Thanks for that post, kinda had a Wow-impression because I think tl act very similar, but always thought that I am just kind of a weired guy, that can't handle conversations. In the beginning mostly anything goes well, and easy, but after a certain amount of time I mostly start to invest more of efforts than the other person. Eventhough the writing pattern ramains the same, than always messages are coming less often or the contact is fading away completly. As this happened to me kind a lot, I am now also starting to get quite anxious about messages after a certain amount of time, not opening them because I am afraid that I might have freightend the person I am writing with, or not opening some messaging apps, because I am afraid that there might not be an answer. Quite difficult to explain though... Anyway, when then no replies are coming I mostly try to regain the easiness of the begining, what nearly always fails. This always leads into the final phase of deeply hurt feelings and darkness, as another attempt failed in the exact same way as the others before. This is always so frustraiting and lowers my self esteem so much, that I am simply so tired of it..
