I’ve noticed I’m starting to ignore messages from certain people because their tone always feels so demanding, even when it probably isn’t. It’s making me feel guilty, but I also dread opening their chats. Does anyone else get this specific anxiety from how a message is phrased?

Why does a demanding message tone trigger anxiety for me during chats?

Yeah I get that. I started muting a chat for a few hours to see if the pressure was coming from me or from how they phrased things, and the result was mostly that I felt differently when I wasn’t staring at it.

I’ve been keeping a tiny pre reply ritual: breathe, skim for the real ask, decide if I want to reply today. It helps me not snap back.

Sometimes I tell myself they’re just busy or short and I’m reading into it, which makes me doubt my own memory of the conversation.
