The lack of face-to-face contact when texting can lower some folks' inhibitions (and, presumably, IQ) to such an extent that now everyone has probably had at least one encounter with someone who decided to message something that really should have been a draft.

#39 Why Am I So Awkward?
For some context, I met this girl on TikTok. She’s an artist with a solid following, and honestly, her work is incredible. Somehow, I ended up in her DMs, and we started chatting. From the little we’ve talked, she comes across as incredibly smart and genuinely kind, just one of those rare people with a heart of gold.
Now, I usually have no problem talking to people. I’m not the shy type, and starting conversations has never really been an issue for me. But for some reason, with her, I just end up feeling like some half-baked fanboy living in his mama’s basement. To make things worse, she mentioned she was tired, and there I was, still trying to keep the conversation going like a fool who didn’t get the hint.
