For me it's not about rejection, it's being content with what I have. Also, if someone tried to pressure me into making friends like I'm a 10 year old I'd be pissed too.
IF on a humble I meet a woman and yes the vibes and her energy are good, of course I'd hang out with her. But to go out on a mission to seek new friends as an adult, is weird as fukk to me. Even if I do meet someone, I don't just make anyone a friend. An associate sure but I have a limited number of true friends and I'm cool with that.
I am an introvert but I strike up a conversations with strangers all the time. I just came back from the mall and I engaged with a lot of fellow shoppers and sales people. I'm also famous for complimenting random people on their hair, clothes etc.
I'm a content laid back person who doesn't need a lot of attention/constant interactions. My personality tends to attract people who do which cancels out any type of friendship from the jump lol. Some people like quantity, I prefer quality
i didnt put any pressure on her...a mere suggestion is not pressure.
for instance, lets say she came home and said "some girl on the subway was talking to me blah blah blah", i might ask at the end of the story, "did you get her number? maybe yall should connect further"
that isnt pressure.
if you move to a new country and dont put any effort into making new friends, thats just stupid. her inability to do so actually put a lot of strain on the relationship because she was so zeroed in and focused on me due to not having built any friendships on her own.
yall afraid of rejection / stepping out your comfort zone. I get it, when I was like 10 years old and moved to a new school I had the same issue
At some point you have to grow out of it and actually put effort into creating the life you want though, rather than just floating through it. And I am as introverted and laid back as they get
