hello all,
do you seek new people? if you're contented with your social circle, you could very understandbly not just NOT seek people, but hope people don't seek you.
so, then, do you like being approached by strangers, by future friends? do you like the process of getting to know people?
I do!! At least in my head.. I donāt think it translates well when I actually try to act on it. I have been told that whenever people talk to me, it seems as though I donāt want to talk to them⦠or want to end the conversation as soon as possible. Which sucks!! Because I do want people to approach me, to talk to me, to be my friend, to get to know each other!! But alas⦠I am not that great at holding conversations and talking to new people and allat :(.
I like talking to people no matter who it is but it genuinely does depend on how I feel at the timešš there are certain times where I feel so happy and energized I start talking to everybody around me then the other half where I just wanna isolate myself all in all on the times where I am in the mood to talk to people I enjoy every second of it! I love meeting and learning about other people it brings me so much joy
I was too tired to write an answer so here it is now š I do seek new people, maybe not often because of my perpetual fatigue, but it's something I push myself to do. Though I end up never getting in touch once someone (online) replies to my request to befriend them š£ I don't think it's shyness, I guess I forget I'm not extroverted. I love the idea of making more friends but don't like it so much in practice.
I do like when strangers approach me, though. I make sure to muster up the energy to talk to them because they made an effort to reach out in the first place! Getting to know people is nice, there's something so "warm" about human connection. That's the best way to describe it, at least. It's much easier to form close bonds in real life for me. I value physical connection, I suppose. x_x
Despite my earlier words, I do want to try to improve my effort towards forming online friendships... My writing style on here is less casual than most, but I've been told my personality is quite the opposite when I warm up to someone. š¶ (Anybody who reads this,) let's be friends!
in a sense.. i love talking to people, but i'm not very interested in building connections. i often seek people though! i talk to like everyone. back in the days when i had internet and car keys i talked to absolutely everyone i saw..
so i guess i am content with my social circle. i don't have many people who i'm friends with, but i make up for it by having many one-time conversations in my daily life
In the not-so-distant past I had crippling social anxiety so I did not often seek people out despite having the desire to. Now, I am intentionally more reserved and only attempt to get to know new people with they've truly piqued my interest and we're on the same wavelength; otherwise, I am generally satisfied with my current circle of friends.
I am not necessarily fond of the process of getting to know others unless there is sufficient reciprocation. Aside from that, I have very frequent social burn out so I'm not always proactive as I'd like to be!
I do!! Iām just terrible at it o(ćļ¹ć)o
I like befriending new people. I also just generally enjoy seeing how people different to me are and how I can learn from them. I like going to things like parties and social gatherings. I struggle fairly often talking to NT people but a lot of my extroversion comes out when I'm talking to fellow ND/Autistic people!
yes i very much seek new people, i like being approached most of the time! and yes i like the process of getting to know people
I can't say I 'seek' them out,ā but if we're,ā say,ā in the same server then how can I not approach!ā I bemoan to say I'm content with our current social circle,ā for my headmates don't have as large of a social battery as I do,ā &ā if they value their alone time then as do I š©·ā Although speaking independently,ā I'm more than enthused to expand my spider's webā
We're told we're distantā &ā unapproachable . . . I wish that wasn't true,ā I'm always down to make a friend āāāā that's unrealistic with SzPD when not everyone has the patience wait for the rest of my Executioners to warm up.ā I may be the only one in our system who's genuinely intrigued by anyone who approaches us ź° į© į”ā āź±į©į”
I love the process of getting to know people! it helps understand how really different people are from eachother in their own unique way!, I love making new friends and learning about them so much its so fun!!
