anxiety, too much of a good thing? 

Umm... I'm worried about something...
I JUST got here (to this instance) and there's one person that likes to hug and cuddle other people, and another on a different instance that's spent the last half hour blushing because I'm calling her cute.
I'm really not used to positive attention like this. I'm definitely getting drunk on it, and I'm really afraid of going overboard and screwing everything up.

I'm seriously worried about the possibility of going from whatever good thing this is to being creepy in one Toot flat.
I really don't know how to deal with people in general. I really don't know when too far is too far.
And I overcorrect. HARD. Even a tiny mistake has me running for cover and going into a full-blown panic attack. I've been expelled from social groups for it.

@Terxbor it's ok - it's very different to a lot of other places.

The main thing is to always ask for consent and be ready for people to say no.

*hugs because hugs are great and also because lizardsquid is good like squirrel*
Thanks.
(Apparently I failed to send my earlier toot from soon after you sent... Sorry.)

@lizardsquid
*smile* Affectionate hugs from three different people today. That may be a record.

@Terxbor In my case, don't worry much. I don't mind most stuff but if you want I will tell you if you ever go too far Don't assume me being silent as disapproval or anything either. Otherwise on the affection bit, feel free to try odd stuff with me if you come up with something~.

I know of the running for cover thing myself; did last yesterday. Not sure I'd call it a panic attack in my case but still, it's why I've thought about the private account.

@BatElite
In my case, the running for cover is often the result of a panic attack, not synonymous with it.
