reached out to someone for a quote on translation help but
-
did not realize that despite telling me to describe the request in as much detail as possible, Fiverr, which I had never used before, apparently does not allow any formatting at all when sending requests so it was an incomprehensible wall of rambling text (I attached a text file and an apology but still)

the person has not responded to me despite being active and saying they respond ASAP, and I was offering considerably more than their usual fee so I assume I came across as a complete weirdo
-
The absolute terror I feel when reaching out to people with an offer to pay them for doing things is almost as bad as the absolute terror I feel when asking people to pay me for doing things and I really hate when circumstances align to convince me that hitting "send" was a bad idea. considering how much effort it took to talk myself into it in the first place I think it's very unfair and I would like a do-over.
