Best way to get kiddo to stop hitting/kicking?
21 month old/almost 2 yr old hitting and kicking other children only when they're in our home and hits and kicks our new Chihuahua. I did go through a miscarriage so he might just be acting out his feelings but I don't know what to do.

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?

Got rejected on 1st meeting: kind of confused but overall okay with the situation.
TLDR: post 1st meeting rejection just has me in my feels a bit more than usual. Rejection happens to us all. My heads still thinking about it a little bit. No hard feelings. It’s better she was upfront about it. Their is no villain here just a regular life experience.
Recently got turned down to pursue our 1st official date after a fun 1st live show meeting we were able to have. Like the title says I’m pretty okay about the situation but I won’t lie it did suck a little. She was actually one of the 1st to have me thinking of myself as a husband. For context marriage isn’t high on my list but my family is full of healthy examples. So I’m not anti marriage. I arranged with her approval for her to join me at a live show in my city. I had 2 friends already coming. We had a blast. The show was Rocky horror picture show if you’re familiar with it. I wasn’t in full date mode because she needed time to bond with me and do some life stuff. I do find myself overthinking my actions, but after a rejection is respectfully communicated it’s best to let it go. I have had some trouble doing that. It happened yesterday tho. It’s still a little fresh on my mind. I hold no frustration towards her. She had her reasons which I don’t fully understand but I appreciate her being up upfront about. I’m really only posting because this is the closest I’ve gotten to meeting someone I saw myself as a husband too. Which I admit was very nice to experience that. Somewhere along the way I did something she was not a fan of. Thinking back she felt off and distant to me at the car park entrance. She definitely knew then. We live and learn so I’ll get back out there and try again.
