Obessive emailing

Ang93

Does anyone else have a problem with obsessive emailing?

When I send an email, I experience deep anxiety about what I've said and whether the person will reply or not.

This usually results in my sending more emails to try and correct what I've said or seek reassurance from the person I'm emailing.

I can spend hours doing nothing, lying in my bed, obsessing over whether the person will reply.

    Hey there. Just came across your thread and wanted to share my 2 cents on the obsessive emailing thing. It's like you hit send, and then the waiting game begins. I used to be the same way, but then I realized that constantly sending follow-up emails just made me look desperate. Plus, it's not healthy to spend hours lying in bed obsessing over it. Trust me, been there, done that. Have you tried distracting yourself with something else? Maybe watch a funny video or go for a walk. Anything to take your mind off of it. Anyway, I'm new on this forum and just stumbled upon this very old post. But I wanted to chime in and say that you're not alone in this. Let's buy [link removed by Moderator] and send lots of emails to all of those guys. Just kidding, but seriously, hit me up if you need any more advice on this topic.
