We were talking about people we used to know last night. I got to thinking.
We walked together you and I along the same path, through sun and rain we had a laugh. Then our paths, divided no dispute or disagreement but we went our seperate ways. If now and then our paths should cross I'll greet you as a friend. Company is fine for a little while but I dont like busy streets. My path is mine I walk in peace and Im careful of the company I keep
being careful about the company you keep doesn't keep you from getting hurt. when you can't keep a friend for more than a yr. at best because you were just a fill in between the downtime with their other friends, u can't know that ahead of time. it's just easier to walk away rather than get it started in the first place.

Oh I don't know, to quote the bard ..tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

You have had difficult times. I can appreciate you being cynical.

I have been focusing on being the kind of friend I want others to be for me. Maybe I'll be an example some of my friends actually follow because they appreciate the effort made? We'll see! It feels better than waiting around for all those friends to figure out kindness on their own...

Personally, I don't want nor need to have many IRL friends. I have one IRL friend and we've been best friends since 2nd grade. We're both 39 and we are very different people. She likes being around other people, whereas, I don't. I'd rather spend one on one time with her, just hanging out, chatting maybe just tagging along while she's running errands. But mostly, I like to stick to myself cause I don't really trust people all that much any more and I really don't want to be asked a million and one questions about my personal life from someone I will never see again and feel like I am being judged for whatever reason..
I'd also rather have online friends anyway. Like on a forum I am much more chatty and all that stuff online than I am in real life.
I am probably more chatty in in real life than online when the mood takes me. I like a good chat. It is often similar to online though as I can chat for ages to someone I don't even know lol

That's a skill I don't really have, but I do make myself do it when I have to.

I'm the same IRL!
I am not a 40 year old man in disguise, seeing whom he can attract on websites such as this! I am definitely 41 years old and female. You'll get no trickery from me!

I think having some friends is important: no one wants to be a loser. Rejecting people before they reject you [not anyone specifically] shows a bad attitude. Being friendly - but wise - is very important. Being friendly does not make someone foolish. I think we all need friends and it'd - personally - be wrong for me to say I'd rather be alone. Without friendship life is empty and boring. We all need emotional connections: at least I do.
I'm not sure what to say been skimming through messages in this topic cause I think friends can be soo different so too with situations and such, it can be a bit confusing to keep track with things on my mind
I'm mainly looking for friends plus moving soon so have to start from scratch again online friends seem to be easier

As a person who had to move a lot (26 addresses in 26 years), it took a long time to get used to starting all over again. Online friends are "portable," so to speak...accessible, no mater where you are.
i am an introvert and i have generalized anxiety disorder and i don't like to go out and mingle among others. i prefer to mingle online. that way i am comfortable and if i freak out i can just press a button and be gone. lol!
i am not used to having friends in real life and i don't really want them necessarily except at arm's length. it's just easier that way.

yes, we are portable friends, it's it nice? If we really really really want and after a long time.....you can meet virtually anytime/any where

I love the idea of "portable friends " rather than 'cyber friends' or 'online friends' as if you lot not real , of course you are...
I'm sitting here with a cup of tea having a break from cleaning and interacting with you you I wouldn't have time for a physical meet up or sit down with a cup of coffee with some with someone, so you guys are perfect.

Ive never had these close friendships that many talk about.
I cant say I have ever missed it. Ive moved around, been busy with my life and always found that others want/ need more from me than I can or want to give and I find that I dont get that same support or warmth from them ..so I let them drift away.
But if you need it then you have to work at it. Do you have any special hobbies or is there something you would like to learn? Because sometimes joining a class or group is an easy way to meet people with a shared interest making it easier to make friends. After all you cant just wander up to someone on the street and say hey be my friend...
Once you have friends you have to be willing to invest in them . Listen to them, support but not judge, and nurture them like fragile plants..
I know I make it sound like hard work but thats how it feels for me..
So I hope you stick around here, use us for practice we are real people behind these keyboards ..we laugh and cry and we all support each other just as friends in the real world do..
People can be users. Sometimes NOT being friends with someone is better. I don't want to become involved in other people's mess. Others can want, want, want: but never give anything in return.
Also, 29 years old is hardly over the hill: my grandmother is 96 years old and going strong. It is possible to make friends at any stage of life: but you have to get out there to meet them.
I'm sitting here with a cup of tea having a break from cleaning and interacting with you you I wouldn't have time for a physical meet up or sit down with a cup of coffee with some with someone, so you guys are perfect.
And I wouldn't want to attend a physical sit down. So y'all are perfect for me too.
