			<description><![CDATA[I’ve noticed my group chats have become almost entirely transactional—just logistics and links, with no real conversation. It feels like we’re just managing tasks instead of actually connecting, and I’m not sure if that’s just how these things evolve or if we should try to change it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I’ve noticed I’m starting to feel a real pang of anxiety whenever I see those three little dots appear in a messaging app, especially when they stop and start. I wait for a reply that doesn’t come, and it completely derails my focus. Does anyone else find this specific indicator of someone typing, then not sending, more stressful than just waiting in silence?]]></description>

It’s like I get a sudden wave of overthinking about how my tone might be read or if the joke is awkward. Does anyone else do this, or am I just being weirdly anxious about digital communication?]]></description>
