I'm constantly evaluating whether I'm being weird in social situations and adjusting accordingly (thanks adolescence), which ironically probably makes me come off even weirder. I wish just being straight up like "hey we're cool" or "nah, your vibes are fucked right now" was more common! I know my friends are cool with me, but try telling my limbic system that. Especially after 3 years of careful covid mitigation
I try especially hard as an amab nb but shit's hard out there. Like folks just don't open up as much with people perceived as men (for good and for ill). Again this is anxiety speaking, not logic. I've known most of these people for 10+ years! All the worry will be gone by tomorrow. Just if there's one takeaway: be kind, be open, and tell your friends you love them.
