I almost made a friend. They stopped me after class and said they liked my vibe, but I fawn-responsed and couldn’t think of anything other than “thank you!” 😬 Next time, I’ll try to remember to ask her name and start a conversation. 😁 - ThreadSky

So many missed opportunities. Realizing an hour too late that someone was trying to be friendly sucks.

Ugh ok last semester a classmate gushed that they thought I was cool and I was not prepared. I would like to text them (because we traded numbers) but I don’t know how to do conversations sometimes as currently the last text I sent in December is still on read eek.

It’s so hard. My kid told me that if people think you’re cool they’re probably also a little intimidated. Which is to say, they probably need reassurance that you think they’re cool, too.

I don’t know if that helps or not.

Its good advice tho, ppl love talking about themselves and getting earnest (and at least slightly accurate) compliments.
