Does anyone else experience this and know any tips on how to handle or overcome it? Sometimes I just feel like throwing my phone away altogether.

I totally relate! Social media messaging can be super stressful for me too, especially with people I’m not super close to. It’s like the pressure is on to respond perfectly. I find face-to-face interaction much easier too. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who feels this way!
