does anyone here struggle to make friends in real life?

[LifeHouse]

it is just mine personal experience. but i think if you are someone who is socially awkward, simply going to chruch, bible study and introduce yourself is not going to cut it.

what is your experience?

 

[justtrance]

I do. I tend to keep to myself because of social anxiety. I keep busy with my family instead.

I think a small group through church would help you to get to know people.

Most people are not even worth trying to be friends with anyways.

Pretty much everyone just lets you down and disappoints you anyways, (Christian or not).

I just expect the disappointment at this point so it's not even worth it to even care really.

Ouch. That's sad. I cant say I dont get into a bad mood and feel that way sometimes but I try not to be that way all the time. I will pray God changes your heart. HUGS!!

I don't even try to make friends, to be honest. I'm so accustomed to being alone that having friends doesn't seem all that appealing anymore.

Do you have family that you enjoy life with?

Oh! I forgot about singles groups. Sometimes churches have singles groups you can get to know people through and enjoy activites.

I'm actually really easy to get along with and pretty outgoing, so I "Can" make friends pretty easy.

It's just that you get tired of being the only one that wants to try and hang out and being the only one who puts all the effort into the friendship.

Or the other person doesn't even really care about you, is selfish or has some personality disorder etc.

No, I understand you. I'm right there with ya.

I'm not all that close with any family members either. I'm just a lone wolf by nature, I guess.

Some of us need less people than others but we all need someone.

I disagree.

I disagree.

Idk, you might be a unicorn who mentally and emotionally can survive without any human interaction. May I study you?

 

[TenthAveN]

I had a tough time making friends in public school. Most of the people I hang out with nowadays I met at the Baptist encampment I worked at for 7 years.

 

[Going_Nowhere]

May I study you?

Nah. Maybe you should keep your distance.

Lol... stranger danger is what I always say.

Irl I mostly let people that want to be my friend be my friend. sometimes if you have that one friend that is decent at being social you might find that many of his friends can be your friends too.

It's nearly impossible for me just because I am quiet, reserved, and socially awkward. It also doesn't help that I don't care to be overly social at work.

 

[Macchiato]

Lol i got less awkward over the yrs.
