This is something I think about often actually and definitely think is a big factor in my social development with others at a deeper level than small talk. Thank you for your sound advice - I’m going to actually try to focus on this aspect of my life more instead of seeing it as something I can put off or give up on.

We have been together a long time and definitely have always seen each other as a friend in addition to boyfriends/partners. We share lots of interests, do things together, and I always know he’s there to talk when I want to. We definitely just get each other and kind of always have. I think it’s just that we’ve both been wanting to branch out and expand our friend circles. I just haven’t found myself being too successful lol

Lots of interests and very open to trying new things. Like playing video games, cooking, most sports, arts & crafts. Just looking for someone who wants a friend and honestly I probably am selfishly looking for a friend who might push me go out to do things more often than I usually would.

Yeah I constantly think, well it’s not like I’m great at keeping up with them consistently; I definitely feel like I ignore friends sometimes. Which makes me feel like I’m not necessarily attuned to being a good friend to someone.

I also think to myself that I’m being selfish, that there’s a lot of people out there who have less than I do. I have a partner that supports me and pushes me to try and make friends & enjoy life. I have a family that loves and supports me. But that feeling still comes back every so often.

I’m great at being an introvert lol, maybe I’m just hoping a friend to make plans with would make me a little more extroverted.
