most of the time when I don't know what else to say or if I feel like I haven't added enough to the comment or conversation, I end up adding things to my message, after I send it I cringe at what I put and added a few emojis in there just to add a bit of emotion to not seem blunt but I end up looking back at it and I overanalyze it, thinking did I add too much, is this kind of like masking?
It's not how I mask, for me masking is putting on a metaphorical mask where I'm different and more like the rest of the world to fit in and make things easier, which is okay but the end result is usually exhaustion and severe anxiety.
I do the same as you were my messages. I overanalyze everything though. Every little detail wonder if I should have written less or more. I'm an avid writer, write so much all day but the stuff I write I overanalyze and spend literally hours revising it.
I think it's a part of the autism. All good fun
