Just a lil vent,

I feel like when I'm trying to be calm, I come off as cold. Mainly when trying to help & comfort people.

Especially with the way I type, because the tone can be interpreted so much. How do you convey emotions into text properly besides emojis?
But when someones coming to you for comfort or advice, emojis seem very inappropriate.

"I'm sorry your struggling 😞" Vs. "I'm sorry your struggling." Come off different.
Adding, I tend to get very upset when I see, well, "I" written in my replies. The focus should be them and I'm immediately concerned they'll think I'm trying to push away from there issues.

Even know in this thread the amount if "I"'s seem selfish.
Additionally whenever people add "..." To sentences I feel like I've done something wrong. Or hurt there feelings.

I want to be there for people, but I keep getting paranoid that I'm making things worse. I know I'm overthinking it, but I can't help it.
