I really appreciate having friends. Friends are the people that make you laugh until you cry, give you advice, and hang out with you when you're missing their presence. I don't have a ton of friends; I have a lot of acquaintances though. I love them as well. But my friends have shown me that they care about me enough to let me tag along on this thing called life. My friends know a lot about me, but I want to let them know, and anyone else who would like to be my friend, some things I think are important to know about me as a friend.
Please remember that I am an introvert. Sometimes, I love to talk and make plans to do things. Other times (honestly, most of the time), I am way more comfortable doing my own thing. I don't always have the strength to be socially active. I promise if I don't answer your call or I tell you that I can't hang out, I still love you! It can sometimes be a little overwhelming to constantly interact with people. The crazy thing is that I experience a lot of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). So even if I tell you that I cannot hang out, I might see you on Snapchat with other friends, and I get a little jealous. Being an introvert is weird.
Giving advice is not one of my strengths. I like to think that I am pretty empathetic. I want to be there for you whenever you're going through a tough time. However, I suck at giving advice. The only advice I ever give is to try to stay positive. After that, I have no idea what else to say. So if you come to me while in a bad place, I will 100% be there for you! I am just better at being there for you than telling you what you should do to make a situation better.
Something I am working on as a person is pushing myself to ask questions. The most simple questions can sometimes be really hard for me to ask. As your friend, I want to make memories and take pictures to remember them. I feel like I have zero pictures with my friends because I'm too nervous to ask. I think that my friends may not want to take pictures with me (I don't know why). So if we're doing something and I ask if we can take pictures, please indulge my request! Or maybe just ask me if I want to take a picture; I promise, I will always be down.
These things are kind of random, but I think they are important to know about me. I love being a friend, and I always want to make my relationships better. I think that if you know more about your friend, you'll be able to love them in the way they need most.
