How do you actually get in the friend zone? ð¤£
Sounds weird!
But what I mean is.. I don't get how some girls talk for a few mins and basically find loads in common or just know how to connect with one another. They suddenly make plans together.
I have a few people I see often that we have a nice chat together but I'm so awkward and anxious that I tend to just not know how to move the conversation along in a interesting way.. I've been told ask questions but I feel like I ask dumb stuff so everyone just thinks I'm an idiot
Other people seem to like swap social media or numbers and I've known and seen some of these people for 3 years and yet I don't like meet up with them for coffee or anything plus I'm always low on money so most of the people I talk to often have jobs and I'm just at home with my kids..
I don't know what I'm trying to ask.. I'm scared to make any friends anyway because I'm crap at keeping them and I don't want anyone to end up hating me because I'm crap at texting back or to anxious to meet up last min
Its so hard but I miss having that friend to just laugh with.. I miss laughing
@Hanbamble Asking questions to build friendship is an art. Find some books. Don’t get discouraged if you’re trying and it’s not working because not everyone will click with you. Learn mindfulness meditation because it teaches you to tune into you, your emotions. When in a social setting pay attention to your emotions, try to pay attention to their body language to be sensitive to their emotions. Social anxiety doesn’t have to overwhelm you but if it is particularly troublesome consider a therapist. When you get friends don’t repeat your habits, put in just a little more effort. Lastly you deserve friends and good laughs. Think of the process as self growth and self care.
