how2talk?

I feel like I'm so bad at communication. I don't know how to talk to people online and IRL. I think this is why I stick to the people I DO know a lot more than I likely should. Of course, it is never a bad thing to appreciate the people you have in your life but I feel like I do it too often to the point where it might be annoying for the reciever. I especially feel this since the start of this school year.

I've always been incapable of talking to people outside of my sphere. I wonder if people I know off in real life want to talk to me but are unsure of how to do so. I wouldn't blame them if that's the case.

Now I'm going to talk more about online friendships. I feel bad I can't communicate my feelings 100% of the time. I feel like I'll make the wrong move and mess it all up... especially since it's harder to read tone online (for me) then offline.

Maybe this is just another case of me overthinking everything to the point where it gets to my head. To anyone I've communicated with online, I apologize if I ever seem disinterested, don't reply, or something akin. I'm not the best with conveying my emotions.

Although I think I've gotten a bit better, it's still nowhere close to where I want it to be.

If you read through this word vomit of nothingness... thanks.
