I could use some encouragement. 

I sometimes have a hard time believing that people like me and want to hang out with me, and it's pretty hard lately since I'm working 6 days a week and can't stay up very late. I feel like :metaph: has a lot of good friends, and some of his friends I can tell like me well enough, but I feel like the people who want to hang out with him don't necessarily want to hang out with me or talk to me or only tolerate my presence as his wife.

I also know that reaching out is hard for a lot of people, and reaching out first isn't always very affirming. I have the same problem a lot of people here do in that I feel like people don't want to talk to me if they don't message me when it would probably help if I show the initiative and message first more often myself.

Anyway, I could use a little encouragement if you're my husband's friend but maybe don't know me very well. Is it okay if I come around more often to the things that he does? Would you want to hang out with me too, or is it just okay that I'm there?

@Phoenix_Borealis Would definitely love to see you more often, you're a fun person!

@Zauberin

A! Thank you, Zauberin! :dragnheart: I still think about that one time I jumped into VR with you. You were the first person I hung out with without my husband being there, and I was glad to be able to spend the time with you.

@Phoenix_Borealis Aye, I remember that! We hung out at that one steampunk cafe world :3
