I talked to someone I admire

Lounge

So I talked to a person on a different site. And I really admire them because they’re a really good writer.

But right now they’re going through a bit of a rough patch and I tried to talk to them to help them feel better. And they seem to be feeling better now but I also feel like a complete weirdo. Because I know I probably seemed creepy :disappointed_relieved:

Agh why can’t I just ■■■■■■■ chill omg

Practice makes perfect, and the first miles are always the roughest.

I just always feel so awkward I only ever talk to people when they’re depressed or when I’m depressed. I don’t know how to hold a normal conversation. It’s no wonder I can’t make any friends.

Any wonder?
Try expanding your conversation field to things more in the ‘regular’ times.

Just have a list in your head of things to talk about. It’s just like taking a grocery list with you to the store. Things like the weather, a mutual interest like sports, religion, books, etc.

That is true! :grin: but also too you’re like totally awesome and cool and we have quite a few things in common.

But idk I’m just so awkward I feel like I have the personality of a plank of wood. And it’s just like 20 times harder I think cause I look up to them so much.

I’m sorry I’m just a bundle of nerves and a total anxious mess. aaaaaaaaaa

certianly you can make friends only if you are at ease with the imperfections inside you and outside you. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes in conversations. Nobody is perfect.

That is definitely something I need to work on. I just don’t know how to stop worrying about it :pensive:

Just look at me: this morning I made a good guess of your personality while I did a poor guess to Moonbeam’s personality. I made a mistake but that guess was still a good try which made a nice conversation on this site. So why take things too seriously and can’t be light hearted?

You make some very good points! That was a very nice conversation :smile: I’m going to have to find a way to practice this. But for now I will just focus on calming my anxieties and I guess really I should just try to hope for the best

Thank you @green5
