Well - you seem to like BirdNerd too. Friend zone for a decent while is sensible and it's you being your own best friend. So, worry about just having fun the introverted way! Stay present and no future thinking beyond your next outing. If ya need an example - B and I were friends for 5-6 years before we even had a face to face experience. And when we couldn't stop talking to each other... we both knew we weren't imagining things. I kicked sensibility to the curb at that point.

And our relationship has grown - but the majority of our interaction is still what the kidz call "friend zone". Despite all the intimate conversational sharing that's gone on. That's 4-5 years now. Things are shifting into other realms - and it's FUN.
Success is never final, failure is never fatal.

Ahh...Hopsy.  Shame sucks.  Guilt too. 

You're a fine human. 

Shame is more counterproductive than anything.  Accomplishes nothing, except further paralysis, and guilt heaped on top of shame heaped on top of....
you get the picture.

I've found myself voicing dismissal of shame/guilt/unkind thoughts about myself/housekeeping/clutter blindness.  It helps shut the spiral down, and open up choice/possibility/getting one thing done/rolling into another, instead.

Or simply embracing the womb, and all it's comforts, wholeheartedly.

Relax.
Breathe.
Make an appointment.

Things go so quickly with help, IME.

Creating clear sunny space feeeeels so good, but it's requires a plan in my case.  Maybe yours too.
