i have this friend, who i love very much, one of my closest friends ever. but they have this thing where they really prefer having conversations through like audio messages or videos, as opposed to just texting. which is a perfectly fine preference to have, it's just a need that is sort of incompatible with my deep-seated social anxiety.
so they were having a bad day and they send me a video explaining it, which kinda puts the impetuous on me to respond in turn, but i am really bad at being emotionally vulnerable out loud. i will text people from the bottom of my heart, turn over every corner of my soul to them, no problem, but i just really struggle to do that out loud.
but i did it Anyway!
so hopefully they appreciate it and don't find my stilted speech too weird!
