the worst part about not having many friends is wanting to share your interests with someone and realizing that there's no one to share it with. it also feels unfair to ask your friends if you can share with them, and they just don't match the energy. i don't want to force my friends to be into the things i'm into, but its so painful wanting to share something and no one caring. its the quickest way to make me regress into those child-like memories where i'm alone. i feel so vulnerable being stuck feeling like that, but i won't speak up because i don't want to make it a big deal or sound like a child.
a short vent, but one thats been eating at me for months

Listening to a friend talk about something they’re passionate in is the most beautiful part of a friendship to me: friendship is about growing & exploring the unknown with them—they’re like a close guide for you whenever you do explore that topic they love. It feels great to support someone that way too, I love that feeling. Some of my strongest memories with my friends is venturing into places online that I didn’t know about with them & going down rabbit holes together: like when they first dragged me onto VRChat, I took the leap into it & had fun being around them as they explored. I think that listening & sharing are the fundamentals of friendship—that’s how people bond
thank you so much for this, it really helped put some things into perspective for me. the way you describe it is so beautiful. thanks for passing by and please be well ^-^

No problem, I’ve felt that way for a little bit, but I eventually opened up & started to truly enjoy my time with people. It just takes some time really, but that’s why people are friends: to grow & explore the unknown together. Being friends means committing oneself to this exploration, & assuring people that you will stick with them
