I’ve had an extremely social life.
I’ve spoken to and texted countless people.
But very few people whom I’ve connected with.
Very few friends.
I don’t use the word friend loosely.
I have a close-knit circle.
People in my close circle are in my close circle for a reason.
I’m happy and content with my life.
Just because someone is a creepy fan and desperate to be my friend.
I cannot comply.
I’m not interested.
A friend is a valuable word.
It requires connection, rapport, trust, safety, shared experiences, actions that align with words, respect.
Etc.
Trying to be friends with someone and actually being friends.
Are two different things.
Just because I was regular to that restaurant.
It is not an invitation for the staff to encroach on my personal space and boundaries.
And force friendship and force conversation with me.
This is not a college party for her to approach me because I’m a familiar face.
When someone is saying NO.
And drawing a clear verbal non-verbal boundary.
You are supposed to stay away.
No means No.
No is a full sentence.
I take absolutely no responsibility for someone else’s insecurities and projections.
A couple of people have approached me in 2023 and 2024.
And tried to initiate conversation.
When I said I’m not interested.
They left me alone.
I’m not biased towards anyone.
I’m just not interested.
