how do I turn acquaintances into actual friends?
I (19M) started my first semester of community college August 24; this was after years of isolation and passivity that pretty much defined my mid to late adolescence, and led to me experiencing chronic loneliness throughout high school. Since I started attending, I've genuinely become much more comfortable with starting conversations, approaching people, exchanging Instagrams, and overall acting against my tendency to wait for people to come to me---I've even developed little acquaintances here and there. But lately, I noticed that I haven't gotten a single text from anyone I've talked to in over two days, and to me it feels like what we had been building has been slipping
Do I keep trying to meet new people? How do I know the difference between a fading connection vs. normal gaps in communication? How do I develop my friendships beyond a classroom? How can I foster the connections I already have further? Am I doing something wrong here?
