That is annoying.

I agree with you.

I totally agree.

It's an excuse, but you need new friends, right?

That's an excuse and a need.

It's an excuse that you're using not to go, but you need new friends.

Yes.

So what I'm noticing, and I don't know if you're picking up on this as you're listening or watching, is that the excuses are a lot about how you feel.

Every time you've said need...

It's typically been because you're recognizing that the people that you're about to go see are not really supportive and that that is triggering something deeper, which is the need is to recognize that you've got to put time and energy into building supportive relationships.

And maybe the people that you're about to go see are not truly a match for where you are right now.

And that's okay.

Interesting.

And here's what I want to say if that's happening to you.

First of all, I'm proud of you for getting out there.

And that's not a fun thing to feel.

Our son has felt that like the first year and a half at college.

It's not fun to feel like you're putting yourself out there and you're putting yourself out there, but you're not finding people that you truly connect with.

And what's important though, is that the more you put yourself out there,

the more likely you are going to meet people.
