I decided to just Suck It Up and apologized. They aren't online right now and might not be again until much later and I'm not sure how they'd react anyway... And who knows. They might decide to not talk to me for a couple days. And maybe my Worst Fear will come true and they won't ever talk to me again. But... but at least I made an effort to not let my anxiety get the better of me and feed into the self-fulfilling prophecy that is my loneliness dilemma.

I struggle with anxiety too, so I sympathize. Good on you for apologizing! I hope everything works out.

Also, I'd strongly suggest finding a therapist/psychiatrist/etc, if you have the means. It's nice to have someone to vent to, and a good therapist can also teach you how to deal with the anxiety. My own anxiety has gotten much more manageable ever since my therapist taught me how to recognize and work through my irrational thoughts.
