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 was too tired to write an answer so here it is now 🙈 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 😣 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. 🐶 (Anybody who reads this,) let's be friends!
