i read somewhere once (i saw on insta) by a famous philosopher, that the reason people avoid confronteing people face to face is because weve grown used to not facing someone when we text.
its easier to say things on text than in real life, irl you might hesitate, becasue you see that person, you can see their emotions, their reactoin to your words. even if you want to confront somone that did wrong, youd still hesitate because their face speaks emotions. that lowk made me feel more related to because seeing someones expressions crumble to your words hurt.

it's less about fear and more abt convenience imo (which includes avoiding anxiety-inducing actions). this might be true for literally anything we do as human beings. we look for the easy way out. texting is easier, you don't have to immediately deal with the consequences, you can think out a response, you can ignore their response etc.
yes. fear of being anxious, exactly what i said.

Its all fear.. I dont know why we fear so much. Recently my best friend decided to end our 8 yr friendhsip thru a text message at 2am, probably the most poor way to handle that but she overgrew me and i did nothing wrong she said, so I have to be resilient and accept that she isnt changing her mind but the fact she couldnt speak to me irl was so selfish i think. She doesnt gaf about me
def really selfish. i think breaking up a freindship for the sole purpose of growing apart is just really stupid, its better to just keep people around instead of just breaking things off.
