I feel like that I creeped my friend out by coming on too strong. I realized that we're not that close, but I truly care for them. I sometimes like to introduce them to my other friends, and they're not interested. I like to tell them about my life, but I feel like oversharing. I like to be silly, but I feel like being annoying. I try to connect them with my interests or their interests, but I feel like I am selling something to them. Like for example, I tried to ask what's their favorite genre of games to have a good conversation with them, and they think I am using them as a market research, because well I talked about how I want to make games, but hey, isn't it normal to ask for friend's opinions? I don't know. I feel like he rejects my kindness and friendliness

Thanks everyone for the comments. I think yeah, I might have been trying too hard to be their friend, when they don't feel the same way. Maybe I am just in denial, that I can't be their friend, and letting go of attachments to them

Hi, I have been studying German seriously for about 5 months, but still don't feel like good enough at it. I can speak daily conversations, but that's it. I mostly learn from watching YouTube, read simple German news, and role playing with chat GPT. I am not very good at memorizing things, so to remember new vocabularies, I do repetition by making a sentence with it, and not by flash card, which is bad because I sometimes don't know their past/past participle forms of them. I don't know, I guess I am asking for advice and a bit of venting. What resources would you recommend? And how to deal with this? I am currently A2 - B1 level. My grammar is quite good for my level, but probably need more resources to learn more advanced grammar
