For those people who have someone to text to. I'm going through that one phase in life where I just have absolutely no one to talk to and need serious help. what do you do? How'd you meet them? and how do you keep these relations going? It seems that I've never been able to keep a stable relationship with anyone be it online or in real life.

Keys to a long lasting friendship

#

For me, the number one key is at least one common interest or hobby. Pretty much all of my long lasting friendships check that box

#

I just cant seem to approach people

#

Unless they talk to me first

#

🤝

steel berry
#

That's my biggest problem

warm cairn
#

I also have this problem. I don't know how I do it, but sometimes it just happens. I usually get to know someone new through someone I already know

steel berry
#

Mutuals?

#

And yes, approaching strangers is scary

steel berry
#

Its not like scary scary

#

But its like

#

"What are they gonna think about me" kinda thing

#

Yk

Approaching someone with the intent of friendship: scary
Approaching someone with the intent of something more than friendship: terrifying

#

Yeah my first impressions are terrible

#

But the more someone gets to know me

#

The better it gets

#

I remember how I got to know one of my good friends irl. We met thanks to his mom, who's my mom's coworker

#

Thats cool

#

I kinda wished id spent more time with the people that actually seemed interested in me

warm cairn
#

My first impressions are usually alright. I'm more concerned about people getting to know me on a deeper level. That could turn them away

steel berry
#

So we're the complete opposite

#

Pretty funny if you ask me

#

I REALLY wanna talk to this one person thats been giving me hints for a very long time

#

But now that i changed schools its really hard to catch up with him

warm cairn
#

What kind of hints?

steel berry
#

Like he mentioned if i was single

#

And then he wouldn't stop complimenting me

warm cairn
#

Oh yeah, those are some good signs

steel berry
#

But then again

#

I dont wanna date him

#

Just kinda cacth up on things

warm cairn
#

So you just wanna be friends with him?

steel berry
#

I guess you could say that

#

But i dont wanna hurt his feelings or anything

#

I just don't feel like dating right now
