    Many people were brainwashed by stupid television, stupid teachers, stupid parents, stupid priests and stupid politicians. After years of stupidity they just have no idea how true friendship works. Just try to be friendly, more spontaneous and try to really be interested in the interests of people around you.

    Fear of rejection. I am a pretty closed off person. I may seem, extroverted , and I am to an extent. But I have major/admiral size trust issues...

    Make? Friendships to me are a gift. Guilt, forced, or cohort isn't a real friendship, its a hostage...

    Simple. You have to be a friend to have a friend. That's right not a one way street!

    There is no such thing as its a hard thing to make friends. Stop looking for them, stop being someone that u r not just to be in their circle. Its not a life threhtening thing and not an issue or a question either.
    if u find it hard then just stay where u r and just do ur thing. keep it simple and act as u r and be who u r.

    I think it's because of low self-esteem.

    ni honestly believe that the feeling of being alone does cause it. and not having anyone to vent to makes it worse its like a cycle i really want to get out of thanks :)

    I think that its due to people moving from one state to the next for work or upgrading to a different lifestyle. Change is always hard and the most dramatic. Change is also emotional and brings about many difficulties. I always wandered why is it that theres soooooo many people in this world and yet very hard to connect? I myself have the same problem. I'm very happy, cheery, extroverted, charming-yet can't find someone to talk to about anything. When your younger its alot easier to form relationships. However, when you get older due to experience and painful expectations we are just basically afraid to start over. My cousin just moved from Syracuse to Florida and so far hasn't made one friend. Its really hard. I dont think it has anything to do with the individual, I think it has to do with society and how it affects us.
