Yeah, I'm surrounded by friends, specifically people i went to highschool with, and its great sometimes
but I feel like nowadays, being a young adult and in college, it still feels quite hard for me to make a long lasting friendship on my own.
The thing is, being out in public I'm used to being quiet until I'm spoken to.
But I discovered that that can come off mean, but i've never been good at introducing myself to people. In fact, it's actually hard for me to approach others unless I need help or am looking for something. Even then it takes me time to muster up the courage to approach someone.
Like, I was told it was rude to walk in and not say anything to anyone without saying "hey" .
But growing up, I was told to not talk to strangers, and I often kept to myself and was quiet in public. But at home I was in my safe space and I was myself regardless (being the youngest, i was mostly ignored by my siblings anyway.) I'm not gonna lie I was a loud and annoying kid at home but outside I was quiet as a mouse.
And one might ask, how does it relate to my life now? Well, around my friends and family I'm my normal self, joking, probably daydreaming and looking dumb because I have visual reactions to entire scenarios I play out in my head (kind of day dreaming about fun things I'd do with friends or me being some kind of bad ass secret agent that could fight or something idk im always in my own world ok ) but they don't judge me, or take it as me being my regular self, so in that reason I act like myself
but outside or to others I'm quiet or reserved and I'm mostly silent and to myself, listening to music with my earphones.
at first I didn't really care but overtime I kinda kept thinking about how I want more friends and I wouldn't even mind if they were online!
but anyways this was a lame ass rant about nothing

I relate to this, I never went to uni, but it's so hard to make new friends as an adult. I'm finding myself slink my way back onto social media hah, idc if i make friends far away it'd just be nice to chat n stuff yk.
The layout of the website is super cute, I kinda hope it stays active but doesn't blow up, I like it being niche on here, feels safe.
Also I feel you on the daydreaming, I use that shit wayy too much to cope rip.
(Unrelated but idk how to send you a friend request, otherwise i woulda sent one)
Daydreaming up scenarios is so fun I look insane laughing to myself because it's so hard to control facial expressions XD
YES I do hope this website stays niche but also continues to have enough people for it to have support and more users. But not too big that it'll become the carcass that is facebook and instagram LMAO
Oh and for the profile thingy, just click on my username and you'll see something that says send friend request.
I think it'll be under my user profile photo. I'm still learning how to work this place as well lmao they have an app but I actually prefer the website. The app still feels like it's being worked on.
But yeah, outside in public I just see people and say nothing but yet I keep trying to tell myself to make friends. And the people I do see here and there that I find interesting to talk to just disappear or I never see them again T.T
