I wish I could keep a friendship

I am extremely socially awkward & have almost a fear of being the first person to initiate a conversation .

I start overthinking..
Will this person even like me ?
Will they ghost me ?
Am I being too much ?

I feel so vulnerable bc all I want to do is build a village & form solid connections but the thought of losing a friend absolutely terrifies me .

My husband and I are both NC with family and my only 2 friends are on the other side of the world and sometimes it feels like they’re incredibly busy .

I just want someone I can check in on and check in with me too. Someone who can vent but also listen. Someone who will be there . Someone who I can just shoot a text to without judgement. Someone who understands the loneliness that is motherhood & is open to sharing experiences.

I feel this

I feel this on a spiritual level

I’m open to new friends!

I am the exact same way, i over think literally every interaction. Im open to become friends 😊

I used to be the same way, so I completely understand! If you are interested in a long distance friend I’m always looking for more mommy friends! I’m also very outgoing, so I love starting convos and can usually carry one pretty well! 😊

Could have written this

Hii you can message me .. I used to be just like you .. we can be friends

I’m the same way! I’m also bad at having small talk. 🙃

I feel you. Plus sometimes after an interaction with someone, I’m like omg I’m so awkward.

This feels like my story! I have recently discovered that I am so awkward that I don’t know what to say and I people please and my timing so wrong that I become the center of attention

Mee too 😩 it’s so exhausting being the one that carries the conversation on.

I'm weird too. I overshare and then regret it. I just get so excited to talk to people sometimes... I miss talking to people so much😅

I feel exactly the same, message me if you like ❤️

Are you ladies bothered by your man having many female friends that are apparently as neutral as their male friends?

He’s had most of these female friends long before I met him so it’s not that I want him to discontinue their friendship, I just wish he wouldn’t text them often and such. I don’t believe he hangs out with them or at least not like one on one.. should I just chill and not be insecure? Side note, I did see only one conversation where they were not romantic per se but flirtatious..

Are you using it? Have you ever been in therapy? Are you for or against it for any particular reason?

Curious

When connections are made on here who should message first?

1. The person who said yes 1st
2. The 2nd person who made the connection official

I have been wondering this because I personally feel like it should be the person who made the connection official. But maybe I'm wrong.
