Making friends

That’s a good way of putting it, an act of quiet courage. It’s been awhile since I’ve made new friends in “real life” (not online). Most of my friends are through church, including my best friend. You see each other on church days, you go to church potlucks, you get invited to dinner, you just get to know them over time. My other friends are ones I still have from elementary school and college. There are fewer of them, but they are still important. Sometimes the thought of making new friends exhausts me, but I’m absolutely open to it. I’m a quiet person, but very friendly.

I am a shy person..so, it's the unitial move to connect.thats the hardest art for me

making a conversation and connecting to people

My problem is making the right move to make the connection.

"At the end of the day, making friends is an act of quiet courage" Making friends requires courage because it involves stepping out of your comfort zone and risking rejection. This act of bravery can lead to meaningful connections and deeper relationships I actually think this is nonsense What happened to the child we used to be when we eagerly made.friends with no fear of rejection We take on board false narratives thrust on us by people who have been rejected and who want to instill that fear in us that we will experience the same I think you have over thought this. I really do. Supermarkets. Best place to meet people. A place where single people go to fill in time. You can identify them by the forlorn way they meander around the aisles, picking up expensive items they have no intention buying, or in Denmark that's everything lol Take the bull by the horns, be brave. The aisle where you get chocolates is good If you get really s ared of meeting someone, buy a bar of chocolate Do you suffer from a social anxiety
