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?
Sure, but there’s not all that much to say. I’m a shut-in and I used to have online friends to play with, but over the years every single one disappeared. Nothing I didn’t do to myself. No great drama involved whatsoever.
That’s a shame, are you not able to find more? Public servers?
