Im in a similar boat as you at the moment... I wouldnt be able to cope if i messed it up!
All im trying to do is not overthink things, which i tend to do. If i feel emotional, i will wait until i dont until i message back, and im trying to be as 100% genuinely myself as i can.
And i must always always remind myself that, if they back off from me being myself then i must simply accept it as they arent worth my time of day!
Good luck
