"Making friends is a sharp display of the reality which is ourselves. Its all about us and our skills as people."
How I did it: I had to wonder if I didnt have more friends because I chose to be that way or if I was truly a non likable person. More and more I came to the realization that I like to be alone and sometimes its hard to put up with other peoples quirks, dramas, problems, etc. But with friends, you realize that most of the time, the times are good, peaceful and worth whatever comes your way. How people relate to you is how you relate to them; thats all on you. When I opened myself up, I came to see that Im a pretty cool person who attracts cool people back. That made me feel great.
Lessons & tips: Open yourself up. Take the dive. Talk to people. Dont be afraid of asking someone to get together. People get so wrapped up in "did that sound gay?" "Did I just sound like I was 10?" Who cares, we all had crazy amounts of friends at 10!
Resources: I went to places that I know other people have the same interests. We met someone at the local town social, a group like Buffalo Audubon Society, a hiking club, whatever. Half the work is already done by doing that. These people like the same things you do, conversation should come easy.
Remember, you are a good person, most of us are. If you think youre less than someone, it will show. Know youre a good person, believe you are worth knowing and make it happen.
