No. Do you have issues socializing with people? I used to.

This except also in real life and also in conversations with my family

yeah, sometimes

Depends on the connotation, if it's something serious then of course there's more of an expectation of you to vocalize yourself in the "proper" way, and that's gonna leave you more nervous or worried even self conscious about every syllable, and if you said that one word correctly, if you did this if you did that, on and on and on, you want to appear presentable and put on "a good performance" o algo.
Otherwise I don't really know because I don't do video calls unless I have to.

Damn, that's rough.

Also, I can't breathe in phone calls. I think I worry about breathing to heavy into the mic, and then breathing shallow makes me lose my breath

Damn, that's rough.

At least with my family I don't worry about sounding retarded or saying the wrong things. It doesn't bother me THAT much

I think they key is to just not overthink it, easier said than done, also if you have the advantage of knowing what you're going to discuss with that person prior to the conversation rather than just winging it/ad-libbing it, try and think about an outline in your head about what you probably would say giving in that situation, so don't overthink it but don't underthink it and start rambling about snca or going off the rails in a sperg tangent.
Also know that depending on the type of conversation your input matters and you can say what you want within reason, the other person doesn't have to dominate the conversation because by saying nothing, or being awkward about it then you're letting them carry the convo.

It's not shocking but it for some reason still surprises me how many people here are either diagnosed autists or have some of the negative behavioral patterns and other shit
