before the pandemic i was really bad at making friends, but i managed to have a friend group i could float around in during school, but i wasn’t really close to anyone. i haven’t seen any of these people since the pandemic started and school ended, and i’ve never texted them or invited them out because of my social anxiety, while everyone else in the group has continued to hang out and grow closer without me. i still want to be friends with them but idk how to reinsert myself into the group when school starts again after all this time apart. any suggestions?? and if it doesn’t work out any suggestions for making new friends?
