"I have a tendency to flee as soon as I start to get acquainted with other users."

Is there a reason for that? I know I sometimes feel pressured when there's more engagement than I expect.

Either way, welcome :)

Thanks!

As I say in my reply to ~tskaalgard I'm unsure of the reason, but it is probably related to feeling pressured, as you mention. It's also likely related to some embarrassing, kind of pathetic situations I put myself into as a late teenager online.

Is there anything that helps you manage that feeling of pressure when there's more engagement than you expected? I'm thinking some kind of "reality check", as thinking about it now I realize that those feelings are (in my case) disproportionate to what's actually going on when they arise.
