With the more bratty prey its best to catch them by surprise~

This is not my usual type of post, but I think it necessary.
In the last few weeks, I’ve noticed (and others have confirmed as much) that I’ve become much more anxious about my friendships. Most especially, I’ve worried that I have been, have become, or actively am annoying, clingy, neurotic, or desperate.
It’s no surprise that I am a bit of a larger-than-life personality. I can be loud, boisterous, hyperfixated, etc. Growing up, I was NOT socially gifted and had only a few close friends. Suddenly I’m in circles where many people wish to interact with me, have me present, and so on. It’s a total inversion of my life’s narrative up to this point. I’m in unfamiliar territory.
Of the five major love languages (and let’s remember that love can be romantic, platonic, fraternal, etc.), I tend to place heavy emphasis on physical touch and quality time. There are select friends of mine with whom I am close and with whom I most often express those two love languages. I never want to take those people for granted or—God forbid—merely use them as means to the end of sating my personal need for some form of intimacy or external validation.
My biggest fear lately is that I won’t come off as genuine, but rather will instead come off as “desperate,” “clingy,” or “needy”—qualities that I don’t care to see in others and certainly do not wish myself to exude (or at least be perceived to exude). I fear that if I am “too much,” then I will chase away those people whose friendships I have enjoyed up to now, or worse yet, become or be perceived as pushy, weak, or pathetic.
There are some of you out there who absolutely are such people with whom I love spending a great deal of time. With all of this said, PLEASE tell me if I ever get to be too much and need to dial it back. I promise that I have gained much more self-awareness in recent years, but there’s still every chance that I may miss something. I will rely on your feedback to correct course if needed. I would rather not ruin the friendships that I have forged with the people about whom I care—and whom I love—so much.
Thank you.
Gonna trick you into helping me take some nice photos.
But in reality, i'm gonna eat you and digest you, and then later regurgitate your phone so i can take those photos.
After that i'll send it all to your friends and co workers, to show them how nicely you added to me~
