Heyy! I was on a 2 day trip with my family friends and i returned today! I was nervous too. He's 1 year older than me. We know each other since soo many years, still this thing makes me nervous. I was actually kinda avoiding them at first, but i had to do it. There's no option left. I'm pretty sure i did many embarrassing things but it was great. If he's your friend, he's gonna understand it. I was avoiding conversations at first. But when i started it, i got confident. You know there's no way you can escape this, you just have to try. Just talk to him confidently. Talk about things he would actually enjoy. And don't avoid spending time with him, Don't avoiding conversations. These were things i did yesterday. I regret that so bad. Once we started hanging out again, everything got normal again. Just flow with the conversations. I can relate to you so much. But believe me, once you hang out for a while, everything's gonna be normal. I did this thing for 2 days.
