I stopped blaming myself for my lonely friendships

I realized I wasn't letting anyone in and neither were my friends, we were just performing friendship

What I wish I knew
"That shared experiences create intimacy"
If I could tell you one thing
"Try doing stuff together, not just catching up over coffee"
