I think she in person is always one step harder than online. I at least somehow feel less exposed and that I can even do some weird trick like clenching my fists, even closing my eyes if there’s no camera… so the pressure is just a bit less. But those are just some distraction techniques. I’ve made myself introduce myself every time and it’s getting better after 2-3 years as before I was just avoiding it.
