So I'm finding myself in this weird place. I moved here when my husband and I got married and so he was basically the only person I knew here. And I find myself having a slightly difficult time trying to make real friends instead of just acquaintances, because I don't want to be THAT person. You know who I mean. The person that a well meaning person befriends so that person isn't feeling lonely and overwhelmed, but then it bites them in the butt when that person turns into the clingiest person they know. That is so annoying. I know, because I've done that. But now that I'm the odd duck out, I worry that I'll be perceived that way because I'm so socially awkward sometimes that I can't tell if you're just being nice to me and humoring me or if you actually enjoy my company.Bah! You would think that at almost 23 years old I'd be able to figure out how to make friends! haha! It's ok though, I have my hubby and my minion and my friends from back home that I can call. Oh, and I do have someone that I'm starting to feel more comfortable around as a friend instead of some random acquaintance of mine! :)
So for those of you who are befriending someone who is in the same boat as me, make it easy for them to figure it out. Call them , text them, email, whatever, just make it obvious that you enjoy their company more than just when you happen to be in the same room together! It really helps!
