Glad to have you post here on Psych Central, detour1. Glad you are joining us here. There are lots of compassionate people here that can make the load lighter by sharing and caring. It is good to have friends but sometimes people think different things about what friends mean. It is good to know what limits you want with friends and make sure the other person knows and agrees. Of course you can't just bring this out all at once but over time you can bring up this in pieces. If you have a good relationship with family they may be can give you a reality check on how good this relationship is for you.

Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com

Great post!

My friends are people who are likeminded just like me.

Those that act with honest intent at all times.

My friends aren't perfect.

I make mistakes too.

Detour1, folks here are pretty accepting of others. I would hope no one here would judge you.

From what you posted it sounds like you and this other person are developing a friendship. How do you define friendship? does your relationship with this person meet that definition?

Hi yes it does but I would like ask him to hang out with him outside of school but I am kind of nervous and hopeless that he won't want to hang out with me

is this feeling telling me I should not ask him

Detour1, this can be hard, but you'll never know if he would hang out with you if you don't ask. Maybe have a specific plan rather than just asking about "hanging out"?

What makes you think he'll say no?

If he is quiet and shy he might be waiting for you to ask because he is too shy to ask you.

The very worst that can happen if you ask is that he says "no". That would be disappointing, but not the end of the world.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
