Its not you're just looking in the wrong places, I'm an INFJ-A probably one of the best friends a person could ask for honest nice empathetic i even be little myself to make my friends feel better also helped a few of my friends from commiting suicide bc I told them what they are to me and they thought they meant nothing to the world and i gave them a reason to believe again, I put it like thid you think you're nothing what do you think most of the famous people and all of those other people with money thought they were before they got it? And they thought about it and I said well they also had that thought but the thing about it is you have to keep pushing through to achieve your goals and trust me i believe you will and all people really need in this world is motivation and if you give it to them they feel 100% better trust me helping people helps you.

@Kakagahd12 Huh what are you on about?

Great question, truly good friends are priceless. Someone who cares and will listen when you are up or down. Give you advice or make you laugh and smile. Those who would help you move and pitch in those who would buy you groceries or gas ( actually I do this for people ) true friends.

As you get older yout time and priorities change, they gave other things going on like school, kids, working, etc. So trying find friends/ hang out with them can be hard and decrease. That's the thing about life, once you graduate you all go your separate paths and from their make new friends possible. The little friends I had growing up are gone and I no longer speak to them, all except one. But we barely hang out like we use to cause we work and have families.

I have no idea, I’ve always wondered the exact same thing.. I’ve only had ONE genuine friend in over 20 years of my life. It’s very sad.

If you want loyal friends - do something to get attention and then accept the people who approach you - cause the ones you approach will be less loyal than the ones who approach you. When I say do something to get attention - I don't mean something stupid - if you join a public speaking club or do volunteer work or help out at the place you pray at - that is a good way to network and make lifelong friends.

Friends take effort. You have to put in the time to want to get to know people paying attention to details. Are you doing that when you meet people you get along with?

What is the definition for a genuine friend for you these days friendship is based on what we can gain from eachother

[Guy13]

Being ANON does not help and provides me with a pretty good understanding why you may have Difficulty

If it would hv been easy, they would not be known as genuine friends. Would they!

[Manuel2]

Because most will never tell you what they want from you. Or will not help or get involved or supoort you when you need it.
The only friend you can trust is your own self.

It’s probably your subconscious. You’re used to shallow friends so gravitate toward them.

People aren’t genuine

[FilmGuy93]

Because people are selfish and lazy.

[ZenJen444]

People are crazy these days

[Papabubbles]

Because people only care about themselves
