DAE Feel the Urge to Connect with an Old Friend Again but at the Same Time Feel Afraid/Relunctant? What do you do in these cases?

Sometimes an old friend randomly pops up in my mind and the thought of catching up with them feels good. But at the same time it feels overwhelming, like I'm stepping out of bounds of some sorts.

Side Note: I'm using Jerboa for Lemmy and I'm not able to do text posts, hence the gorgeous Across the Spider-Verse image. How do I do a text post?

Think about the reasons behind your feelings. If it is shyness and some anxiety around the social aspect of it, that's one thing. If there is a deeper reason why you might feel uncomfortable with these people or why they might reject you, that's something else to acknowledge. Good luck.
