Maybe I am not good at making friends

hi, being friendly is natural and no need to force it for being friendly to other,i am more prefer to be alone but since i am a gay,being friendly is natural,and not hard for me to be friend in to other people.

Hi buddy.. Well you are not the only person on this earth facing this problem.The reason why ur cousin make friends soon is his communication power.This is very important.This is something which is partially gifted and partially developed.First of all,have confidence and a sweet smile on your face while talking to anybody.Try to develop good sense of humor.If u can make the other person smile then nothing is better than this.Never say harsh words,be polite,sweet and soon u'll see the result.GOOD LUCK

That is the same way wth me. I do not have friends in my real life because it just does not work out. They use me or treat me other than a friend should. I try to be kind to others but they are never kind or trustworthy back to me.

I am not a sociable person too. Even with family gatherings,like clan/relatives reunion i seldom attend unless my parents insists or our family will be hosting the event. Whenever we are hosting the event, i am always given the tasks for games to play (kids,adults and olds) I can manage even then,but after the event,i still can't find myself talking to new acquaintances providing they are our relatives. I am too shy to start any conversation,so i just sit there and smiling to everyone.

Good day to you kingparker, You know, I am bit like you, I always tell myself that I am not that good in winning ones friend. And there are times, the more I try to get closed to the new pal, the more that they go far away from me. As a result, I feel more upset since, the more I tried to be friend, the more that they are trying to go far. For this reason, I always think that, I am not really good in making and winning new friends. However, I did not stop hoping that someday, I will win and have at least one friend. What I did, is, I have tried to pray for that wish. And to my surprise, I have met one friend. I have thank God for the granted wish. And not only that, God not just gave me a new friend, He made her as my bestfriend. And now, though I only have few and counted friends, at least, I can say to the world that I have a bestfriend. Perhaps, you can do the same - pray for it - it really works.

I have seen that difference with my two daughters. My eldest is timid and shy contrary to my youngest who is very sociable and friendly. My youngest would easily go around making friends, it doesn't matter whether they are younger, older or at the same age with her. She was even closer to my eldest daughter's classmates more than with my eldest. I don't know what's really wrong with my eldest because her classmates would tell that she was too kind and generous and actually voted Best in Religion by her classmates which the criteria includes not only the academics but the attitude as well. Maybe there are people who are more approachable and easy to draw friends.

dont try to be your cousin , be yourself , when the right person comes along you will have a friend , anymore ppl are so shallow and into themselves that real friends are truelly hard to come by . I am 43 yrs old and I have 2 true friends one of them for 32 yrs and the other for 23 yrs and I wouldnt have it any other way , I dont need alot of friends just true friends , make yourself happy hon and the rest will fall into place , be yourself and it will be ok , if you try to be something that your not thats what your gonna get , when you do get a friend always be true to that friend at all cost and that friend will be true to you , good luck and first and foremost always stay true to you and never compromise your morals or who you really are for anyone ...... good luck in your search
