How do I stop worrying about how I sound in work messages/chat/email?

Self-Improvement / Personal Development

Problem/Goal: Stop being anxious about how I sound in work chat/text

Context: We usually talk in Discord. I don’t have a problem with talking in meetings it’s all pretty chill naman but when it’s text, I’m always anxious I either sound too eager or too mean or too serious.

Previous Attempt: Sometimes I do get annoyed at work (it’s a creative field and sometimes I lowkey butt heads with my bosses) and I try to watch how I word things and I hate hate hate corpo talk and I refuse to do it but sometimes nakaka-anxious. Lalo na pag I use period (.) or excessive exclamation (!), sometimes I just add an emoji na lang but ugh as a woman in mostly men team I hate that I’m worrying about this. Any tips?

Clients (and team) are foreigners so the culture is probably different but it’s still nerve wracking.
