Gaining friends has never been easy for me. I am the kind of person who is so shy at times that im not so confident with myself. I am still not totally out of my shell. Still fears to be rejected when attempting to make friends with others. There has been improvement though:) Im no longer that same person who just stays at the corner but at some point im still struggling on how to start making good conversations face to face.. im just so happy social networking sites are established:)i can share my ideas without the fear of someone interrupting me because tey just don't likw what i am sharing. i don;t know, im not so good with group discussions face to face unless we have been really closed friends. i am kinda aloof of sharing my opinions when i am not close to that person im talking to,.some of my friends are telling me, "you know what, other people would really think you are not approachable." im used to it. people thought i am not friendly.. They just misunderstood my silence. It's funny. But hey, please don't hesitate to befriend me:)

Hi eiram23
you've found the site where you get to express your opinions, ideas, feelings and point of view on the different discussions here. you will meet a lot of good people here not only from our country but also from other nations. though they were just virtual friends, you will see their sincerity.you will never feel alone here.there are group of filipino girls here who used to go out on weekdays to have like coffee or a small gathering. I can introduce you to them. they were my friends, I've met them during the first meet up and they were so nice.sooner or later, you will gain friends here.
can't wait to see your star!

you know what im not even thinking about my earnings.. what matters is im enjoying myself.. its the same thing,, i go online log in to my fb acct, no monetary involve, the only difference about mylot is i am not getting bored, i just so love it.. im not even checking on it, maybe because it wasnt really the main reason why i joined here.. when youve told me about bursting my emotio0ns here, sharing my ideas, my thoughts, these are the main reasons why i am here:)

Hello, eiram! I hope that by now you have already gained few friends here at Mylot. I know that it could be a struggle to take a step in wanting to befriend anyone. You do not have to be afraid. Learn to open your heart to the people who might want to know you, too. Not all people can understand everyone. Just be yourself. Try to brick down the barrier that stops you from letting people see who you really are.

That's great!
Just allow people to be part of your life and enjoy their friendship and company.

I don't really make friends easily either, and I am not the kind of person who could just go up to somebody and talk to them about their day. One of the ways that I have tried to get over this is by meeting in larger groups and asking my friends to invite some of the people who they know. That is good for both of us as I would be able to get to know their friends and they would be able to get to know mine as well so we would all end up with more friends. I have quite a lot of friends and I am very grateful for them.

That's a nice idea. befriending your friend's friends:)Yes, having a lot of friends is very important. You will have a lot of people whom you can turn to incase you need someone to talked to. You can have some people whom you can share your sadness, your fears, your frustrations, your laughters and of course people whom you can share your life. Good thing we have these friends, otherwise our llife would really reallly be dull if we ought to stay alone..so keep making friends:)

hello there eiram23,
with reference to your post, i think you are on the right site, where you can express yourself. you can also gain a lot of friends here having different nationalities, that except from the earnings you are acquiring, you are also meeting a lot of people virtually. well, being at this site is like hitting not just two birds with one stone, hence, you can have three, first is gaining friends, second is earning money and third is learning knowledge and new ideas as well. this site is almost really superb.

It will be my pleasure..Im 22 and you? How are you? Yeah, Mylot is a perfect avenue for us to express our thoughts. I actually admire the person behind this site. He/she did not only made this for his own benefit but more of giving us chance to share our random thoughts, getting positive feedbacks from wonderful people and allowing ourselves to get transformed from being aloof to a more participative person.
