Do you easily make friends?

I used to, but now I am disabled in a wheelchair so it's not so easy because people have preconceived notions about disabled people, even though I am still fundamentally the same person.

hi subha! ^__^ i don't easily make friends. but not because i'm judgmental. its because i'm not that friendly at all. i am not the type of person who initiate a conversation with a person so as to make friends with that person, i don't do the first move. and even if that person is the one to initiate the conversation, i may respond but i would still not be friendly. it takes time for me to feel at ease with someone. its because i always feel awkward with people i don't know. but sometimes, if i need to be the first one to initiate the move, i would be forced to do it and muster enough courage to be friendly. ^__^

I am causious when first meeting people but when I go out and sell books I have to be friendly and forward and talk to alot of people. As for close friends I don't have a lot of friends but the ones I have are very good ones!

I don't make friends easily, but it's not because I judge them. I know what I'm looking for and I'm very selective. Why choose someone who doesn't fit my personality? I used to be friendly to everyone, even the ones no one wanted to be friends with. I worried that maybe the person was nice, but mis-understood. Wow! Have I been burned that way! I feel sad I can't be open with everyone anymore, but that's life. In looking for a new friend, I know I want someone my own body size and type. Age isn't always a consideration, I have friends who are older and some who are younger. Mostly, I only have true friendships with some of my family members. Like I said, I've been burned too many times and maybe I'm over-cautious. In my life right now, I trust only three people. I used to trust four people, but he left me -

i can't explain thoroughly what is the reason why i can easily meet new friends every now and then but when i felt that they are not good friend i voluntarily leave leave our friendship...almost everyday i meet new friends...i am a very friendly person but i don't want to be abused.

Hello!I am new to this site.I am from China.I like to make friend,but there are some difficults for me to do that. I am shy.I don't know how to speak to her/him.I can't find the subject that's common to us. I'm new,so I also don't know how to make new friend in this site.Who can tell me?

I do not go out of the way to make friends. If they come on their own, I generally do not reject it. I accept it provided there is mutual trust and mutual understanding which are foundations for a good friendship. I do not have that calibre to attract people and make them as friends and I feel it is not necessary.

yes i can make friends easily if i want it...i can easily adjust and understand them...however some people/friends behavior is intolerable...in that case ill just lesser my visibility of that kind of people....

I make friends easily as they find me good and charming.In school,I am known as the princess because of my popularity and friendliness.

I am a person who can easily make friends if I choose to. It usually depends on my mood at a certain time. If my mood at a certain time is like happy and jolly, I would easily make a new friend. But if I'm in a bad mood, I don't go out of my way to make friends with anybody. I am not judgmental, though. It doesn't matter what or how a person looks for me to make friends with him or her. It is really quite easy to make new friends and new acquaitances, but choosing those who you would consider true friends is definitely another thing.

yeah, judgmental but always do it with style..i was in sales and had a lot of time spent in trying to deal with unhappy customers..the happy customers were no problem..but sometimes I had to walk away from a lot of hostile people and just blank them out..it is not worh the time or effort..but it never gets to the point where you don't run into the same types over and over again..The friends I have I have had for a long time..and its harder to make new friends and envolves more "work and effort" but it comes with age i guess..or lack of patience..lol

I'm not a very social person. I don't make friends easily because usually I don't talk much and people use to think that I'm stuck up.

Yeah, I am a person who makes friends very easily. I don't judge the person by how they look or how they present themselves, but I judge them only after knowing them for a long time. One thing that I lack though is being able to follow up on new friends that I make. I find myself sometimes neglecting new friends to socialize with my old friends, up to the point that sometimes the new friends can be standing at one corner feeling lonely. I certainly need to buck up and try to improve on that.

I'm actually a little of both. I'm a social, friendly person who loves meeting people, but at the same time, first impressions are horrible. As much as I try not to be judgmental of people, it's really hard not to have a first impression of someone that might otherwise be negative. I always give people a chance, though. I love getting to know them to find out what they're all about. I'm a curious person, so I like to see what makes people "tick," if you know what I mean. I'd say that I can make friends pretty easily. It's the true friends that stick around for a while, though. Great discussion!

It depends on the environment. If I go to trendy places where like nightclubs etc. I don't make friends that easily, but if I sit in a familliar and comfortable environment like a cafe, I can make all kinds of friends.

I find it very easy to make acquaintances, I have many of them, but I am choosy who I decide to let become a friend.

I am not a social person ,I don't like talking too much.And I am not easy to trust the others.Last time ,I meet two girls,they said that they are sisters ,at the same age but they are not twins.So I just doubt that is it truth or not,would you meet someone st first time and she tell about her family??Why they tell me that they have two mothers? I don't wanna know that.So I chose not to belive them.

Well, I am rather choosy at times....actually, earlier, I couldn't make any friends because of my attitude. but in the end, I changed and now, am able to make friends whom I want to make...I feel it easy to start up a friendship, but, now, I have got so many friends, and some of such whom I really don't want at all!! Now, I start to rather become judgemental in choosing people for friendship! I am too sensitive for the word friendship, and consider those people as friends who are really! Even I try to understand the person and how he/she would make up for a friendship!!!

I have to confess I do not make friends easily as I am awfully shy but when I do they are my friends for life.I dont know that I am so judgmental its more like I look for common interests and for warmth and caring from people I meet.I know that I value my friends very much. In fact my best friend and I have a standing date we meet at Burger King every two weeks to chat and catch up on each other and to help each other with our joint diabetes problems. we met through our sons as our sons were best friends and two computer geeks while Nelda and I have so much in common we are both diabetics and we even both have birthdays in November.And we both grew up in the midwest and migrated to southern california.

In fact I'm not a person who is good at communication. But to every friends of mine I'm truly. In my opinion, the friends is like my sister,they give me help in day life. They are part of my life. Also I will make effort to increase my ability in communication.-_-!
