Every couple of months, I seem to strike up a new friendship with an acquaintance. Usually around some shared interest. We’ll quickly start doing stuff together and texting often. However, after around two to three weeks I notice a change and we slowly drift apart back to acquaintances. They start replying slower and we stop doing stuff together.
I’m introverted and struggle with social anxiety so I can find it difficult to keep up the energy to text them all the time. So I feel like they think I’m not interested. If I try to be enthusiastic with them it feels kind of fake and they seem to detect that.
How do I show I’m interested without burning myself out?
