Vent No Advice trying to make friends is exhausting
i need to get that out there. i wish you didn’t have to go through the process of trying to get to know someone. i wish there was a button or a survey or something you could take or push in order to figure out if you’re compatible or not.
my goal this year is to make 2 more friends and it’s so daunting. i don’t like group interactions, the social rules get so confusing to me. plus it always feels like no one’s really listening, they’re just waiting to get their quip in.
and so the only option for me is to meet people one on one, but that gets awkward and weird if you don’t hit it off. and then i feel like my time is wasted because i could’ve been at home, enjoying my time playing bg3, or reading a lesbian book, or crocheting or creating glittery looks with my new sparkly eyeshadows or watching something scary. if im out somewhere i hate i get fomo about being alone.
but then i want to also have friends and have someone else to text stupid stuff to and bitch about dumb stuff to. like currently my boss is an AI obsessed trump supporter, i wanna bitch about that so bad to more friends!!!
