Like I wanna do cute tiktok trends or call someone up and be able to just rant when smth upsetting happens, or share plans and inside jokes. The only ppl I get texts from are ad promos and my mom asking if I work today

I’ll try to be your friend 🫤 Or at least see how it goes and then never text again Eh forget about tik tok trends, I don’t think you really want that or that it will make you very happy. Wdik tho I guess the rest makes sense to me however

Like I just don’t connect w anyone to where I can have a texting convo. And when I did I guess ppl had bigger lives bc I really did feel left on read a lot. And then in college my roommates made groups without me, also community school, and high school. Or that my ex went through my phone so I just stopped using it since then. Or that I don’t really have friends or a space that helps me make them so, I don’t really have a person in my life I actually can call a friend. Or if I was crashing out.

That’s a lot to handle. Make sure u take a breath if you need, but also remember that true friends don’t live in your phone. Can you think of anyone like that?

Sounds really hard. If I’m you, maybe I would pick one thing to get better at in communication. Like next time I meet someone, I would try a way of asking for their contact (instagram, phone number), and then try reaching out to them. In my eyes adding a smiley face never hurts :)

I did recently, ran into someone from hs, got his number and tried asking him for coffee so I can hear his story, asked for my schedule and I sent it, checked back in on it, radio silence from him. Smileys and all. It gets really discouraging out here.

Could you accidentally have come on a bit strong?

I don’t think so, I gave that tons of time between answering, nearly Forgot I almost had plans. I didn’t double text or send anything longer than 3 lines worth of text space. I didn’t try to pry up questions or anything, just asked if he was all good for coffee and catching up

Gotcha. Well confidence and effort is not always a perfect serum. But it’s definitely a good path to where you want to go. Don’t give up!

I appreciate it fr I totally don’t think it was me this time trust I had that thought too and reviewed it. 100% normalcy in the best way possible. Not striving
