I generally get a long with most people. My personality is very flexible and I tend to connect easily with people. I'm not a shy person but then I'm not an outspoken person either. I'm a mellow person who can usually talk to about anyone who is willing to strike up a conversation with me. I like meeting new people and having more friends. I think though that it can be difficult because it's hard to know how another person may be feeling. I feel the more friends the better. Is it easy for you to make friends? Are you a shy or outgoing person? Do you make new friends regularly?

I think its very easy for me to make new friends as long as there is no language barrier. I like it when I open up a conversation and the new friend feels comfortable as well. There's a lot of topic that you can talk to during first conversation. Being a good listener also is one way of making new friends. I am shy opening a topic to people who are older than me.

i am not shy .I am pretty smart outgoing person.But still its not easy to make friends.Well let me make difference clear.Making friends with whom you have deeper bonds is different from having business and other social contacts. I have three friends who are much close and they are constant.Its very difficult to make close friends for me.Its not difficult o build contacts though.Contacts are just like that you get something from them and you do some favor to them in return.

Making friends is easy, keeping them is hard.. through acquaintances or simply just smiling we can attract people to be our friends... it is quite easy for me to have friends as i always put up a smiling face and try to be as accommodating and appreciating.. keeping friends is quite an enormous task as there would always be a lot of factors to consider, i.e., interest, moods, etc...

Interesting question. I easily make friends, and try to be friendly toward everyone I meet. I don't necessarily seek out friends, but whenever I happen to meet someone, whether in a social or work environment, it is generally easy for me to make friends. I have been told that I am outgoing, and I know I am not shy. Friends are important, and getting along with everybody is impossible, but a worthy goal.

Generally I am very easy to get along with as I too am pretty flexible and feel that I can comfort most situations. I do find that I am not a shy type person at all. If in a room with strangers I have been know to open discussions fairly quickly. I am as you that I find that more the merrier, no point for me to be afraid after all it makes for a pleasant time while being within the crowds.

I am definitely a very shy person which is unusual because no one in my family is shy at all. It is hard for me to make new friends because it takes awhile for me to be open with people. Once I am open and do make friends with a person, we usually become good friends and stay friends. I wish I wasn't so shy because it can be a major setback in many situations. I like to put myself in situations which are not in my comfort zone so I can learn to not be so shy.

I am usually the shy type who would rather sulk in a corner that make friends. However, when a person becomes close to me, I learn to open up my self and share a part of my life. Friendship means a lot to me and I value those people who would also consider my worth.
