Another question for those who say they don't have many friends. Why do you think that is?


I'm not very friendly most of the time. And I move around alot.


Why aren't you very friendly?

Hmm...I'm just naturally not a sociable person. I've grown used to being alone now, through how things have turned out. I can't say that there's one person I know and talk to that I've known for longer than...2 years? And so I find other people to be...a hassle, I guess. But it doesn't mean I don't want friends. If that makes sense. Ramble, ramble, ramble...

I dont know. I just dont find people that want to do more than just the 'fun' stuff. I dont find people I feel would be around when things werent somehow stimulating, exciting, or fun for them.

I make plenty of the acquaintances that are all about a 'good time' though.

Social networkers take note. The world is full of people who claim to know other people, yet it's debatable how much they really know one another. We call our acquaintances friends and it is only when we notice that they care very little for us, that we wonder whether we have given them the title too freely. Who is really looking out for your best interests now? That's the person you should feel proud to call your companion.



I donno....

I think of everyone as a friend until they prove me wrong. Then I just disreguarded them with zero respect.

I gotta say, I know a lot of people who wouldn't do me wrong. To me, that is friendship material.

You think other people are a hassle? People in general? People you know?

Well, mostly people I know. And so I assume the same of all people. And don't bother. It's easier just to do my own thing, I guess.

I'm not very quick to call someone a friend. To be a friend one must meet my expectation of a friend and live up to that role, and be someone I can live up to that role for as well. My expectation is something like: 1)cares about me, and not just good times with me; 2)takes effort to get to know me; and 3)shows care and knowing me by taking time out of, if not everyday, every week to spend with me or talk to me and by helping me with my problems when I have them and by respecting my wishes and concerns. To me this seems common sense and yet I only have one friend. I thought I had others, but to say they let me down would be an understatement.

I have a few close friends who would have my back and know me inside and out pretty good. They know my faults and still love me bigsmile . I don't rely on anyone to look after my best interests except myself. I learned at a very young age to take care of myself because there is not a better person to do so. My best and closest friends are my children....I'm pretty sure they would have my back also smokin

That's why assumptions are often bad. They're often wrong. But hey, if you don't bother, why should others?

I didn't ask them to. I don't complain about my lack of real friends, really. Acquaintances fill that void and when I'm tired or annoyed with them, thats the end of it. That sounds worse than it did in my head...indifferent
