How well do you make new friends?

it depends on how comfortable i feel. like last night, i met a bunch of new people at this party - just walking around talking to people and what not. but if i'm not feeling comfortable, i have a real hard time

 

Not that easily. I love meeting new people and have random chats with them but a lot of the time I just can't be bothered and tend to stick to my already existing friends.

 

Online, insanely easy, I came on here, posted a thread about a decapitated head, and as a result, ended up with tons of friends. Well...actually, it probably had nothing to do with that thread and that might be the reason why some people still don't talk to me...haha. But, in real life, I suck at making new friends. I'm very selective anymore and I don't find many worthy at work. Those who are end up leaving for better jobs or something. I haven't made a new friend (I consider a friend someone I hang out with outside of work) in a long time.

However, I am pretty good at finding new boyfriends. But I haven't had to do that in a long time, either.

 

i have a terrible time with this. seems i only make friends online. when i work normal jobs, sometimes a co-worker will become a friend.. but not usually.

 

In real life - real easily.
Online - not that easy at all.

 

Yeah, it's way easier to make friends in real life than online. Actually, I don't have any friends online, I just come on here to cure boredom or find out stuff. I don't really know how to "approach" people online hahaha.
...hey, want to be my online friend? haha

 

Yeah, I am not good at online approaching either...And I think most people think I'm an idiot or a bitch or whatever.

So yeah....lets be online friends....

 

Sweet. My first online friend! nice to meet you piaf. haha

 

Nice to meet you too, telephone.

 

i make friends really easily. even when im not trying apparently. some chick i met once and hung out with for a few hours apparently went round talking bout how we became sooooo close in a few hours.. yeah, i had fun, smoked some weed, had some beers, cooked some munchies.. but that dont make her my friend. i get along with damn near everybody, and im very likeable. Hell, who doesnt love a stoner chick with good weed, awesome food and razor sharp wit with a smartass mouth? LOL
I have a million aquaintances.. FRIENDS only 3 my bestsest friend Shyler, my sister's boyfriend, and my former best friend, even though he fell out of my good graces for a few months, is still my dear, dear gay boy. Geo, I consider you as close to being my friend as two people who have never met can be. im convinced if we were to meet in person, we would be awesome friends. i dunno what it is about you.. rock on buddy.

 

I'm fucking awesome at it

sometimes I make enemies for fun too

 

Amen Hilder, amen. You know, back when I first got on Canna.com, and was trying to find some smoke, a young man befriended me and even brought me some smoke, although we had never met. Now I realize that is highly dangerous thing to do, but he was a cool young man, and he is now one of my friends.

I usually make friends easily, online or in real life.

 

Making news guy friends is very easy for me.. but girls not so much. In fact, that part is extremely hard. I just don't connect with girls as much.

 

I met six or seven people from Cann.com, some i still talk to, and see regularly, one dude, bubbleman was crazy as fuck.. let him go REAL quick.. still to this day, talk to and see kdizzal, slip, flatz, and skalesking often. met hello3pat, who was cool as fuck. I havent run across to many locals on this forum. I usually get along more with older folk, parents LOVE me. I too get along with males more. im a tomboy at heart, and I dunno, most women dont like how outspoken i am. I think in the past 6 years, Ive had one female friend, who is now my best friend. Ive been a fag hag since the 3rd grade, so most of my best friends have been male. I get along with males so much better, although i tend to be really nice, and most men take it as flirting.. thats gotten uncomfortable a few times.. LOL
but its all gravy..

 

there's a difference between friends and aqquaintances though. a major difference. or people you hang out with. a friend is someone who you can trust with your life.

 

I make friends rather easily. I pay attention to people, and those that have good character get my attention.

 

I find friends pretty easily. However, following up with the actual effort of friendship tends to get difficult on their part. It seems that no matter who I become friends with, we each end up going back to old friends and losing touch. I've made some really good friends through friends and at school and everyone gets along well with my current friends...so, I've been starting to branch out and combine the old with the new!

 

I am very cautious with people in my life. I travel a lot so it is hard for me to do the day to day friend type of things with others.

I know tons of people that are friendly to me and I enjoy being around them. However I do not know if I would call them true friends.

I do have some people I consider friends on the internet. But most of them live in a different type of world that I do. But none the less some of them I will meet in person. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

 

Not very easily. I try not to trust people right away. It's a skill I've developed over the years to protect myself.

I don't need very many friends, and I tend to be very choosy when it comes to getting them. I think this is smart. I don't think you should trust anyone too quickly.

However, the friends I do have, I care very much for. They would not be in my life if I didn't.

Another thing I do is try to let the process happen naturally. If I meet somebody who seems really cool, and we mesh pretty well together, then yeah, it might work out.

 

I make enemies easier then friends. I just have a very difficult time trusting people.
