Are you good in making friends?

When I was in high school, I'm a very friendly person. I could almost talk with every person in the school if given the chance. I hang around with teachers and even spend time talking with some old vendors in our cafeteria. My mom would always say that I have a very active personality. But everything changes, sort of, I guess. First thing, I don't want to hang out too much with my friends anymore. I'd rather stay at home. Maybe I just got so used to being out with my friends. Well, at least, I still have friends. Gee! I mean, I'm not even good in public speech. I have an inferiority complex. I'm just afraid to be left behind, so I tried my best to keep up by means of making friends. I envy those who have the ability to speak with intelligence and all that. And especially those who have a very sheepish face, one you can never be afraid to talk with. :)

hi invisiblelady... during my high school days I'm also very friendly, like you i talk to all of my classmates and hang out with them... we sleep in my friends house and we visit our teachers sometimes... but I'm surprise when I get in college, I change a lot. I become shy and I don't have lot of friends like in my high school days. sometimes I don't want to talk with my classmates. but I realized that having friends is very important to everyone of us.

Hello invisiblelady You know there's nothing wrong if you have many friends.If you are good in making friends when you are in high school then you still can do that even know.The only secret I know to cope up with your problem with speaking intelligently is to read a lot. You try to read newspapers, read something about general knowledge,and always be updated with current events, and believe in yourself no body is born with ugly face. You know their are so many people out there that is not that blessed with beautiful faces but they standout because they try to discover things that they where blessed at.We need to learn to appreciate what we have.okey.. You can do that ..

I think I am fairly good in making friends. I don't approach people a lot but they somehow approach me. I think it's because I don't discriminate whoever I speak with, as long as they're nice to me, I'll entertain.

I was pretty shy in high school. There was only one Catholic High school per 60 mile radius. There are kids there from all over not just from my elementary school, Many, many homerooms going in alphabetically so my friends were pretty split up then. Over all I think I had 3 close girlfriends, Not in touch with any of them now. I do miss that part of my life very much this is cool place to make some even though we may never meet in person this does help to stay socialized. Yes, I do not want to be left behind but that what happens when you get married and work and taking care of children. There is scenario which I am single and working two jobs and taking care of my children. Does not leave much time to meet people and establish friendships Thanks and have a great day Sincerely Unqiue16

Oh... I have met people who are very shy and like you, I don't even know if they were able to make friends. I hope you'll find more friends even if you already have children. GOD bless!
