I have a few close friends. Unfortunately, one of my close friends moved far away. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a couple of more close friends, but other times I need space. It really depends on my mood. But I am most definitely an introvert and fine with only meeting up every now and then. I'm not even dating right now, because it feels too smothering. Eventually, I will come out of my shell a little bit, but then I tend to shut down all over again. I often feel I do not fit in and do not like group interactions that much. When I meet someone who I really connect with, I value it a ton though, because I feel misunderstood a lot.
