Word. That'll definitely help

These days I find it difficult to keep friends, because they just want to go out and party, I'm not really into the whole party/club scene. I made a few friends from my old job, but since I got laid off I don't see them that much. I only talk to some people by emails and texting. I don't mind though, I go out for coffee and lunch every now and then with some old friends, it's just the fact that people do draft a part and have their own thing going on. Oh well such is life!

Your true friends will always be just a phone call or e-mail away no matter how long it's been since you last talked to them. I got laid off in 2009 and I didn't talk to hardly anyone I was so "blah" about everything. But when I reached out again after my funk most of my friends totally understood all we're all good now. A real friend won't give you grief if you don't call them every week... That's just my experience BTW

Mhm! I have my one best friend, we never see each other because we live in different cities, we rarely ever talk, but whenever either of us go to visit one another it doesn't seem like time has past at all. I've known her since middle school. It's great, though I wish we could see each other more. \:

Exactly. I have several friends that I barely talk to, but when I do it's like no time has passed at all. That's a true friend....

It's hard to form a friendship since most are formed around history and past experiences during childhood. As an adult you typically stick with who you already know since forming new experiences with people can be difficult because your time is limited when you are an adult doing adult things like working and trying not to go insane from working.

I can find friends easier in real life than on internet as an adult

yup, I may be older but I've remained a kid in personality and things I do and things I like
finding adults who are into the things that I am isn't easy, or at least I don't think it is.

Also, I've always been overly shy and introverted.
And a fear of the real world and the people in it has steadily grown over the many years I've spent just indoors with little to no contact with the outside world aside from family encounters.
I feel its even become a bit of a phobia of mine that is becoming more of a nuisance as time goes by.

So yea it's always been difficult for me to make friends due to my shyness and unwillingness to go or be anywhere filled with people to avoid socializing with strangers..
but now that I'm an adult i feel it's even harder and will only continue to get harder for me.
I just hope that maybe once I get a job and am forced into being around people it may help me at least a little, if only I could stop procrastinating and build up the courage to actually apply to jobs rather than just saying it.. but there's always that fear of starting life in the "real world" that holds me back..

yes and no, manly because ive grown up and I know what kind of friends are positive influences in my life and what kind of people i shoudnt be friends with.

growing up and having lots of friends comes with alot of disappointments and ended friendships, and growing up as a kid i failed to understand that. Ive come out of my shy-stage, and now that im older, ive found myself in the protective stage, where it takes a long time for me to trust "friends" mostly from my failed friendships in the past.

So I guess it is a lot hardier and easier...when your younger you get used and backstabbed by those you trusted but you arent as lonley..but when ur older you try to not become used but you get more and more lonley. its kinda funny when you think about it.

No way, its way easier. I know what I like, I know what type of people I like, and I am free to do whatever unlike when I was a kid. Its not that hard, just start introducing yourself to people as you wait in line at the grocery store or whatever. Its only hard if you never talk to anyone or never give anyone a chance.

You have an amazing profile picture btw

haha thank you

Yea it's alot harder to find and keep friends as an adult. You either drift apart from your old friends or people backstab u... Im in my early 20's and almost everybody i know is either nothing but a party nut. I like to drink but i cant really deal with big crowds or drunk people who cant hold their liquor. I find it more better doing things on one's own at times. But thats just me i guess. I think its better to keep your friends small and just rely on the ones who you know who's going to be there and always have your back.

I laugh at how I acted to make friends.

Not as long as I have the power of my penis.
