#is this relatable
me, in the process of sending a risky text:
so I was gonna send this
to my crush with no context but then I got scared that they wouldn’t get it cause then not only would I have to explain the vine, I’d also have to explain why their lack of vine fluency means we can Not maybe hang out or something
one of my friends consoling me: just try not to dwell on things so much
me, thinking about the half hour I spent earlier that day over-analyzing the particular way I applied a paperclip and what it meant about me as a person: yeah you’re right, I should totally give that a try! thanks!
me @ me: I have to acknowledge the fact that it’s not fair for me to be upset over people not asking me to hang out when I never ask people to hang out. Just because I’m too insecure to request that someone endure spending time with me and I crave the assurance that comes with someone going out of their way to let me know that they enjoy my company by asking me to hang out with them, doesn’t mean that I’m the only one who experiences this and I need to be proactive: from now on, if I get the sudden inclination to meet up with someone, I will simply let them know instead of waiting for them to ask me
me: “hey wanna hang out?”
my friend: *responds with anything short of full-throttle enthusiam*
me:
Social anxiety is weird. I know I’m not bothering people by liking and reblogging from them, but at the same time, I can’t stop feeling like I’m definitely bothering them.
