my ability to show excitement for friends going on dates/having romantic times has been all fucked up lately.
i've managed to hide my own history of forever alone-ness, and most of my current friends have no idea that i've never dated or had sex. they mostly just think i'm private about that stuff. my well-adjusted and normal act is really fab now.
but lately whenever someone mentions dating, i just have a pause as my brain tries to bring up all the loneliness and "oh god what is wrong with me". i am genuinely happy for my friends even if i am kinda jealous. i gotta get better at covering this shit up, i think they're starting to notice my glitches. :(
i am slightly wary about that because i have had friends where i admitted before and they just got really awkward and just told me "oh it'll happen" then didn't wanna talk about it anymore.
but most of my current friends are a little more sensitive and have experience with mi issues. i should prob try again. :\
there are ways to get the ball rolling without telling everything, you can just be like 'hey, i noticed you're meeting a ton of great guys/girls, and it's just i'm so busy with (blah) that i've been a bit behind with meeting people. what are your secrets' or something like that
friends worth having want to see you happy and would love to help you out
