I’ve been going to meets since last February, and while I’ve had some fun and made a couple of friends (mostly just online), I still feel so out of place at meets.

Nobody ever asks me for a hug or photo, and my suit looks shit.

I just wish that I was more confident and actually could try and make irl friends.

Doesn’t help that I’m 17, which causes me a bit of anxiety because I feel like people won’t want to talk to me because of it.
