I made a friend
Guys this is crazy. On my way home from uni this random guy pulled me up and asked if we met somewhere before. Honestly, i do not know this guy. Usually, when this happens, i just simply ignore or say that they got the wrong person, as my face is actually really common (i have 3 other people who have the same exact face as mine). But since i have like 30 minutes to spare i decided to humor him and help him by mentioning some possibilities of where we met.
After some struggling, we reached the conclusion that this person who i thought was just a random guy just a few minutes ago was actually in the same class as mine and like 2 weeks ago sat 2 seats away from me. The class could be said as random as almost everyone in that class are from different major. 2 weeks ago, i was wearing the same exact sweater i wear today. Crazy, i know. Tomorrow is the class, so i asked him how his work doing, and the long 30-minute conversation spiraled from there.
Honestly, it was really fun. The conversation flow smoothly, as if we were actually a good friends but in actuality we were strangers few minutes prior. I'd never thought that by giving someone a chance like this i would make a new friend. I would not make a new friend if i ignore him. It may seem obvious, but somehow this is a crazy realization for me. Because almost all my life, i feel like i am the one reaching out first to make friends, but now i realized that maybe i just never make an effort to give others a chance to befriend me.
This also made me re-realizing that talking with friends is fun. The extrovert in me was healed immensely just by that 30 minute conversation. Recently, the friends i talked with makes me somewhat feel uneasy. The friend i like to hang out with is from the other class, so we can't talk much because our difference in schedules. And the online friends i made doesn't feel enough for some reason. Talking to friends online is still fun, though. But i fail to realize that friends in real life is also fun.
Talking with friends is fun. I wonder when do i start to think that it is not fun, and started to stop trying to make friends in real life. I hope to make more friends in the future.
