When i approach though i find it quite easy to go and talk to someone, i can be quite random but i dont make friends to 'make friends' i go and talk to someone when i feel i want to go speak to them or say something so it clicks quite naturally. Esp if u meet them at college/work or whatnot, just making friends to 'be friends' isnt my style, alot try that at college, id rather be alone if i dont feel anything towards u other than the need to greet u with 'mornin'. Alot of people in response have told me the first things i mentioned though like 'oh u know what when i first spoke to u i thought u were like this... or ur funny haha, never thought that 'coming from u' n im like wat do u mean... what did u expect? ... n there i get my explos... others say theyve warmed up to me through other people like theyve seen me with others and 'finally' got round to say hello or something. n then im like lol u shouldve done so sooner. if i noticed i wud of done the job. With Guys tho Yes it seems more difficult. Guys are the worst for judging me face to face. lol I used to have a lot of guy friends i used to joke about n hang with, Fun times... @n@ Now though when i approach them in a 'friend' way, they always either assume something n have to have a wierd reaction till they get to know im just friendly and not interrogating u, or interested in u specifically.

Either it's the worst or it's not the worst. They should definitely event a word for in the middle :p I have heard that one, now that I think about it. A long time ago. Lucky for you, I got hit in the head last year and got a concussion, so every joke is a new joke to me :p Also, your laugh wouldn't happen to be the same laugh as Kululu in Sgt. Frog would it? If it is, then you're awesome :D I'd want to say that it's the same laugh to look cool but the character doesn't ring a bell at all... maybe all awesome people share the same laugh?! Whaat does that mean you have memory loss?! heh heh reminds me of that Adam Sandler movie, 50 first dates! :D

One of the characters, named Kululu, laughs just like that. He's also kind of evil lol Long story short, I went to a hockey game early last year and one of the pucks hit in me in the head. Since the concussion, I've had short term memory loss. It's not as bad as 50 First Dates lol I just have to write stuff down, if I want to remember it.

I don't go to bars or places like that. Dont worry about it i am 26 and i never go to the bar. I normaly drink with diner, or at home lol. I met some great people at school, and work. but so far not many friendships have stuck. I know those feelings. It's easy for a friendship to end ephemerally , but to keep one up for a long time is challenging. Unless you're a natural fit for that person.

KittyClaws 3652 cr points Send Message: 22 / F / Washington DC Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/5/12 No way. When I was younger I was socially distant and all the kids would ignore me. Being older now, I can communicate better and have more of a mature conversation. If anything, I make friends better now.

PhyongHwa 4126 cr points Send Message: F / Earth Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/5/12 Well, as an adult, I can talk to anybody, but I don't consider anybody to be a friend. I have this absurdly high standard as to what a friend is, that I don't think anybody can live up to, but I don't want anything less.....and although I have no problem with those of different or no beliefs, apparently they have a problem with mine.

a619ko 8966 cr points Send Message: 20 / M / San Diego, CA. Online	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/19/12 I do have trouble. Mostly because I do not trust them, I view anyone speaking to me in public as an enemy, a competitor. But I do not treat them as such, I treat everyone the same as a human, with certain respect at first sight. But the second they cross me... The only few people I can deeply trust; family and a few friends I've known since my childhood.

untainted_devastation 2858 cr points Send Message: 18 / M Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/19/12 Well i guess it won't be hard if they're like CR users. Open-minded, but we're different in real life , saying 'Hi' or 'Hello, what a good day' or 'Nice to meet you' isn't easy to some strangers.
