Do you think making friends is typically hard?

[Anonymous]

Yes, no matter your personality

As long as you don't have character flaws, yes

No

It depends on your first impression, and vibe

Great friend over here, I have many friends and here to help!



It’ll start with… people suck but, you don’t have to. Sounds cliche but, learn to not only love yourself but I think it’s important to like yourself and understand the difference. If you have problems with people or making friends, fuck them, move on; be a friend to yourself.


As weird as it sounds I like talking to strangers and don’t mind telling them if I see a cool shirt or if this song is awesome. You’ll be surprised on what someone has to say a bout anything relatable. You may start a conversation with someone then next thing you know there friend or even another random bystander is just chillin there waiting for some great input. Just keep the topic light, not too political/controversial/ religious/ not one sided because it’s not about you.


I’ll give you an example of what I mean. Watch out for people who love themselves too much or people that are extremely cocky or just talk about them selves. An arrogant asshole might genuinely love himself and his/her accomplishments and will put on a front on how much they like themselves when they don’t. Once you suspect a front it is confirmed if you can spot many and this only something you can see for yourself. This is something you have to assume make have your own judgement on. So I guess it takes a great amount of respect for yourself one should have before letting a new friend step in my life.


Friends will come and go. It’s a part of life. Most of mine are still well respected enough for reconciliation and that’s how it should be. The friends that went away just moved on or away for the better. And it’s okay to cut a person off if they are not respectful or being a great influence on your goals or needs.


So once again, you want a friend; be a friend. Befriend yourself first, respect yourself, friends will come and go, connect with old friends to keep things going strong! You got this!

It's hard for me for this reason: I don't trust very many people and feel uncertain of their intentions (maybe those are both the same thing?). There are always people who want to be my friend or hang out with me, but I often times wonder why and if they really want to be my friend, or if they just want to use me. Whether it's for personal favors, wanting to look cool and like they have a social life, or want someone they can just spend all their time venting to. So I'm a friendly person, yet at the same time I don't get too close to many people because I'm unsure of what they want with me or from me.

it is difficult to make friends because adults tend to be super picky on who they hang out with. Even people who claim they are lonely and need friends are extremely picky on who they hang out with. I've had people reject being friends with me over the dumbest reasons such as not knowing how to cook pork buns from my culture. Secondly, people tend to get more reclusive as they get older especially by the time the hit their 30s.

Making friends requires persistence, open mindedness and the willingness to be social. People with the least friends tend to have none of these 3 times.

Making them is easy. Wanting to keep them around is hard. I get annoyed very easily and like to be left alone

[razelove]

It depends on how you define "friend" it's very hard for me, because the biggest value I place on close relationships is trust. I've seen some people call co-workers and acquaintances friends, which is sad, but better than nothing I guess.

[menina]

Yes, I would say it is. You need to find like-minded people and of course you must like them and they must like you. It's not easy to find people like that.

[Pinay_ako]

Making friends is easy. It’s keeping them in the long run is hard. Life happens and adulthood gets so busy, true friends don’t disappear. They’re there especially when you need one.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yeah, especially if your character is less flawed, because you won't relate to most people.

[Nikki1989]

No, it is not. I am constantly rejecting people for friendships. You can only be friends with so many people.

[Eelif]

Depends on what kind of friendship you're talking about. Just because you're in the same environment, you can't equate the person you're talking to with the person you've been friends with since you were 5 years old.

[Boomchakalaca]

Yea im introvert and have one good friend from hs i talk with

[LiamJHayden]

How do you define friends? I have lots and lots of acquaintances with whom I do things, but I have very few "friends" in the sense of people I truly trust.

[KostasKouvalis]

I think when you're young it's easy, but as you get older it becomes more difficult, because people already have their clicks

[exitseven]

Yes, and the older you get the harder it gets.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, no matter your personality

[Googlemyahoo]

Not hard to make them but usually as I get to know people they begin to annoy me

[Anonymous]

Trying to avoid people who want to be your friend is even harder

[Kingofkings1992]

Close friends? Yes, absolutely. Especially when you’re an adult.

[4ngelic]

[Anonymous]

[DeeDeeDeVour]
