I’ve been very shy my whole life, because I know I’m weird - I’m autistic, I have depression and anxiety, and I’m very insecure and clingy.
Recently, I joined a new group of friends to get away from my ex. There are 14 of us, and I’ve been close friends with two of them for a long time but the rest are either mutual friends or I’ve never really spoken to them before. I’ve been trying to get involved and interact a little more with those that I haven’t spoken to much, and I have their numbers already.
The thing is, when I’m in the group, I’m too anxious to go up and just invite myself into their conversations because it just feels awkward and wrong. And when I text them, I feel like maybe they don’t really like me. Some of them make absolutely no effort to engage with me. Some of them do but then always “have to go” and then I see them online again minutes after they told me they were busy. It just makes it even harder to connect with them because I don’t feel like they want me there.
Maybe I’m just being insecure - after all, they’ve taken me into their group, they say hi to me, and one of them came up to speak to me this morning before going off with her closer friends. I spoke to two of them for one or two hours the other day, over text, and I’ve only had their numbers since Monday. This is what I mean about insecure and clingy - I know it’s stupid, and it’s this kind of thing that puts people off wanting to be friends with me.
It doesn’t help that one of the girls in the group knows I like her. I feel like she’s just being nice so that she doesn’t hurt my feelings. She’s never made much of an effort to say hi, it feel awkward, but I don’t know what to do about it.
Why do I feel like this? Why do I have to annoy everyone who tries to be nice to me? At this rate, I’m going to be lonely for a long time…
