I've always been an introvert and I like spending time on my own, but lately I have been missing the company of other people. I have friends and acquaintances, but these relationships are very casual – we see each other every now and then, but I wouldn't call them in the middle of the night, or text them just to vent after a hard day, if you know what I mean?
I would like to cultivate these casual friendships into real friendships, but my friends don't seem very interested in doing so. I'm usually the one to reach out, and I honestly think I like them more than they like me. It's not like they're bad friends or bad people, but I'm just not that high on their priority list. We're all in our mid- to late twenties, people have busy lives and other friends that they've known longer and are closer with. I'm not part of any particular friend group, but I'd love to have friends over every now and then just to chat over a cup of tea or hang out. Is it weird if I just invite them over out of the blue? Do I need an excuse or a reason to do it? I'm afraid of being rejected.
TL;DR: I, an introvert (25F), would like to be closer to my friends, but they're not showing much interest.
