Was tired but had meal with a friend who invited another person because she figured we would get on. We did. New friend? It’s nice. I am not good with understanding that people might like me. Even when we have demonstrably been mates for decades. But I try. It’s nice to be rewarded with a good night out and no anxiety.
Thank you. It’s a thing that is a bit broken in my mind. I know objectively that I am loved but I just have to physically remind myself. Like ‘why does this person sound excited to catch up?’… Oh yeah because they are my friend. I have no trouble feeling friendship towards others…? Just a broken connection somewhere.
I really appreciate that I can share this stuff here. It helps. A lot
This is a safe space! And your thoughts resonated with me a lot. It’s hard to believe anyone “likes” me, but at the same time… I’m awesome? It’s a weird thing.
