Making friends

@k_krist I've never been completely friendless; I've always had friends; it's just that I don't make them easily. I also don't trust easily, so that plays a part. I had some "friends" in high school who ended up betraying me and making fun of me to my face and behind my back. After that, I let very few people in. I think between those things combined, it has made finding friends more difficult, but ultimately, I end up with the right kind of friends, I don't see most of my friends much anymore because our lives are busy, but they exist, and when we do talk or get together, it's like no time has passed. I think at this point in my life, I'm less worried about making new friends and more concerned with staying connected with the ones I do have, even if I don't talk to them or see them much, I try to keep the connections strong, so if it has been a few months I'll randomly reach out and say hi, and sometimes they'll do the same.

Hi. I understand that for some people it's really hard. I knew someone who's like you but she's a good person. As long as we're respecting each other ways I think there will be no problem.

Well it’s better if you’re the one who will initiate. It’s not a waiting game that you’ll wait for them to kinda approach you first and wait. Sometimes taking the courage is the best thing to do.

@k_krist You are right.
