It is difficult in real life for me to make new friends since I am a realtivly shy person and find it difficult to relate to my peers. I just feel so out of place and don't really seem capable of speaking that much, but then some think I get a bit weird once I do come out of my shell, which makes my confidance and self-esteem plummet... but thats who I am... online though its a bit easier for me to make friends and I really enjoy making new friends.
I think its just easier... because I don't have to face someone and I can take my time to reply rather than just have it blurted out.
Anyone else have any similar or other problems who might like to make a new friend today?

I'm not part of second life, I may have heard of it though. I don't play WoW as it costs money and I'm a college student who needs to keep her money for emergiences and school supplies and taking care of my kittycat. I do however do play-by-post roleplays online and get online friends through there.
It's nice to meet you.

Thanks, and I'm not good in a group setting... unless its all my friends which would be a very small group if I'm just counting ones I know in real life. I'd be classed probably a wall flower I guess.

Hello Trinquette!
For me having friends is not difficult.
It is easy as long as you can entertain
what they likes, talk, and hobbies or
just go with the flow of what they enjoy.
You should mingle to everyone so that you
will be more happier if you have a group of friends.
You will start a talk for them and goes with them.
Try to hear their sentiments whatever they wanted
to tell then thats the way to win more friends.
You will be enjoy and have fun with them.
Learn to share whatever topics they wanted to
tackle on and its amazing! Forget your shyness so
that you will be glad for them.

Hi Trinquette,
Your personality is refreshing. It is what's called being an introvert (someone who thinks deeply and has very little to say to anyone)I think if we find one person who is a true friend we are very fortunate. I have been out of school for quite sometime and I have the same best friend, who doesn't live in the same state but we keep in touch. You will find that special friend who will be the perfect match for you. Be true to yourself, you were create that way, perfect!

I have a friend from school who lives in another state. Still she rarely visits or calls... and I keep losing her number which doesn't help

Being shy had nothing to do with bad, there is nothing to worry about. Slowly , you will begin to open out a bit when you grow older and have more friends later on. Trust me, nobody is going to hate you or reject your friendship just because you are a shy person. By the way, i don't have similar problem you described here.
