It's amusing to see how your friend retreats into his/her shell when introduced to your other friends. They speak in a smaller voice and move with a hint of uncertainty. More often than not they'll be on their phones scrolling through irrelevant things like social media feeds or photo galleries just to avoid eye contact.
Even stranger when I think back to how I first met them and realize they used to act like this around me, when someone else introduced us to each other. Didn't seem like a big deal and while we were friendly towards each other, it was little more than being affable.
But witnessing it today made me realize how comfortable he/she is with me so much so that they don't have their guards up. Makes me feel... Special? Like the connection is real and it's sincere and the person I interact with is who they really are. And I'm so blessed to get the chance to know this person and appreciate his/her experiences and life.
Little things like this amazes me and it really makes my day.
