Do you typically try to make friends yourself, or do people naturally flock to your personality and try to be friends with you?

Question

Are you the go-getter and seek out friends, or do you find that you are more passive and potential friends come to you? I realize that friendship generally happens over time, but how did it happen? Did you find them, and you sought to be friends, or did they end up finding you?

As for myself, I typically am the go-getter and seek out friends to game with but it has happened where someone has found me too. Still, my answer would still be that I seek out friends.

I'm typically the one trying to make it hard for anyone to approach me. But for some reason people have always tended to attach themselves to me. In the military. In business. Socially. Romantically. It can be exhausting. Hence I have learned to limit my interaction. Otherwise I become the the dumping ground for everyone's problems and the easy solution for them. Hence I set hard boundaries then enforce them.

I don’t naturally pull people in

But the ones who do end up getting to know me tend to stick around so I guess that’s something

Still I always wanted to be “Mr popular” but that just wasn’t in the cards for me

There is definitely an upside to that but a downside as well

The older I get the harder it is to make friends due to not going out that often and being very shy but every now and then I will make a good friend at my job because that's honestly the only way I meet people these days. It's usually they gravitate towards me because I'm so shy.

I've been on both side of the coin. I learned that reaching out is a waste of time. The only friendships that worked at all for me was started by the other person.
