Online selective mutism

Post Reply New Topic

I get this when I am online. Its bad in person but online it feels like more of a failure as there is less pressure to respond to someone immediately.

It can be triggered by somene using sarcasm, uncertainty of someones meaning and surprise over someones comments, rendering me unable to respond.

I find it difficult to continue such conversations, or end them.

That happens to me both online and off as well. But it happens offline more, probably because I don't get to choose which people I talk to offline more often than not.

People who I trust or respect, I tend to be able to be vocal towards, but people who don't fall into that category its hard to talk to. Even if its just someone I don't really know that well.
