I want to get better at meeting people.
This desire has become a bit of a common trend between some of my closest friends. We mostly acknowledge that we love the friends we have, but that it would be nice to expand our circle a bit.
I’m worried that I come off as unapproachable at times. I’ve always been “the initiator” in many situations, whether it be conversation, friendship, sex, whatever. Maybe that’s not because I’m better at small talk but because I’m a hard person to approach. I don’t know exactly if that’s the case, but I think it could hinder my ability to meet new people.
It’s the beginning of sophomore year, and I love the friends I have. And I want them to continue to be my best friends. But I know that there are people at this university and in this city whom I’m missing out on.
