My brain seems to split al human beings into “friends” and “not-friends”; with friends being the people I am super confident like me, and not-fiends being literally anyone else. They could definitely like me - it’s just that system 1 wouldn’t be sure they do.
Friends are easy to be around. Friends aren’t mentally taxing to interact with. I don’t need to script to interact with friends. I don’t need to convince myself I have an “excuse” in order to go anywhere near them.
This is not true of anyone else. Be they strangers or classmates; if I’m not completely sure they like me, I can’t initiate any sort of contact without convincing myself that I have a good reason to.
Which is to say that my useless traitor of a brain won’t let me leave my room when my flatmates are about. Ugh.
