Just stop being so scared and accept that sometimes it wont land or work. I have bad social anxiety and exposure therapy works lol. Just bring up a topic that should vaguely interest both of you and go from there. If they dont respond, dont push. Its no biggie if they dont wanna talk, not everyones meant to be best friends
it is! that’s why i’m asking for help, because there are people out there with similar experiences that can advise me on how to deal with it! i’m so glad you’re so open to being educated on how issues that are personal to some people can also be relatable to others, and that when something isn’t relatable to you, you have the choice to not even engage a little bit!
Look I’ll be honest with you since I’ve been there before. People can’t help you on that. You learn as you grow. I can tell you what to do, what to say, what not to say, but at the end, it’s all on you. I’ve talked to literally thousands of people. Each person is different. You have to know how to read others to determine how you can effectively communicate with them. It takes time. You have time
that’s a really good sentiment and i’m grateful to you for taking a kinder approach but earnestly i learn by implementing things that other people teach me. i have spent a lot of time deciding it’s not worth it and i wanted to know if other people DO take that step, was it worth it? does it make it easier? and it seems like it does, so im gonna try harder myself to desensitize myself to the pressure. i do learn as i grow, but i think there’s nothing wrong with asking how others were able to grow
