How do you develop actual friendships from acquaintances?
As the title suggests, I am awful at making friends. I (23F) don’t really have many, and the ones I do have are more close acquaintances/very casual friends than people I consider myself genuinely close with.
The thing is, I am okay socially. People describe me as seeming confident, people describe me as being approachable and reasonably chatty, and that I come across as friendly and nice when interacting with people. People are surprised when I tell them I was painfully shy and borderline selectively mute growing up. I would say at work, while I’m not SUPER popular and well-loved, I am not unpopular either. I don’t really have issues with getting along with people. However I am TERRIBLE at building actual friendships. I don’t know why. I don’t know how. It feels like a mystery to me that I am excluded from. Basically, I’m asking how do you develop actual friendships from acquaintances?
