The story

So, I met this online friend on an app and we’ve been messaging ever since. It’s pretty creepy how alike we are in many ways, but that’s not the point. The point is idk if I’m a bad friend or not.

It’s a simple question I can ask him but I was already overthinking before and I don’t want to drive him away because I can’t keep my fucking mind straight. I’m not that good with friendships due to anxiety so I get paranoid that they’ll get bored and leave me

It’s not like he’s distant, it’s just sometimes after I reply to him, he doesn’t say anything at all. But I check on him, and he replies in seconds. I just convince myself that he’s just busy but if he was busy then why would he reply so quickly to my second message?

Sometimes I worry he’ll get bored of me and ghost me like my past friendships. But if I tell him that I’m overthinking again, I’m afraid that’ll drive him away faster.

I just need an outside point of view to tell me how they see it and what I should do. Pls don’t tell me to “chill out.” It’s not that simple for me to other people, thank you for your time :)
