Are you scared to make friends? Scared to get rejected for trying? Scared to make one on false pretenses? Scared to have one, but then lose them over a stupid incident or misunderstanding?
Or are you scared of not being able to make up with that friend later because there’s so many layers to what happened that they won’t understand? Or scared that your friends won’t ever be able to fully understand you?
I’ve learned this is important to unpack. Good luck, friend!
