Friends

how do people find making friends? New ones….do you text a lot? Should you meet up much or do you just wait until you are invited somewhere before initiating a meeting yourself

  • As an adult its been a lot harder. I think friendships are more complex as an adult. Ive shied away from it all throughout life because of the feelings of awkwardness. The odd times when I have put myself out there ive felt like im masking and any follow up attempt has me making excuses to get out of it because I dont feel like it was the real me they have met. Masking can be exhausting and isnt something you would want to be doing to maintain any friendships 

    its a bit of a catch-22 for me. I want that super deep connection with someone i would call a friend but struggle with the steps that would lead to it maybe

    Yeah most of my friends are from my school days / university etc but a lot of them are moving abroad and things now so think I might need to actively start attempting to socialise. It’s good when you have old friends because they will just happily come round for tea and watch a movie or chill quietly with you with no expectations
