I fear my inbox

Well...I am a child of the internet generation. It's only natural to see your friend's face more on facebook than in real life, for kids my age.
So have I got this perpetual fear of checking my e-mail??
It's a source of anxiety for me, like sometimes if I see that I have a lot of messages, I feel like I'll have a panic attack.
...Anyone else have this problem?

    You've got mail...

    Trippy. Do you also fear phone calls? How about bill collectors? People knocking at the door?

    Are you an illegal alien?

    Did you get some really bad news by email in the past?

    Interesting, but before I'd say "you're nuts," I'd need more information.

    I literally panic if I get a message in my tumblr inbox, a email, phone call and text message. I don't get this panicky if I receive a letter, but my heart will still quicken. I guess it's anxiety or some kind of phobia.

    I only fear it when I've recently posted something controversial on IIN.

    I guess if you get a lot of bad news that way... I dont even set up voicemail on my phone because it upsets me, because my mom used to call me and leave me voicemails when I was in trouble. Same with texts, I don't like text messages from her. And I don't check my email because I used to take classes online and ever since then email has stressed me out... And odd numbers texting me stresses me out, same with phone calls. I deleted my Facebook because I freaked every time I had a message hoping it was an ex.... I miss just seeing people in real life. What happened to that?

    I hate checking my YOUTUBE inbox... I'm usually commenting on lots of videos and though I get nice comments -quite- often, I've seen some pretty hateful ones and I get to nervous to check them. I always take internet comments seriously and I try to forget about them, but then they haunt me and stick around for quite a while.
