I'm past antisocial person and I like got over that healed, actually started talking to people and stuff (few years ago).
Now, I feel like just when I think I got it figured out something happens that spirals bck to doubt n stuff.
Like years later I've proven that I just can't do this anymore, even though I've worked crazy hard to get here, even though it was authentic and felt real. (by this I mean have these friends lol)
Maybe I rlly became an extrovert for a hot minute but ik I'm not rn.
Rn my ideal dream is to creep in my closed lil safe space, find other prolly traumatized like minded weirdos and get the heck out of this FRIENDSHIP PEDESTAL. But I surely know that I still won't be happy after a while. I'll feel lonely. So what the...

I just tends to keep to myself. I dont force myself to make friends. If I gravitate to someone, I get to know them better, or if someone approaches me, I give it a chance. I don't really put any stress on my social life. There are a lot of people in the world. Not all of them will suit you, and not all of them will overlook you. I dont focus on making friends. I just let it happen naturally. But if I'm lonely and looking for interaction, I tend to visit places that bring together like minded people who share my interests so that we have a common ground to start on.

I am an introverted-extrovert. I am extroverted at my job and will socialize but I rarely talk to anyone outside of that. Friendships are hard for me to maintain, because I will disappear from social media sometimes, and I honestly don't get out much as is. I think the thing for me was balancing life and finding people that I connect with. I have one best friend that I have had since high school, and even then, sometimes I second-guess myself and my friendship with them.
I think it's all about having confidence and not second-guessing myself.
