For me it's usually phonecall anxiety and I am like "What's broken now?!"

*pats Firn*

I pretty much just assume someone's selling something a wishlist item at this point, and hope that it's not overpriced or being sold for FCs.

My feelings: casual indifference.

Aha, I think it'd be more pleasant to get excited over PMs, but my inbox is always running out of room, and I tend to usher folks over to my hangout instead (link in sig, lol).

I do get excited when I'm searching for RPs on Gaia, though, since the prospect for potential partners always interests me.

And my anxiety tends to lean more towards offline communications, such as having to socialize in a crowd of strangers (that pretty much drains me) or dealing with difficult/a ton of customers.

I had to separate myself at a Thanksgiving party in November because of the former, but I was pretty fine when I had things to keep me busy (like giving out gifts and helping with dinner) for Christmas. Having space to retreat to also helps a lot. That Thanksgiving party was too crowded, aha.

As for work, I remember I was shaking at one point because I was so concerned on messing up something in our new system that a patron asked if I was alright. I told him I was just over-caffeinated, which wasn't a complete lie either, aha. I'm always over-caffeinated --or just plain caffeinated. My desk constantly has tea or coffee on it; just yesterday, I had two coffees and a milk tea.

Aha, nice! Well, you are more than welcomed there!

I only go on Gaia when I want to RP, aha. And I found KofK the same way as well!

Ahhh, yeah, an unbalanced workload or being overworked sucks. My manager often tries to give me her assignments because she's busy with so many others, or doesn't want to do them. She also makes me work on more paper/computer stuff in the background because I'm more reliable on it than my coworker (who has better customer service, but makes more mistakes).

I wouldn't mind it so much if I didn't feel like she was shirking her work or if I didn't also have to double check everything my coworker (who's been there as long as I have) does. My manager's constant nagging and nitpicking is also annoying, but eh, no workplace is perfect.

Depending on the number of new folks and the setting, meeting people can be enjoyable for me. I certainly like doing so online, but offline comes with more conditions, aha.

Only reason my inbox is capped is cuz I'm too lazy to delete
Meh

*pats Kit* I think the Market Notification System goes off faster than I have money for so I just leave them in my inbox to rot, lol.

I don't pay much attention to my PMs. They're never from real people, just auction stuff. And I often can't afford the stuff on my wishlist!
