Do you typically initiate friendships, or do you just wait for people to talk to you?

I lowkey think that I need to start taking an aggressive approach.
I just treat people like we're already friends. Doesnt take long before I start getting invited places & then the relationship dissolves bc i keep cancelling. But you'll do great. Good luck.

I usually take the aggressive approach, fail, and then have [i]someone else[/i] reach out to me anyway.

Depends on the person, I kinda wait and then I realise i'm a loner by choice and I remember i don't have the energy for people. It takes so much going out and I'm just not a person who wants to go out all the time. I'm too chill tbh.

@Ryannnnnn I'm the same... sometimes certain friends from HS would use all my energy so I know what you mean..
I'm shy as fuck so I wait ,hi

You mean like start talking to people for the sole purpose of making friends?
SW-User
@SW-User Yep.

@SW-User That a bit weird. I talk to people if we click and become friends happy days.

If you dont click you dont click. You can try but if it doesnt feel right, just try another time or with someone else

I usually wait for people to talk to me, which is a terrible idea, seeing as it hasn't worked... ever, really.

@SW-User Same. I'm awkward af, but I think I can probably get some sort of courage to approach people? Maybe. 😬
[c=#359E00]i need to be more aggresive too, i'm too shy[/c]

@YukikoAmagi Same. But I literally won't ever have friends if I don't just talk to them and approach them. 😂 like, 80% of the people that talk to me are weird af.

I’m proactive online but I don’t initiate anything away from here.

I usually wait. Don't want to bother people.
Melpomene · 22-25, F
Both. If I initiate something it's usually "ehh, gotta say something so it wouldn't be so awkward" but most of the times people approach me first.
SW-User
I don't look for them. I'm happy with what I have. If someone wants to be friends, I'm open but it's not nessesary
SW-User
What is this friendship you speak of?
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
I go with the flow because I don't know who I am.
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
I tie them up and make them like me
HannahSky · F
They seem to organically happen.
CaptainKirk · 41-45, M
Yes, be aggressive with me
StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M
I almost always wait.

18-21, F, cute pic?..your inbox surely must be flooded
SW-User
@Bushmanoz Yeah, with weird people.
Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
@SW-User just let friendships develop organically with people you interact with in threads. it will happen

I'm just not very good at making friends IRL. It's a little easier on here, but if I waited for people to talk to me IRL, I would never get any friends. Or that's how it's mostly gone anyway. I prefer to wait for people to talk to me first because I always assume that they don't want me to talk to them in my head (or else they'd already have talked to me 🤪)
I appreciate those who have talked to me on here.
