As someone who has always had friends, I'm curious as to how some people have a hard time making friends. To people who don't have friends/have difficulty making friends, what are some obstacles you face which makes it hard for you to establish friendships?
Who do you consider as your friends? And who do you consider as an acquaintance?
Friendship looks different to different people. I consider people I hang out with as friends, even though we never talk about personal things , because I choose to keep those to myself.
Do you have people like these? Are you friendless because your definition of friendship is different than mine? Or do you not have anyone to hang out with?
I'm not a talkative person, I'm very quiet in real life but I've always had people come up to me and want to be my friend.
So no, it's not that I'm talkative.
Hmm.
I'm genuinely curious about people who say they don't have friends. Do they have NO ONE in their life? Or is their standard of friendship high?
What is it in your case?

I've always considered myself close to friend-less. It's because I have few friends and maybe because we don't hang out that much compared to other friend groups out there. I've considered them close but never too close that I'll trust them with all of my secrets. I don't know if it's just my insecurity or I'm just not very likable, but I've always found making friends hard. I've noticed how people friends or family just never seem to hear me. Every time I talk, I noticed how they're really not that interested and so I'm stuck on the spot between continuing or just abruptly stopping. It could also be just part of my overthinking brain. Anyways, I have never considered anyone as a best friend in my entire life. I don't really consider people who I know as friends, more like acquaintances. Now that just makes it seem like I'm the problem, isn't it? lol
ReplyI have always had people approach me to be friends as well. Acquaintances are people who you happen to run into from time to time who you have a friendly chat with. You don't go out with them or talk to them on the phone. Nothing further than having a chat.
Friends are those who you talk on the phone with, go out with, and go to each other's places.
I have a friend who I go out to meet once a week, a couple who are also my next door neighbours, and another who comes to my place and we catch up on things. Also I have a few acquaintances I talk to when I go the shops. When I was young I was friends with a girl for 16 years. Later on I had a male friend and another woman friend each for 30 years.
