I have a close circle of friends and I interact with them regularly. And even with my co-workers I didn't have much trouble in person. But online, when I talk, I end up visualizing every invisible ear in the chat room focused and intent on me and I freeze up, sometimes mid-sentence. I'm taking deep breaths and clearing my throat the entire meeting. It's agonizing anon.

You have to understand it's literally the same people just listening through shitty earbuds to the same person they already know. They don't expect anything more from you online than they do from knowing you in person.

That would be fine if I didn't literally forget how to talk when I turn on my mic. I finished a session an hour ago and now still feel like I'm having trouble breathing. I don't understand, I've given presentations in person to a room with dozens of people without a single stutter but online all my composure goes out the window. It's very debilitating.

maybe you should have fake presentations with random anons where there's no pressure, until you feel more natural
shit like omegle or whatever is popular these days

>> No.22080486

do some breathing/meditation techniques, that should suffice

That would do me in even worse.

I tried the wim hof shit like a year ago, got intense anxiety and derealization by the end of it and never tried it again.

I think its because the new bitch in the office keeps forcing me to interact with them and smile at the camera when I really have nothing to say. I don't have many problems in male-dominated social situations where only pragmatism is used as a judge of character desu. any advice on how to deal with this bros?

Do you talk on the phone a lot? If not maybe call people more so you get used to it. Cold call businesses if you're not a pussy.

>> No.22080972

>>22080910
yeah i have no problems for the most part calling businesses and inquiring about what they offer or ordering food by phone. I think it's mostly the cuckcam and knowing I'm being watched live by dozens of people that I can't see that's doing a number on me.

>> No.22081154

it's the damn camera for sure bros I can't stand turning on my camera. I just realized I never had problems when it was audio only meetings, before they started requiring us to turn on our cameras.

I'm not sure how much you're missing out on. I mostly enjoy my time here more than in social situations, even with close friends. No one understands the world the way imageboards do desu.

Why does everything I say in a teams meeting feel so much more significant than saying something in real life. It makes me anxious.

It's funny isn't it? Because I don't really feel sad or depressed, I just wonder every once in a while how different life would be if I were to do normal things, you know, like having friends, being in genuine romantic relationships, having generic interests and hobbies etc. Maybe I'd be truly happy then, who knows. Yet I guarantee that most of the normalfags have no idea that it is possible to live a life that is different from their current one.
It's kind of like fear of missing out
