have close friends
The Chinese Year

I am a rat according to the Chinese year chart -“does not easily make lasting friendships” it says. I kinda feel like that has ruled my life, not like I wanted it to, but looking back it’s hard to think of friendships that have actually lasted over an extended period of time. I really try though. Maybe that’s my problem, I want it too bad. I don’t know, my sister says I have high expectations.

elerah is getting on with it

I understand what you mean- I envy people who have had friendships that have lasted a really long time. I’ve been told that I have high expectations too.

i’m a chinese, and i believe in Chinese astrology

I'm a rat, too

I know what you mean. I just read the same thing and it applies to me, too. When I was a child we moved just about every year – 13 different schools before graduating from high school. I got really good at being the new kid – looking cool and composed coming in to a group that all knew each other. Hiding my loneliness.

Anyway, what I want most is a close group of friends who can relax and trust each other and BE THERE for each other! I’m ready. I’m generous, kind, supportive, funny, conversant, interested in people. I just haven’t figured out how to keep people in my life long term.

Rats!
