like in making friends, i can make like friends to say hey and small talk with at school and church. but i want to take it to the next level, like hanging out outside of church/school. maybe have some sleepovers with the girls or just going to the movies. i think the biggest thing holding me back is my fear to ask or my fear to have a closer connection. but how do i know they want to be closer friends, and how do i make them interested. at a certain point of closeness, i think i push people away or find someone new[someone in my eyes who are better] i don't want to push people away anymore, and i relly want some good girl friends. it would be alot better to be with them than be by myself at home on the weekends or holidays. i am scared of rejection, and i care too much about my dignity. some people already think im a little "strange". i just want some wise advice and sorry for wonndering in my writing, i just wrote what came to mind.
