I got screamed at by someone’s mom because I walked over to their house every day to ask if they could play outside with me. I’m just now realizing I don’t ask people to hang out. I’m 33.

soooo why we don't have many friends I think. never have anything to do with anyone either. either I host a party (at my house - which is not happening right now) or set something up for all the people, or I don't do anything.

Yes! Oh my god. I grew up with that and now I battle the fear that people just want nothing to do with me unless explicitly stated. What a joy.

I’m like a vampire now. If I wasn’t specifically told “you are invited” or some similar phrase, I assume I am not welcomed lol

I want to hang out with anyone so badly. anytime I work up courage to ask either everyone is busy or everyone cancels last min (like day of). So yeah I just sit at home being starved for interaction. if I'm lucky to get invited I fear I'm come off as too excited.

It’s a two way sword. If you’re asking people if they’re free then you’re inviting them. If they ask if you’re free they’re inviting you. But people tend to add you can come if you want instead of I want you to come so it feels like they felt forced to invite you/ other way around. If you’re always getting asked to join then they’ll feel like you don’t want to hang with them. If you’re always asking them to hang it feels like they don’t want to hang with you. Rsd makes it really hard to make plans

I’m somewhere in the middle with this. I have no problem asking people if they wanna hang out, but I never ask if I can join when I know someone is planning some kind of social event or hanging out with other friends since it makes me feel like I’m inserting myself in a situation where I’m not welcome.

To be fair, on my last day of PT, my doc told me FIVE times that he and some of the other workers are going to a specific bar at a specific time and that it was going to be super casual. It was not casual. It was a surprise party for someone I didn’t know. I still cry about how embarrassed I was. Five times directly to me. Ugh.

🙋🏻♂️this is me! Because of this I’ve had to be clear with my kids about this. I tell them not to invite themselves to something, but it’s ok to ask them if they can go. It’s also totally ok for them to reach out when they want to do something to see what they are up to. Don’t want them to be the isolated weirdo I am now

not exactly but i would ask my "friends" if they wanted to hang out all the time and they would always say "maybe" or that they were "busy" just to find them on IG all hanging out without me so now i'm terrified to be vulnerable with anyone anymore 🥰

Or that you had to have an activity suggestion/plan first. As an adult like… can we go to the bank and grocery store together? Clean out a closet? That’s helpful and better together!

burakkucherrie :
Yup—I’m still working through this—I have trouble also asking people to hang out with me because well—everyone is an adult now and have a lot going on in their lives and it’s tough. Also most of the friends I do spend that quality time with are all living far away at the moment. Sigh…..

I grew up like that and went the polar opposite way. "I am doing this and wanted to personally invite you, name, to join me." gets a bit obnoxious but I don't ever want someone to feel like they're excluded

Yes, but my favorite was if my mom found out my friend was doing something with a different friend, she'd make sure to let me know it meant they hated me and were never a "true friend" to begin with...
