^ omg that must have been scary. I also use discord but even using voice chat sounds nerve wrecking to me.
I actually like to talk to people. Require it, actually. I'm self-conscious about my voice and about my awkward silences, but I need people in my life willing (wanting!) to talk to me. Unfortunately, there is exactly one person in the entire f-ing world who actually gets anything out of talking to me, and calls me because they LIKE to talk to me. Just one. That I've managed to live more than half a century like this is a wonder, but I've about had enough.
I understand that. Discord is wonderful in that aspect as well as twitch and other platforms. You can meet people with the same interests and don't have to force yourself to find a common ground.
