❤️ A Small Personal Update ❤️ (My Neighbours) (Making Friends as an Adult)
🕑 Added 2023-05-10 15:51:02 +0000 UTCSo, I finally went round to my neighbour's today.
They have a nice family with two kids. The lady of the very nice couple said "we haven't seen you around much."
To which I simply replied: "I'm gonna be honest with you, *insert name*, I'm just incredibly antisocial."
She threw her head back and laughed. And thus began an authentic exchange.
We talked, traded phone numbers and agreed to meet up for coffee.
I have officially begun a new friendship as an adult.
Which might sound like not a big deal, but as someone who struggles to communicate and reach out - it felt like a good first step.
I hope we can all make new friends as adults. It's probably the time we need them the most.

As someone who struggles with social interactions with my neighbors this is uplifting. I'm getting there though sometimes it's awkward but thankfully they take all my weirdness in stride

As someone who is also more antisocial on the irl side of things, I give big grats on the new friendship ^^ hope it'll be an amazing time going forward, and maybe they'll get you to be a bit less antisocial ... friends can do that quite often ^^
