When I make a new friend online and we hang out a lot in a short space of time, I find myself hyperfocusing on wanting to interact with them. I try my best to hold myself back to what would be an acceptable level. It gets to a point where I feel like almost nothing else matters but their next response.
Does anyone else have this? If so, is there a coping technique I can do to reduce it or make it more bearable?

It has happened to me in real life and online, and I think is a perfect way to attract toxic people, or alienate some of the non-toxic ones. I haven’t engaged closely with people in ages because I can’t seem to get the measure right.
