A check on reading loneliness as a signal and sending one reachable bid for contact.
About this test
Repair attempts (Gottman) and clear interpersonal requests (the interpersonal-effectiveness side of Linehan's skills) are the research neighbors. A relationship test here asks whether you came back to the conversation, named the request, or reached once while lonely. The percent is the skill, not a verdict on the relationship. Loneliness as a felt gap has its own reflection test.

They say yes to coffee. What preparation makes it easier to walk in?
They cannot make the walk. What keeps the reach skill alive anyway?
The first note is a poor place for which move?
People feel far, and a group shares an interest of yours. How can that group count as a reach?
You want contact that does not depend on a fresh burst of courage. What structure helps?
You sent the note and there is no reply by evening. What keeps the wait from spiraling?
