Reach Out to that Friend Please
Briefly

I'm exhausted.I put so much effort into building connections, but it feels like a one-way street.I'm constantly initiating check-ins and conversations, yet rarely do others reach out to me.It's frustrating, but I understand that there are various reasons for this dynamic.I'm aware that social anxiety, awkwardness, and unhealthy behaviors like ghosting can contribute to mutual isolation.
