Personally I do because you feel more safe and secure like nobody will mess with you because you got your friends to back you up.Well when I started my first year in middle school I was trying to make new friends because I though that I would be a loner in class or lunch so is kinda a thing I had to do for me to feel secure.I accomplished it but then next year some of my friends moved away which made me feel very scared I think about 5 of my friends moved that year but I made new ones and yeah I know it is hard to make friend but you have to try you know.

Hi Naruto555, Yes, I enjoy making new friends. I am the first to go to welcome new neighbors to the neighborhood and offer my services to help them with anything they need to make the relocation a success. When making new friends, you will sometimes find that they have very interesting careers, family history, and/or hobbies. You may find out that you have nothing or quite a bit in common, which is okay. You can learn from each other if the friendship grows. Sometimes we can choose the wrong people to become friends with. Once we are in the friendship we realize, for whatever reason, that it will not be in our best interest to remain in this friendship. Even though a friendship is dissolved, one must not give up on making new friends. Having true friends is like having precious rubies.

I am rather a very closed person. I find solace in a group of very few buddies. I hesitate to make very few new friends. But there is something amazing about me. When ever I enter into discussion with someone else, they find me quite amusing. But quite so often I feel like running away from them. I know that this is some sort of a phobia that I have, but still then I am like that. And despite this I have never felt that alone. I had my bunch of friends who are quite close to me and I hang out with them. And I am fine in that group.

I always like to make new friends. Friendships are one of the strongest bonds we can have. We can never have enough friends in our lives. The love and support of friends can see us through both good times and bad. We should cherish the opportunity to make new friends when we can.

obsolutely. i too agree with you. always i try to find new friends through mylot, face book and also through yahoo messenger. i just need a good friend only and not for any business purpose or any other personal obligations like need of help etc., friends always keeps you smiling at all times and will wake up at all your needy times to help you . a friend in need is a friend in deed . this is correct

I will make friendship with others not for my protection. I make friendship because i am keen to do friendship with others and i want to mingle with every one. Even within friendship can also have so many type of quarrels. So we should not do friendship for that reason. Of course if you have a friend with you and if you are in trouble then it is his/her duty to support you and he/she should take care of you.

"A friend loves at all times!"...though it's hard at the beginning but your hard work is really satisfying...i like making new friends because for me friends are like precious jewels...it's rare...it's hard to find...but when you do find one...wow! it's really amazing...for you have the most important one...and it will last for a lifetime...

I would like to have new friends. The more friends we have, the more connections we would have. By having a lot of new friends you will also learn a lot of stuff from them and will be able to help you also in any way. Just like me, I have lots of friends in another social networking site aside from facebook then when I have posted that I need help regarding some unexpected things that happened in my life, they have been all willing to help without me even asking for it. That is the most nice thing about having lots of friends and ahemm, admirers also.

I do love making new friends. New friend, new idea. When you have more friend you feel more secure and much meaningful to live. Friends are the best gift from god. I do like to have fun with friends a lot. I do gel with every one of my friends. Friends are for entity.

Yeah, I like to make new friends, though I tend to be poor at proactively seeking them out, as you did in middle school. My friends tend to be a few, close friends, (as you say the kind of people that can be relied on) and I usually meet a new friend when I least expect it. So I tend to make a new friend seldom enough. Great when it happens though!

Hi, Yes...I like to make new friends. It is good to have more friends....at least, we have more connections and maybe one day we may need their help. When I was a kid, I always feel shy to make new friends. I remembered my mother always told me,don't be shy, make the first step to approach your friends and then you will have lot of friends. At last, I did it and now I have lot of friends. However, to have a best friend is not that easy.

I'm not really that fond of making friends. I just consider what's there in front of me. If i think they're worth the time then i'd hang out with them. That's it. I'm really not into long term friends cuz it also says you're semi-obliged to them like you have to attend to them whenever they're down. I have enough problems for myself and i don't wanna add theirs to mine.

I used to have a big circle of friends back in high school..but after i moved to another school all my friends were gone :( But then i made new friends from my new school and it may seem hard finding new friends but i did try anyway. I don't like being alone where ever I go to because I might look like a loner, as you said it. I like making new friends, although im the shy type of person but it makes me happy meeting new faces and making new friends. Everything seems to be ok when you're with friends..
