Okay, so, I need a little help again. This week has just been awful, and I've been having difficulty... Today was finally a good day, but now it's getting a little... Bad again.

I haven't talked with anyone from my college outside of class yet. There is this one girl, though, that hinted (at least, it seemed to me like she hinted) that she wanted me to talk with her sometime outside of class. So tonight, after watching The Big Bang Theory, I remembered her commenting on my laptop background and so I texted her, and asked her if she saw the show tonight.

So from there, we ended up texting for like, an hour and a half, just talking about random things. Which is really nice for me, because I don't have many real friends. I have one, who I rarely see, and another who I don't see at all. I'm a bit of a recluse.

So I got really excited at the prospect of making a new friend.

But, my paranoia is coming back again. It hasn't been back in awhile, and I'm thinking it's just a bad day, but I am still not sure how to cope with this.

I feel like she got bored talking to me, or she was just pretending to be interested so she wouldn't be rude, or that she won't text me back or that she was getting annoyed with me for texting her.

I was originally going to bed, so I told her I had fun talking with her and if she wanted, she could text me any time she wanted. But I still feel like what I mentioned above.

For those who have paranoia, how do you cope with the thoughts?

i think (as simple as it sounds) the best way to look at this situation is to see how it unfolds... yeah, i know it's not easy- but try thinking of it like this:
you can only try your best talking to her... if she's not interested, or bored, then it's not your fault... you're doing what you can

from last night though, it does sound like she really enjoyed talking to you too

the key is (or i've found anyway) is if someone's trying to avoid you or getting bored, they take a long time to reply- reply with short, boring messages, or totally change the subject on their next message.

i hope you 2 can become friends.. and even if not, it's really not the end of the world

good luck to you

Thank you. She sent decent replies, so I think she might have been interested and she replied fast enough. Though, towards the end, her replies started getting shorter... Which is what worried me, I think.

But it would be nice to become friends with her. We have some similar likes, so I'm just paranoid. Since I"m not good at making friends.

She may have just been getting tired.
