The real pain is when you meet them and they turn out to be the wrong person for you.

Trying to. It’s hard because I’m super lonely and want to connect with people. But it’s still really new here and not a lot of users are here yet.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•DAE Feel the Urge to Connect with an Old Friend Again but at the Same Time Feel Afraid/Relunctant?
4·3 years agoI think about doing this all the time and I have the exact same fear.
The friends I knew managed to do so much with their lives over the years. By comparison, I feel like I’m stuck in the exact same place I was in years ago.
Whenever I think about reaching out, I think about that moment. The one where they ask how I’ve been doing or what I’ve been up to.
I don’t even know where I’d start or what I’d say. Just the thought of it alone is enough to make me extremely anxious.
I think I’d rather eat actual dirt than face the embarrassment of letting them see how I turned out.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a simple thing others do that gets you in a really good mood?
27·3 years agoA compliment. They don’t come often but when they do, they make my whole month.
I really like Lemmy so far even though it isn’t perfect yet. Adding a 3rd party app will make using this even easier.

Holy shit I’ve had this before and thought I was going crazy. Glad to to know it’s not just me
