It is easy or hard to make friends?

Hello,happymom,i am also a shy person and i do not like to make friends actively,but if someone make the first move and talk to me actively,i will talk to them politely,i am happy to make friends with anyone if they talk to me actively,luckily many people like to make friens with me and start up conversation with me or i will have no friends at all.

hi there...hey making friends is very easy u just gotta be urself and come outta the closet a bit...i mean try to socialize as much as u can....try and strike conversation on a common topic or hobby u both enjoy...i mean try finding friends within ur own interst lists....and dont be shy....try and follow your husbands suite..i am sure u will make a lots of friends and guess wat...u have got one right now as i am replying to this topic...i am gonna add you as my friend....see how easy it is.good luck making friends...take care...bye..

to some extent,I am more or less the same with you.just take it easy,I am not good at talking with strangers too because I can not find an interesting topic.but I can still make many friends because I am not that cool and I just keep smile and kind,so they all say I am a girl who can get along well.

I think making friends is easy. As to how to remain the friendship, it'll be difficult. The truly friendship needs the time to build.

just be yourself, always wear a smile maybe some people are afraid of making friends with you because you look strict..ehehehe... its really easy to make friends but its very hard to have a real friend

i dont usually make the first move also but maybe it's my approachable aura that is workng on me why despite of being a bit shy i still get to hav lots of friends

i do find it hard to start approaching people. i am not good in starting conversations. just like you, i wait for people to approach me first. and if ever i find their company okey, i stick with them and have them as friends. but if not, i don't put them in my friends' list in my heart. so, i don't really have lots of friends like others do. i might know a lot of people and these people know me, too. but i don't consider all of them as friends... anne

I find it easy to make friends because I like everyone I feel that everyone deserves the same respect as any other human being there are good and bad amoung us all and we just have to know when to be cautious and not move to fast but I get along with everyone some like me some don't but I am not going to lie and sugar coat things life is hard so you have to be friends to get along and be able to make it in this cruel world I wish you luck my friend

Making friend is not hard task. But finding true friend is a hard task really. The moment we start talking to someone, friendship starts. If our meeting continues for days, this converts into long time friendship. If we could manage this relation for longer duration and we find that we are respecting each other's thoughts, true friendship starts. Only need is to nurthre this true friendship for converting it into permanent one. Once true friendship starts, we enjoy life-long. In your case it seems that you are of too much shy nature. You need to start talking to the person whom you think worth it. Take initiative from your side. If not possible, take care about someone's initiative. Keep discussions on whenever you meet for some time. Daily meeting, talking etc will keep you far from shyness. If you are able to make few friends by this technique, you will find that you are master in this field. Only need is not to feel shy at first meeting. Learn few techniques from your hubby also.

If you accept people who they are and you give your trust to them it will be easy for you to make good friends that will treasure you as well. Me, I only make friends to people who have a good heart and people that can be trusted. Someone who will not betray me someday. So, It is not easy for me to trust and I make sure I get to know them first before I attach to them.

we can just a friend if you good.I am like you before,shy.But now I learn to be a friend when I am alone.I learn to entertain a visitor When I am alone.So just try,as long as she or he is good.God Bless..

Well its i find it hard because I cant tell whos stuck up and whos friendly. Its hard to find tohse nice people , since most people are stuck up.

Well, it's easy to have friend...but the only hard thing is to find true and faithful friends.

Making new friends is really easy. but when it comes to online friends its bit dificult

For me its easy to make friend but difficult to make true friends that are on par with my thinking. I seem to attract people who are out to make some money from me by selling something to me, or those that seek comfort from company which means that once they know that you are geniune, they actually stick to you every moment of their life. cathylmg http://govege.blogspot.com

i also am shy and can relate to what you say ... it is easy to make friends but for that, conversation is needed ... altho as it might have happened to u i find myself in a case where people that i never spoke to but was around started missing me or when i went out after a long time were happy that they saw me (i don't really understand that) ... i in a way have lost hope of makeing reall friends(altho in a way i have real friends) because i can't speek ... everithing in life confuses me and i think ALOT (except for when i am outside with people, then i can't even think) ... point is that you must find someone with witch u can talk but for that you must have the same interests and stuff (my problem is that i havent found anyone interested in the same things as me so i have nothing to talk about either besides being shy) it also helps if u would get ure self esteem bigger and speek what you trule belive in even if it meens interupting someone

it is easy to make friends but it is very hard to continue the friendship

Hi, happymom1, My case is that I can make friends but somehow or other I do not like to make friendship with anybody. In case somebody talk to me I will also talk to him. Next time, if he says "hallo" I will also say Hallo. That is all. I do not know why I want to live in isolation. By nature I do not like talking to people or moving around in crowed. I do not know why I behave and think like this. Even in office I do not talk to people. They may consider me otherwise. I do not care. I will do my duty that is all.

i think i am similar to you, happymom1,i am not able to start a conversation till others begin to talk to me.and even worse,i wont have too many facial expressions,so when someone want to talk to me,and see my face, they will just quit...hehe...embarrassed!!! i dont know how to start to show my friendliness towards others.that make my life a little bit hard.but anyway,if someone is reallly willing to be my friends, they will know that their choices are completely right, only...only that they need to be patient and start it...
