Is double texting guilt normal for Gen Z?

Very. Swipe fatigue and social performance pressure make nerves spike even when you want connection.

Use low-pressure taste games or short chats where the stakes are play, not proof.

What if I freeze anyway?

Name it lightly, ask one specific question, and give yourself permission to leave on time.
