friendship

If you want to make acquaintances, live life as you normally would. But if you want to make meaningful friendships, you have to be intentional.

I’m a fairly shy person. In a crowded setting, I stand by myself wanting to talk to people, but not knowing how. In small groups or one-on-ones, I get awkward about long silences but don’t know what to say.

It’s not easy for me to make friendships. But I know I need them. I need to invest in people and I need people investing in me.
