Friends

That's interesting. Reminds me of a guy I was speaking to, he asked me, 'how's it going?' and I said 'yes, good, I'm just a little tired'. I was waiting for him to comment back but he just stayed quiet. I just felt awkward and walked away.

I guess just say something, like responding to what I said, 'oh why? did you wake up early today?' or something like that and the conversation will just go on.

This might be harder in school than university though. Are you studying in school or uni?

I always give myself a maximum of 5 friends at any one time and get rid of the ones that cause me trouble

why 5? and how do you get rid f the others? should i be concerned?

5 close friends in life is just the right amount to handle And lol no, I mean cut them off slowly. Like, drift away from them and cull them off Facebook, etc.

I'm at uni now. hm...in my head i'd think that, that would be a good reponse, but then i think to myself, i'm not really all that bothered as to how you were doing, and i just said how are you, as it is the socially accepted thing to do, so id cut the conversation there...

Ohh okay, then I don't think you should continue talking further then. There's no point if you don't want to form any friendship with them, just stay how you are. You shouldn't change just because society wants you to.

Like with my part-time work, I don't really make an effort with the people there because I have enough friends and I'm not really interested in making anymore, so I whenever they ask me to go out I don't go. They probably think am anti-social and hate going out but I really do not care because I can't be bothered and they not really the group I would hang out with, so I'm not going to waste my time trying.

I think you should just stay as you are, if you're comfortable. But, just wondering, are you actually truly happy being alone and having no friends to go out and have fun with?

You sound like an introvert and there's nothing wrong with that. I mean you're comfortable by yourself, you just have to be comfortable with the type of person you are. If you don't feel the need to be around anyone and you don't get lonely from it, then why should you have to make friends? Stay as you if if that's how you like it.

But, if you really do want to make friends then you've got to get yourself to be interested in other people. Ask them what they did over the weekend or what's their favourite band. You never know, maybe you just need to find someone who has the same interests as you. That way you'd actually like having a conversation with them. And if you really don't know how to start a convo, all you have to do is walk up to someone and compliment them. Example: you can say "oh hey I love your shoes!" Theywould typically reply with "oh thanks" you can continue by saying "where did you get them from? How much? Blah blah" even if you're not friends by the end of it, it's all cool because it's just about getting used to talking to others I guess

I'm not lonely by just being by myself, but i feel that having a friend(s) is useful. Like in such a closely interlinked society, its will be hard to get by without others, and your right, maybe if i'll find someone who i will actually want to make an effort to talk to. Thanks
