Advice with social anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

I have a online friend who I've regularly been talking to most days, though recently she's shut me out for almost two weeks, which is abnormal for us.

She told me she has social anxiety earlier, and I don't want to pressure her into talking to me if she doesn't want to, but I do want to make it clear that I'm free to talk to when she's ready? I'm not sure what the best thing to do in this case, msg or just wait it out ? Any suggestions would be helpful.

My friend and I both have general anxiety, so we have a habit of just sending each other memes or pictures of cats or whatever to let the other know we're thinking of them, even if we can't talk.

You could always send a short message saying basically what you said here. "Hey I don't want to pressure you but I haven't heard from you lately and that's not our norm so I'm just checking in and letting you know no pressure but I'm here if/when you want to talk."

Short message via the usual route you use when talking, and keep it simple. Just a hey, I've been thinking about you or hey, here's a cute pic/funny meme/interesting article/cool book that made me think of you/reminded me of some stuff in our shared history. Maybe a very brief update on what you've been up to. I find it easiest to NOT ask any direct questions that might pressure a response, so instead of "How are you?" it's "Hope things are cool with you", etc. etc.

If you want to be more explicit, then go ahead and say, no pressure to respond if you're not up to it, just wanted to say hi and let you know I'm here if you need me.
