People really ought to take into consideration the person they're talking to, rather than apply the cultural norms they hold for themselves onto something as minute as tone implied by punctuation.
I'm saying people with anxiety think about what you said and then also think "Oh god. Why can't I just be normal? Just don't worry about it. Think about it another way. be normal. People know you aren't normal. You just need to reframe the situation. You can't reframe the situation. You're the problem."
You say all this under the false assumption I don't have anxiety. I'm literally just saying anyone can try to be more understanding of other perspectives.
How do I know they are being genuine with me? If they aren't genuine, do I need to mask or can I be my free self without them judging me? What would they think of me if I went full, raw self? I could never, they would see how much garbage can imitate a person. I need to be the person they want to talk to instead of me. How do I know they are being genuine with me?
