Do you make friends easily?

[TNGayGolfer]

Yes, I am blessed... friends have entered my life fairly easily. I consider myself especially blessed that I have many life-long friends (some since elementary school). As to why, I guess you would really have to ask my friends.

 

[wanky_window]

Yes and no really, tends to depend on my mood.

 

[1st love ron]

No. My experience is that they aren't worth the trouble.

 

[donnykabob]

Do I make friends easily? Yes.

I am very very social, I am active around my school so people get to know me and I guess they think I'm pretty cool since I have lots of people I hang out with, go to bars and socialize with!

 

[gmoney]

Yes and no really, tends to depend on my mood.

This is me also. I'm really shy, but when I'm with people I know, I can be very outgoing and easily meet others in a social setting.

 

[alister9669]

No, I'm just too shy around people I don't know well.

 

[Aaron]

Yes and no.

I get along with pretty much everyone, and mix well in social situations.

Most of the time, when I call someone a friend, they are more like a well-known acquainance. It takes a lot for someone to be considered a part of my close circle of friends.

 

[justsimon]

I'm fairly adept at making casual acquaintances, but I have a hard time making close friends.

 

[chrmd1]

No not really, Im too shy.

 

[SilverRRCloud]

Nope. I do not make friends at all. Friends are created over a very long time, you cannot really make them...

The very few I have are good enough. Thanks Lord for them.

Sadly, most dudes around, who are somehow trying to make friends are after one or the other benefit. Fortunately, they are so lovingly transparent.

Even more sadly, there is less time for friendship than ever. My BF, career, maintainance, catching up on minimal sleep... So, nope. I can only afford very few.

[confusedboy23]

I'm kinda shy too

 

[wastingmymind]

Depends. I tend to befriend girls better, but I'm doing a better job on guys.

 

[sherman]

Yes I've been blessed with the gift of gab, so I have made a lot of friends over the years. Plus I have a Type A personality,which wants me to know everything about everybody.

 

[looneysamo]

Because my parents were both in the military, we moved around every few years.

I had to learn to make friends quickly or suffer alone. I chose to make friends.

Now, the drawback was that it was difficult to keep friends for long, as we moved so often.

I don't have many close friends , though. That takes longer to develop

 

[The_Aviator]

I'd like to think that I am able to make new friends but I'm pretty shy when I'm talking to new people face to face

 

[Rali_hates_Mondays]

Not really, it depends on what type of personality they are. If they're really chatty, a good listener and friendly then yeah it's pretty easy. But when it comes to shy, introverted people I have to try really hard and that's when I get shy. Although there are times when there's a conversation and my mind goes blank and I lose any connection to the group. I end up going along with them, laughing reluctantly at their jokes, pretending to listen, nodding like a pillock and just not enjoying myself.

However alcohol helps quite a bit sometimes, in moderation, of course.

 

[dkonfrost]

I've been fortunate to have made friends fairly easily. I was a shy kid growin up, but I grew more extroverted as i got older.

 

[Christopherb36]

I do well. I am one of those people that hates going to a function by myself, but I am usually able to make friends pretty quickly.

 

[sangoma]

I guess it depends on the mood am in. They do call me the Ice King from time to time. I am the kind of person that likes you on first sight or I don't. But if I think your ok and I concider you a friend ,I'll cherish that friendship.

 

[gmoney]

I think I do make an effort to make friends and I do. Then again, my vulnerabilities take over and I become trusting and come to find out the friend I thought I had screws me and I discover his agenda was not on the same page at all! This causes me to retreat backwards and become more guarded towards the ones that have honest intentions of really wanting to get to know me. I feel it's like a viscous cycle. It takes some time before I can let someone be that close again. I need to figure out how to stop this from happening.
