No, we're both doctoral students so we don't have that much time to spend with each other.

Despite being nervous around others, I can speak freely to strangers and people I have little to nothing in common with. When it comes to other graduate students/colleagues/people I would have a lot in common with I'm too terrified/intimidated by them to easily start or continue a conversation.

I would also get along better with men for friendships but I'm terrified and untrusting of men. My boyfriend was able to gain my trust but I don't see that happening with other men.
