When I say keep it casual while socialising,
You can also imagine it like being in college.
In college, we have our own group of close circle whom we love unconditionally.
But we also socialise with others and say hi and talk casually. Share whatever we are comfortable sharing.
We care and love about everyone from a distance.
We care about their well being and we will cry when something happens to them and we stand up for them.
We lift each other up.
But we don’t have any crazy expectations from everyone.
We know our boundaries and give them space.
Because at the end of the day we come home to our group of close circle and we are attached to our group.
We share our dreams, secrets, day to day life and insecurities with our group.
This is how you should see it. This is the best analogy I can think of.
