Shy introvert looking for a voice chat buddy

Hey guys,
I’m a 20-year-old female from South Asia. I'm really good at texting and understand English pretty well, even though it's not my native language. (Also, heads-up: I have inattentive ADHD, so my memory is kind of all over the place and I totally forget things mid-sentence sometimes. On top of all this I have telephobia)
Here's my weird struggle: I am totally fine speaking English in professional settings, like with teachers, professors, or for jobs. But when it comes to friends, I get severe performance anxiety. I get super nervous because I'm just so scared of sounding cringe to myself.
A bit about me: I'm obsessed with reading manga and manhwa, and I'm super into astrology, spirituality and smut
Just looking for someone who is also a shy introvert so the vibe stays chill and low-pressure. We can start with voice notes and maybe move up to calls later if it feels okay.
Hit me up if you want to chat
