Maybe I can just try not to request things over email or text message?

Yes. That's a good idea. It's best to talk in person where you can see the bodylanguage of the other person and can see their emotional response to your request.

If you feel anxiety about your request and your girlfriend is empathic, she can help you when she sees you being anxious.
