Could it be the benefit of writing? The process of writing is conducive to organizing your thoughts.

Could it be that you control the pace? Nobody is rushing you to post. It is less obvious in chat though. But obvious on a forum such as this one.

Could it be that you are not anxious because nobody is seeing you? Nobody is reading your face and body language (unless you use video chat).
Thanks for this!
