I was invited to the home of the boy I like to drink and meet his friends. I drove all the way out there and sat in my car in front of his house for 20 minutes. Then I got out and went up to the door, heard voices, and turned around and went back to my car. I sat in my car for 25 minutes, then I felt like I was going to do an ugly cry, so I drove several blocks away, parked in front of a stranger's house, and sat there for 30 minutes before sending him a text to tell him I probably wasn't going to make it. Then I drove home, and now I'm here, and I feel like I've been hit by a bus.
It's so hard to get him to hang out with me that I already feel like he only does it begrudgingly, and today was a pity invitation because he cancelled plans with me for the sixth consecutive time. I'm pretty sure it's because I am exactly this kind of person: who overthinks things, and gets anxious and uncomfortable, and from there is just not someone who is enjoyable to be around. And my fear that I am that person caused me to behave exactly like that person.
Now I'm sitting at home in limbo, wanting to be brave and sociable, but also feeling like I've gone done ****ed it, and that this somehow proves that we are not, nor can we be friends or more, because to this date I have sabotaged literally every opportunity I have had for myself.
Why can't I just be a normal person and have a normal relationship, friendship or otherwise? I suck. God dammit.
