Asking a coworker to hang out outside of work

So I want to ask a coworker of mine to hang outside of work because I have like no friends and I enjoy talking to her a lot, and I think we'd make good friends. we're both LGBTQ and have similar interests. but I'm so afraid of rejection and her secretly hating me and making the work environment so weird. I hate making friends. can anyone relate?

I really relate to that. Its scary always thinking that you'll be rejected but thinking about it only makes it worse. I think you should definitely ask to hang out and get to know eachother better!

this is so valid. what’s something in common that you both like to do? maybe you can casually throw it out in a conversation and see if she responds positively to it.

id definitely try that route first. Or ask if they’d be interested in grabbing cup of coffee or going for a hike or something to talk about something you both are interested in.
