How do some people do it so well? **making friends**
Ever since I already knew and was very well aware that I’m shy, still I manage to make at least 1-6 friends. Seeing others have so many friends didn’t bother me that much when I was younger because I’m surrounded by great people *~~(still am but just less)~~*. But now that I’m quite older, I’m quite conscious about how I only have a few friends. I try to get over it by reminding myself that quality is better than quantity. Or why should I be a people pleaser? Though, I know deep down that it’s not how I truly feel.
Unless I approach other people, I won’t make new friends *~~(which I totally get but just wonder if it was the other way around)~~*. Why don’t people approach me and invite me to be their friend or simply have a casual conversation? It makes me overthink that maybe I’m just dull as a person. My friends do tell me that they thought I was unapproachable at first, so perhaps it’s the rbf. Maybe I intimidate other people unknowingly.
I’m so tired of being told that I’m too quiet or shy. Any advice?
