And now: do you easily make friends with others?

[Rabbit]

No, not really, I'm very polite and I introduce myself but I find it hard to open up and be relaxed around people I've just met, but once I know someone really well, we're friends for life.

[Mimixxx]

I find it hard to befriend complete strangers, I can be ridiculously shy. Alcohol helps

I sometimes feel like the most awkward person in the world, I hate it It can come across as quite standoffish and any attempts to prove otherwise usually invloves me over compensating and acting like a dork.

Once I get to know someone though I'm much less dorky :nerd:

[Cobalt]

I'm rather quiet and shy, and I don't tend to say much at first for lack of anything interesting or relevant to say. So yeah, it's hard.

[Gitta Rensolo]

actually.....I first started talking to my best friend on the internet. It was some weeks before our first week at uni started on a german facebook thingy....it made things a bit easier, because when we first met she came over to me and said "Heeeyyy you must be Julia, right?" haha I will never forget that.....and then we made friends together..-.-

and about this thread: I am not even talking about how open minded you are towards strang ein the first place....I am rather talking about the deepness of your friendships....yeah that's it....like, do you have a lot of friends, but a lot of superficial friendships...those you go out with to have fun....or do you have 1, 2, 3 or 4 good friends who you can call real friends?

[Cobalt]

Oh. I have very few deep friends.

[Braddock]

I can speak and get along with pretty much everybody, even if I don't like them. I know people from all sorts of backgrounds. The list of people I respect is very low though.

[Gitta Rensolo]

btw sorry if my thread title is a bit misleading haha....

well, I think I cannot even keep a superficial friendship, because I usually don't call or text people I do not care about. I think this is one of the main reasons why I only have a few really good friends....and not really superficial ones....well, I have some superficial friends but sooner or later I loose contact with them anyways...

[ivet]

I hate people.

[Mimixxx]

I have the same close group of friends I've had since primary school and we're all still very close, in fact it was my best friend's wedding last week and now we're all betting on who will be next in our group. I have lost the superficial friends from high school though, apart from the odd message or comment on FB.

Same with previous jobs, I've held onto one or two close friends, but not the people I was only friends with in work, but rarely socialised with out of work.

I have also made a few close friends from this board too, most of whom I see fairly regularly. Is easier to stay in touch with people you meet online though I think.

[Lore]

definitely it's easier because they are online like every day!

I have basically the same friends I had in high school, it's been 10 years since I met them. My best friend is a high school friend. Well we used to be like 10 and now we're a group of 4 or 5 girls. I don't make friends easily

My other friends are online friends (I consider a few coldplaying members very good friends even though I've only met 2 of them because they live so far away ). I met some great friends too because of a coldplay fan club here, we do a lot of fun things together and they are way too nice I went to Buenos Aires to see Coldplay with some of them

My uni friends are just superficial friends, can't believe I've known them for the past 4 years.

I wish I'd live closer to some of you guys

[Mimixxx]

Some of them aren't on everyday...but okay most of them are

I'm good at tweeting people back, bad at texting people back. And I hide my twitter from my non-Coldplaying friends too.

Same here.

[Clocks In My Place]

No, I am quite an introvert. I am actually getting better at it now though. (I have 114 friends on Facebook, if that tells you anything. Only few are family.)
I have a handful of really close friends. I don't talk much to my (closest) friends from primary school, but we chat online sometimes or when we meet each other in the street and we make sure to keep an annual tradition. I feel as if we can still talk about private stuff even though we see each other rarely.
I never feel as if any of my friends blame me for not keeping contact, but they are just as bad as I am.
I'm in the same class as my best friend, so we basically see each other every day.

It's hard for me to make friends though, because people don't go much to me.

I know exactly how you feel! Everything you said. I am like that!

[Mimixxx]

And we've actually met...I'm surprised we managed to talk to each other! I promise I wasn't drunk.
