Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep waiting to "meet the right people" but honestly my days are built so I barely cross paths with anyone new the same way twice
- I walk into conversations preoccupied with how I’m coming across
- I bounce around to a different café or gym every time, always chasing somewhere new, and I never become a familiar face anywhere
- There’s someone I really admire and want to reach out to, and the thought of sending a cold "can we connect?" makes me cringe because it screams stranger-with-an-ask
- I’ve noticed all my friends come from the same narrow slice of my life
