So many threads on here about how its difficult to make friends in adult life.
Various suggestions made.
What happens once you have taken a slight risk or asked someone to meet up and do something.
It all goes fine. Low key. Not too long . Let's say it was a music event locally. Didn't talk much as too busy watching. I thought that was good. Cant be getting intense or too deep or personal. Just wanna be friendly and nice. Not crazy or a gossip or an over sharer.
I used to often chase people or just be the one that asks whether someone wants to go see something/ meet up.
But my anxiety can't deal with that these days. I dont want to deal with any kind of rejection even if someone says they aren't sure and will let me know.
I dont want to be reminded of unreliable people.
This was supposed to be totally easy going. Yet I feel they might not be up for meeting up on a occasionally basis.
My fear is only ever meeting once and not again. Im not sure lifes about one offs for me.
They know where I am. Im free sometimes and open . So why is it difficult to know what happens next.
The ball is in their court.
Im really surprised its making me doubt myself.
