How to start a friendship?
Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a good day! So there's this kid in my English class and school band who is a really awesome person. They are talented in so many ways, funny, sociable, smart, and just really cool. They are very friendly to people in their circles, and I always see them making others laugh. A while back, one of my best friends left me because of some really complicated stuff that went down that I won't get into right now, and I really want to become friends with this kid in my class. I see them all the time in band and stuff, but I'm too scared to talk to them because I feel like they're too cool for me. I'm just the basic nerd girl who gets good grades in school, but they not only do well in school, but have an interesting, gravitating personality, too. In the past 2 days, I've tried texting them a few times, and it's been going sort of well, but I still have a lot of anxiety around them and don't know how to develop this into a friendship. I tried finding common interests with them, but can't seem to find many.
