I find it hard to really express or engage with people sometimes, though it depends on context. I usually will purposefully look out for people who interest me, otherwise I am content with those I have in my inner circle. The events of 2022 have taught me to keep that inner circle quite limited, but it is never entirely closed to new people.
Usually with people, I keep myself to people who will reciprocate what I am seeking with. I've interacted with hundreds of people over the years. I've cycled through dozens of people, through many groups, servers, and forums, yet this is the only one that has ever outlasted anything else.
It's the only one that's left. And you know what? I'm perfectly fine with that.
