I was at a get together at my uncles place and it was my cousins, 2nd cousins, their friends, and my uncles home owner.
When we got there this guy came up to me, I've never seen him before btw and we are not related. He was super sweet and I got to know him a bit he is about 4 years older than me so he was in his 20's but not as old as my sister.
Then his 2 friends show up both of them one of them looked super familiar but I don't know where I seen them before so while one was chatting with my older brother 2 of them were talking to me. They are also in their 20's one was 25 and the other was 21 21 ish.
It was about 50 degrees out so it was colder than normal but I was freezing my butt off becuase I forgot a jacket at home cus I was in a rush and all three of them offered to get me a jacket or gloves it was so sweet.
Then this other guy showed up for a second and started calling the boys by their nickname and one of them was "Little Sprinkle". Then we started talking about nicknames and I told him mine was "Butter hands" becuase I have no grip on my hands and he tensed me about that.
But yeah we got to know each other I mean they live in my neighborhood and they made plans with my brother to come to my place and challenge me to a Just Dance game and smash bros.
I was talking to the 25 year old preppy much until they left and we had a lot of common interest in games, shows, books, ect and we were going to play Pokémon together at some point.
It was fun I got to talk to people and now talking to new people isn't that bad after the first interaction.
Actually the guy who first came up to me was homeschooled for a while so we talked about that and how it made it hard for us to meet new people and how we were both trying to break out of the shell that formed when we were isolated.
It was nice talking to them, they feel like a bid brother to me honestly. They just have that vibe yk? But anyways I faced my fear of talking to men and it isn't that bad.
