I like spending time with my friends when I am in the mood to socialize. I want to be able to opt in to hanging out. Needing to improv a conversation outside my “office hours” is frustrating.
Not trying to say that. I just want people to better recognize who’s worth calling their friends and who in their lives are just self assigned obligations. I’d like more people to cherish eachother in their communities instead of feeling the need to ‘play the part’ all the time.
It’s optimistic, maybe, but I genuinely wish better for everyone who feels the need to engage with this kind of banter and doesn’t actually want to. There may or may not be a better opportunity for a genuine connection or for both people to recognize they don’t actually know each other that well and either work to build that or acknowledge eachother and move on.
Eh. Working through some abuse and it’s made me look at things differently lately. Also maybe too off topic at this point.
I think the issue is that im excited to see my friends when i want to see my friends, im not excited to have people stop my train of thought while im trying to do something
Make friends you’re excited to see
It’s not about friends but more about acquaintances

For the socially anxious, this is like telling a depressed person to ‘stop being depressed’.
