the thing is that the least attractive quality in someone is desperation. It's something that people are very good at smelling on someone and instinctively recoil from. I, however, can't make myself less desperate. The only way to get people to like you is to earnestly not be desperate. No amount of false confidence works. so idk how to make friends. I have to let it happen but also show interest and not seem desperate despite being desperate and on the verge of collapse, and I'm so fucking sensitive to everything right now I just can't.
