Me making friends as an adult:
In my mind –
I really enjoy talking to this person! She’s funny and genuine and we seem to have stuff in common. I’d love to get to know her better, maybe we can hang out more. What is something thoughtful I can say that may connect us?
In real life –
-stands too close to the person of interest and spits a little as I talk –
MY CAT IS GREY, SHE BARFED ON THE CARPET. Where did you get your shoes. SQUIRRELS ATE MY CHICKENS’ FOOD.
