Not in a bad way but in the sense that I can get along well with most people so everyone is a potential friend. Like as long as you're not just a terrible person who everyone hates anyway then I'll probably like you and that's that. No one is more of a friend to me than anyone else is really.
Because like I've made friends on here who I haven't talked to in years but the friendship never ends its just that people go their separate ways and I can respect that, it keeps you circulating and talking with different people which is what I like to do.
It's fun to talk, I like talking, as you can tell by how much I ramble on here. So I can just talk to anyone really. It's fun to get to know people.
I wish I could be that chill, Flip.
Interacting with new people is hellacious for me though. In fact I don't want to meet new people, at all, which is kinda bad at this point in life, because, like you said, people just go their separate ways sometimes, lol. My mind really doesn't work like most people's though, so I take ages to warm up to people and start to trust them before I can talk about much of anything meaningful with them, and I am very much a creature of habit; I get really anxious/stressed when things change. So, ideally, I'd have a handful of people I'm close to who would be around somewhat predictably, so that things feel stable.
Unfortunately, by their nature, people are going to be unpredictable, which means I'm going to be anxious. Add to that the fact I'm awkward as all hell and can't make myself send people messages 90% of the time (largely because I can never figure out how to start a conversation), and the fact that people have a very difficult time understanding me, and everything social is way more complicated for me than it should be. I don't know why I can't just like, talk to people, lol.
I can apparently talk to the void of forums just fine, but actually talking specifically to
another person, even via text, something about that makes me extremely anxious, and sometimes that doesn't go away even when I do know and trust the person in question.
