Well, rainy, u have had plenty of time to accept my friendship, and you have not. Boo-hoo! LOL!....so I am off for now,. Have to get ready to jog these dogs in the snow out there, and do not want to do that, but have to, for their sanity and mine, actually. ...as beings around here will be stir crazy later. See you later!
To share a personal experience: I recently moved away from my friends to a new town and it was a rather wonderful experience. It really made me realise how much my friends were holding me back and encouraging my bad habits. I'm not very good at making friends myself, as I instinctually dislike most people, but I'm sure that I will meet the right individuals when time comes. For now, I'm enjoying all of the time I have to focus on myself and self-improvement. Having a significant other sure does help though. Work is always a good place to start looking, if nothing else.

Have you ever tried something like Toastmasters? I've never been to one of their meetings but a friend has and from what he tells me...it sounds like a place one could meet people.
I wouldn't want to do it either. I'd suggest church but that's the last place I would want to go to make friends....but to each their own. What about work-out classes that you can just go to when you feel like it? BTW....friend invite sent.
yeah, church and working out don't interest me..lol I've visited all sorts of churches, temples, cults, just out of curiosity. Yeah, not a great place to meet friends. My problem isn't necessarily making friends, if I really apply myself at social events I can make friends and it's even easier online to even find people near me. My problem is holding onto friends. It seems either I scare them away or if I'm the one that stops talking to them then it's probably because they don't stimulate me intellectually.
I have no use for most of the people I meet. They are just not on my wavelength, and that's fine. I would rather be alone than be friends with people I am unable to connect with. I do yearn for quality friendships, but those have been lacking for most of my life to the point I have gotten used to my own company, which is the best company of all. I don't need people around me to be happy. That isn't to say I am happy, but I find that having people around I cannot relate to makes me even more unhappy.
