pretty cliche but when I was in my senior year of high school I drew these small characters with a little note beside them saying how cool I found the person I was giving them to. I gave them/ discreetly put it in their stuff for them to find. I ended up talking with this one guy who I gave the note to and he was really really cool, at least to me anyway
it was too bad that I hadn’t done it earlier, we would have been good friends
but uh, maybe that may help if you’re really shy? It helps to make your intentions known, that you want to be their friend. From there on you just gotta keep on talking to them, maybe exchange numbers or something
another thing to try is joining clubs you have actual interest in and talking to the people there
it's scary yes but they're at the club for a probably similar reason to you and you can talk about that
it's how I made friends in theatre and pride club actually lol
oh! and compliment people!! or give them small things (I gave people origami animals and wrote that I thought they were cool)
it helps with first impressioms and gives you something small to talk about too

Yes, like Max said I am doing better. Was in the psych hospital for about a week after a bad fight with my dad and trying to kill myself. Was kicked out of my house while there, but they did let me come back when they saw the conditions I would have to be living in at the transitional home and realized it was in the area my dad grew up, saying that I wouldn't be safe there. I'm not necessarily safe at home at the moment, but I did get officially diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder, and am going back today for a follow-up. Going to be getting therapy both individually and for the family, because when we try to talk it out together it just goes in the same circles as always despite me proving my points.

I be in pain all the time my guy
Yo Swim, I'm so sorry all that's been happening. I'm so proud and glad that you're displaying so much resilience though. I hope therapy and everything goes well. You deserve the best.
Swim I'm so sorry, that sounds awful. I hope therapy goes well, you deserve so much better than this
Thanks you guys. Honestly, I had a therapy session today as a check in after my stay, and it went pretty well even with my mom in the room. Hopefully my insurance covers more

Oh I feel that. I spent two months in an alergic reaction on top of my other issues when I first started working. It was Rough
I'm glad your therapy session went well, Swim. I'm glad you might be able to get family therapy too, that has the potential of helping a lot!
We all love you and we're here to support you dude, I hope this ends up working out well
Aha soooooo I think I might be breaking up with my partner
At this point I feel like they love me so much more than I love them. I do what I can to be a good partner but I feel like im failing. I’m a different person than when we started dating. I’m not the good partner that they deserve and I feel so guilty and terrible. They deserve someone better than me.
Nvm y’all I’m literally just on my period and having mood swings XD
I really went from the pits of depression for a solid TWO HOURS to then suddenly being like “jk lol”
I was at a Christmas party (Didn't want to go but it was worth it cause I got a salt lamp out of it) but I realized that I had a PSA due tomorrow and I hadn't started so I ended up drawing like 95% of it there and figured out how to use IMovie while there and was like "I'll have to do voiceovers at home" but one guy was like "SHUT UP! THE QUIET GIRL HAS TO DO A VOICEOVER FOR HER FINAL" and the whole room got silent and listen to my voiceover about depression and when I was done the room exploded in applause and it was a little awkward after because people kept asking about it. But I got it in so that was good
