When I make a new friend online and we hang out a lot in a short space of time, I find myself hyperfocusing on wanting to interact with them. I try my best to hold myself back to what would be an acceptable level. It gets to a point where I feel like almost nothing else matters but their next response.

Does anyone else have this? If so, is there a coping technique I can do to reduce it or make it more bearable?

    That’s a good idea, unfortunately I have trouble sticking to times unless I’m letting someone else down

      Well I don’t know if it helps, but the way I think of that is that if I didn’t stick to the times, I’d be letting me down.
