making new friends

[Gerianne]

we always remember the friends we meet as we live our lives.
For the most part anyway.
I looked my address book one time and there was on name I did not recall.
When I looked at the other entries of people I have known, I could remember where I met them

A classmate from high school looked me up when I was on Facebook. He told me that he defended me when I was being bullied. I did not remember him. My excuse? There were about 200 students in our school..... a sea of faces. You might remember the popular guy who played the lead in the yearly stage performance or the cheerleaders you saw at the football games.

yeah i had to do a lot of making new friends, i had some friends but they were just street aquaintances, its always jumping around for me, i still havent found a very niche

It takes me awhile to make friends, i just sort of sit back and take things in for awhile before i really get to know them. I think a lot of it is because we moved around so much as a kid. I went to 13 different schools and spent the last 3 in one school. So i was just a little standoffish . But  i did go to school with 4 of the students at a little country school before all went to high school. Also made a lot of great friends and we all still keep up with each other now.

I'm very selective about who I spend time with because I don't like people trying to play minds games with me.  Also, I enjoy spending time alone so I don't have a constant need to be with someone else.

i find it easier to have no friends. then nobody can stab you in the back

i am a pretty private person --i find to many friends makes you a sucker --i have just a few very close friends and the rest are just people i know --lot less drama --i mainly just stay home with my fur babies and life is good !

I have always had trouble making friends. I have some but it seems like we don't catch up like we once did. I do wish I had more friends.

[beatsdrop]

I'm quiet irl, so it can be hard to make friends. I wish I had more friends.

[natashaspy]

I've never tried to make a lot of "close" friends. I get along with pretty much everyone but not really a people liking person. I'd rather have a few close friends than dozens of aquintences

[oldbuddy]

I made a lot of friends on the Internet and some I get together with often for lunch and talk over what we are doing.

To be honest, I have a very difficult time in making friends (or socializing with anyone period). But not because of choice. I have just spent a very sheltered childhood and focused so much on school and work over the years that my social life has been stunted. I am NOW trying to develop a social circle. And it is indeed difficult. :-(

I have a number of acquaintances but very few true friends.  I feel it's better that way, at least for me.

I too am selective as to whom I hang around with and/or call friends. The main reason being is that people can pull you down to their level and/or bring added drama to your life.  I'm on bigger path nowadays and can't spend my time with people who aren't going nowhere in life.

[dogsleash]

its always good to make new friends and some times you domnt rememeber people or events .

I want new like minded friends. I plan to get out more this year- I've been saying that for a couple of years now but this year I actually will position myself to meet new people.
