So for years Ive had one social flaw. In every other situation, face to face regardless of timing, I am completely fine and enjoy talking to people, including strangers. But when it comes to texting, my sent messages are practically nonexistent. I have always been scared to send text messages, regardless of who to. I always feel that I come off as annoying, and Im worried that I'll catch them at a bad time. Also the lack of ability to know the other persons emotions catches me out, since I can never know whether they're being genuine or laughing at me. Over the years, this has pushed me to the outer reaches of my social group, and I am almost always left out of gatherings/not included in the group chat.
There is one person I talk to, and coincidently its the girl I've liked for the past 2 years, but the convo is only ever about work. How can I get past this anxiety /adv/? I don't know who else to ask since everyone keeps telling me im "beyond help"..

Even though I grew up with texting/online chat, I find in person conversation a lot more enjoyable. But now I've developed a similar problem where I absolutely hate conducting small talk through text.
Because of that, I don't get very far with my Tinder matches and I am terrible at maintaining friendships with people I don't see often because I can't be bothered to text them
Gonna stick around to see what others say. I've been pushing myself lately, in small increments, to shoot the shit with more old friends and messaging more matches on Tinder.

The great advantage of texting is that this isn't really possible, People can reply whenever they feel like it, so they will just respond later when they didn't have time atm.
