Curious to see if this is a âmeâ thing or not. so does anyone else when they make a new mate become like low key obsessed for a bit? or not obsessed but like, the social anxiety just dial up a couple of notches? just for like the first couple of days of the proper mateship. Then it always settles down. Like every time your phone buzzes your like âOh, I hope its X personâ. and when they take a bit to reply you go âOh, did I message them too many times? did I say something weird?â when you know theyâre probs just busy.

For sure man. I donât really have family so friendships are really important to me. I defs get all in my head about it when Iâm connecting with someone new
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
same boat hey, makes friendships so much more important.

Exactly man. Itâs hard to explain to people who donât know what itâs like.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
ABSOLUTELY! people think your intense. And its hard to explain to someone âNo, I just feel more strongly about you than you probs do about meâ. Still stings when they kind of prove that though hey.

Iâm a slow boil. Iâll be interacting with someone for ages before I suddenly realise one day theyâve made the move from acquaintance to friend.
So, no. For me itâs more a sudden realisation after a bit. Iâm reminded somewhat of the way my wife and I started dating here.

Not just a you thing. Made a couple of good mates from my gym and texting anxiety was through the roof. Turns out they felt the same.

making mates as an adult is HARD hey
